What AST SpaceMobile Could Be Worth in 2028, According to Analysts

AST SpaceMobile aims to provide global cellular coverage via low-Earth-orbit satellites through partnerships with major telecom operators. Analysts project the stock could reach $174-$290 by 2028 under a bullish scenario, assuming 5% subscriber adoption from 3 billion accessible users, 90% EBITDA margins, and $4.5 billion in net income. The company received FCC approval for U.S. operations and operates a B2B model with carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and Vodafone rather than competing directly with them.

AST SpaceMobile’s Next Launches Could Decide Whether Its Rally Regains Orbit

AST SpaceMobile faces a critical juncture with upcoming BlueBird satellite launches scheduled for early August. While the company maintains first-mover advantage in space-based direct-to-device cellular broadband with strategic partnerships including AT&T, Verizon, and Rakuten, it struggles with mounting losses ($191M in Q1 2026), consecutive earnings misses, and a projected cash burn rate of $1.5-1.8 billion annually.

While SpaceX's Starlink satellite broadband and T-Mobile's terrestrial mobile service appear complementary, the article argues the $180 billion acquisition would be strategically flawed.
