AST SpaceMobile reports its third-quarter 2026 results after the US market closes on Monday, 9 November, with a business update call at 5pm Eastern time. Wall Street expects a loss of about $0.41 per share and revenue of around $46 million, as investors look past the headline loss to the company's satellite network and its path to commercial service.

The update follows a difficult run for the shares. AST closed at $32.33 on Friday, 6 November, up 7% on the day, but the stock is down by about 21% over five days and by about 37% over the past month, and sits well below its 52-week high of $133.86. The focus on Monday will be its expanding BlueBird satellite constellation, mobile-network-operator partnerships and government contracts.

Revenue growth, but losses are widening

In the second quarter, revenue jumped to $31.5 million from $1.2 million a year earlier, but the net loss attributable to common stockholders widened to $230.9 million, or $0.77 per share, from $99.4 million, or $0.41 per share. Management has reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $150 million to $200 million, supported by additional US government contract awards.

For the third quarter, analysts estimate a loss per share of $0.41, which would be about a 9% improvement on a year earlier. The call, which the company announced on 26 October, will be webcast on the investor relations pages of its website.
