SpaceX D2C aggression triggers Piper Sandler downgrade of AST SpaceMobile

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 09:12:39 -0400

Investing.com -- Ast Spacemobile Inc (NASDAQ:ASTS) shares dropped roughly 5% in premarket trading Tuesday following a downgrade from Piper Sandler, which cited mounting competitive pressure and potential satellite launch bottlenecks driven by SpaceX’s expanding direct-to-cell (D2C) ambitions.

Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter lowered his rating on the satellite communications developer from Overweight to Neutral while cutting the price target to $54.00 from $98.00. The sharp target reduction reflects reduced conviction in the pace of AST SpaceMobile's commercial satellite launches projected for 2026 and 2027, driven primarily by SpaceX's aggressive moves to cement control over the D2C

Piper Sandler Downgrades AST Spacemobile (ASTS) to Neutral

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 02:37:14 -0400

Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter downgraded AST Spacemobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) from Overweight to Neutral with a price target of $54.00 (from $98.00).

The analyst comments: “We are downgrading ASTS to Neutral, due to lower conviction in the pace of satellite launches in 2026-2027. We're struck by SpaceX's growing ambition in the direct-to-cell (D2C) market, as evidenced by Friday's decision to purchase mobile spectrum for ~$8 billion. If SpaceX makes an effort to disadvantage mobile network operators (MNOs), the company could theoretically reduce launch availability for MNO partners like ASTS. SpaceX may also undercut MNO pricing or introduce its own devices; these
