Revenue momentum builds as operations shift and backlog grows

AST SpaceMobile has transitioned into a revenue-generating company, reporting full-year 2025 revenue of $70.9 million, with fourth quarter revenue of $54.3 million derived from gateway hardware sales, government milestones, and consulting services for mobile network operators. The company is moving from technology demonstrations to early-stage operations, and has built a strong backlog supported by additional funding and customer commitments. AST SpaceMobile has also disclosed average capital costs for Block 2 satellites, estimated between $21 million and $23 million each, providing increased transparency around its deployment strategy.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent price action in AST SpaceMobile as fragile, with technicals showing a lack of convincing trend and underlying downside risk. He believes that while the transition to a revenue model is positive, most sales are hardware-focused, with little evidence of recurring or high-margin business at this stage. The momentum indicators remain conflicted, and near-term resistance weighs on any upside scenario. Volatility persists, and the weak ADX reinforces his cautious stance. "Until price clears $95.92 and demonstrates sustained demand beyond hardware sales, I see little reason for optimism here."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights AST SpaceMobile’s important move into revenue generation and robust customer commitments. He views the improved transparency around satellite costs and the growth in backlogs as positioning the company well for expansion. Karapetjanc remains constructive given the support from new funding and operational progress. "The fundamental bullish structure remains intact and I expect further growth opportunities as the company scales its deployments."

Conflicting technical signals as intraday buying meets bearish momentum

ASTS is currently trading at $89.39, which is above its SMA-20 at $86.81 but below the SMA-50 at $95.27. This places it in a near-term positive structure, though medium-term resistance is in place, while long-term support remains confirmed above the SMA-200 at $65.80. The nearest dynamic resistance from the Ichimoku Kijun is at $95.92, with recent price action capped below this level.

Momentum signals are conflicted. The D1 MACD points to strong downward momentum, while ADX remains weak, indicating a lack of a clear trend. The RSI sits just below neutral, with Stoch RSI and CCI suggesting neither clear overbought nor oversold conditions, though BBP indicates intraday buying remains dominant. AO also supports a bearish undertone. On the session, a moderate gap up from $87.09 to $89.99 was seen, with price currently near the mid-range of today’s action ($89.99–$92.27). Daily volatility is moderate and the tone is mixed, with upside interest seen off the open but lacking sustained momentum. Divergence between intraday strength and D1 indicators suggests choppy short-term action rather than a trend confirmation.

Last time, analysts noted that AST SpaceMobile is trading above its short-term and long-term moving averages but remains below its medium-term average, reflecting short-term bullish momentum against a backdrop of medium-term resistance. Technical indicators present mixed signals with neutral RSI and persistent MACD weakness, while upward movement is favored within a defined volatility band, with key resistance near $96 and strong support above the 20-day average.
