AST SpaceMobile Lines Up Four Major EU Carriers for Joint Spectrum Bid
ASTS is trading near its 52-week low of $39.87 (4.5% above the low).
Summary
AST SpaceMobile signed a non-binding LOI with Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone to explore a joint bid for MSS spectrum in Europe. The four carriers are the same operators AST already runs integration testing with across eight European countries, so this extends existing partnerships into the spectrum layer that gates commercial service. Spectrum access is the bottleneck for European rollout in a market of roughly 500 million subscribers; a coordinated bid with incumbent MNOs is a stronger path than going it alone. It is still an LOI — no binding bid, no price, no timeline, and no regulatory approval. The stock trades near its 52-week low around $41.67 against a $133.86 high, so the market has been pricing execution risk heavily.
