AST SpaceMobile reports Q3 revenue growth but misses estimates

AST SpaceMobile reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $42.32M and a loss of 44 cents per share on November 9, missing analysts' estimates. The company reaffirmed fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of $150M to $200M and said it expects initial nationwide coverage in key markets by year-end 2026. AST SpaceMobile also highlighted $1.0B in non-dilutive Japanese funding for satellite projects and continued satellite production and deployment plans.

The revenue miss and wider loss increase pressure on AST SpaceMobile's near-term profitability, while the unchanged $150M to $200M guidance leaves the full-year outlook intact. The company expects service readiness in key markets by year-end 2026, making execution on satellite deployment and commercialization central to the outlook.
