NextNav (NN) shares rose 12% after SpaceX (SPCX) supported including its 900 MHz spectrum band in FCC's satellite-to-mobile rules. NextNav seeks to reconfigure the band for a ground-based GPS backup network. SpaceX's filing suggests the band could be useful for both satellite and terrestrial uses, potentially increasing the value of NextNav's licenses.

NextNav (NN) stock surged 18.7% to $11.97, nearing its 52-week low of $8.98, driven by FCC spectrum optimism ahead of an October 29 meeting. Roth Capital highlighted NN as a potential beneficiary of SpaceX's cell site expansion. The rally follows a prior sell-off after FCC agenda omissions. Broader market gains and tech sector optimism also contributed.

Scotiabank upgraded AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) to Outperform with a $55.70 price target. Roth Capital noted SpaceX's plan to lease 80,000 cell sites could benefit ASTS, Ericsson (ERIC), Nokia (NOK), and others. Citi sees upside for tower operators Crown Castle (CCI), SBA, and American Tower (AMT), but downside for major U.S. carriers.

NextNav's stock rose 6.47% after supporting FCC's review of positioning, navigation, and timing standards, promoting its 5G-powered 3D PNT system. The company has no debt and strong liquidity but faces losses and regulatory risks. Investors see potential for commercial adoption and revenue growth with regulatory support.

SpaceX's $8B spectrum deal could boost low-band spectrum value, benefiting Anterix (ATEX), NextNav (NN), and Gogo (GOGO). Roth Capital estimates GOGO's spectrum at $2.3B. AVNW and CRNT may also gain. ASTS fell 15%. T, VZ, TMUS declined 9-13%. ATEX, NN, GOGO shares rose 2.7-10%.
