🔴 AST SpaceMobile is trading 5.7% down today after Viasat urged rejection of overseas spectrum request

AST SpaceMobile is trading at $39.49, down 5.67%, after Viasat asked the FCC to reject its request for additional overseas spectrum, citing interference risks and flaws in the requested authority.

• Reporting explicitly linked Viasat’s objection to AST SpaceMobile’s overnight decline.
• AST SpaceMobile announced progress toward initial, intermittent service in five countries before the end of 2026; that update does not explain the drop.
• The Nasdaq was down 0.60%.
