🔴 AST SpaceMobile is trading 4.4% down in pre-market as SpaceX gets spectrum clearance for direct-to-phone service

AST SpaceMobile is trading at $49.21, down 4.4%, before the October 13, 2026, market open, with coverage linking satellite-sector pressure to SpaceX’s regulatory clearance to use its own spectrum for direct-to-phone service.

• The report also noted declines in other space stocks; this is not a confirmed new AST SpaceMobile announcement.
• Deutsche Bank’s October 12 Buy upgrade and $93 price target were prior positive news, not an explanation for the decline; broader indexes were mixed.
