Top Dawg Of The Week
The Top 25 list's Top Dawg was $ASTS ( ▲ 1.75% ) , AST SpaceMobile, flying 31%!
The internet phone service by satellite provider said Thursday it made plans to participate in the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference on Monday, December 8, 2025. Otherwise, there was no clear reason for the space stock to fly.
Rocket Lab USA $RKLB ( ▼ 0.64% ) also flew 10% on Thursday, another retail space stock climbing.
ASTS is is nearing the launch of its next-generation satellite, BlueBird 6, which is scheduled for December 15, 2025.
This new satellite is a major milestone, as it features a much larger commercial phased array designed to support up to 10 times the data capacity of earlier BlueBird models, making the technology's commercialization path feel more tangible to investors.
Manufacturing and Production Acceleration
U.S. Expansion: AST SpaceMobile recently expanded its manufacturing footprint by adding new facilities in Texas and Florida.
Production Goal: This build-out is intended to accelerate the production of its next-generation BlueBird satellites to meet a goal of having between 45 and 60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026 for continuous coverage across the U.S. and other markets.
ASTS revenue has jumped dramatically in the past year, according to Fiscal.ai
