Original: ASTS Stock Logs Worst Stretch Of 2026 As SpaceX IPO Looms — But One Analyst Sees A 2-Year Edge Over Starlink
AST SpaceMobile shares have logged their worst stretch of 2026 as anticipation builds around a possible SpaceX IPO. Investors are weighing whether Elon Musk's Starlink dominance will pressure the satellite-to-phone company. One analyst, however, argues AST SpaceMobile holds a roughly two-year technological edge over Starlink in direct-to-cell service, giving it room to compete despite the market selloff.
Why now: Traders are reassessing satellite stocks as a SpaceX IPO threatens to redraw the direct-to-cell competition.
