AST SpaceMobile's stock surged over 10% after AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile announced a joint venture to expand coverage into dead zones using satellite technology. The partnership directly benefits AST SpaceMobile, which specializes in satellite telephony and operates BlueBird satellites with advanced antenna arrays capable of delivering near 100 Mbps speeds.

Why AST SpaceMobile Stock Crushed it on Thursday

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have agreed to collaborate on reducing wireless dead zones across the U.S. through pooled spectrum resources and joint investments in satellite-enabled direct-to-device technology. The partnership aims to improve coverage in rural and underserved areas. However, AT&T's stock is currently underperforming its sector, trading 4.2% below its 20-day moving average with fading momentum.

AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile Join Forces To Reduce Dead Zones

AST SpaceMobile reported a significant Q1 2026 earnings miss with EPS of -$0.66 versus expectations of -$0.23, and revenue of $14.74M missing the $39.01M consensus. The stock fell over 13% in after-hours trading. However, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with $3.5B in cash and is advancing its BlueBird satellite fleet with 95% vertical integration. Despite high volatility (beta of 2.60) and a consensus Reduce rating, institutional investors remain bullish with $3B in net inflows over the past year.

AT&T has successfully rebuilt its balance sheet after years of costly acquisitions, selling media assets and reducing debt significantly. With investment-grade credit restored, a 4.4% dividend yield, and strong Q1 2026 results showing 3.6% revenue growth in its connectivity segment, the stock trades at less than 11x estimated 2026 earnings while management projects double-digit earnings growth through 2028, making it an attractive buy-and-hold dividend investment.
