This Month's Bonus Content AST SpaceMobile Jumps 9% After Government Contract AnnouncementReported by Jordan Chussler. Originally Published: 2/25/2026. 
At a Glance - AST SpaceMobile has secured a $30 million prime contract from the U.S. Space Development Agency (SDA) for the HALO Europa Program, marking the first-ever prime contract for its defense subsidiary and solidifying its role as a key government contractor.
- While the company has seen a one-year stock gain of over 200% and massive year-over-year revenue growth, experts question its ability to meet ambitious goals, including the launch of 45 to 60 BlueBird satellites by the end of 2026.
- Despite heavy institutional investment, Wall Street remains cautious with a consensus Reduce rating and high short interest (over 16%), as analysts weigh recent earnings misses against the company's expanding portfolio of strategic and military partnerships.
Shares of SpaceX rival and communication services upstart AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) jumped more than 9% after the company announced it was awarded a $30 million prime contract from the U.S. Space Development Agency (SDA) for the HALO Europa Program. The announcement is the latest in a string of contracts that have helped drive the stock to a one-year gain of more than 200%. The Midland, Texas-based aerospace firm continues pursuing a space-based cellular broadband network designed to connect standard mobile phones and other devices directly to its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The latest federal agreement, announced Monday, Feb. 23, is the first prime contract awarded to AST SpaceMobile USA, the company's wholly owned defense subsidiary. AST SpaceMobile Is Emerging as a Massive Government Contractor Alongside strategic partnerships with the likes of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), AT&T (NYSE: T), Vodafone Group (NASDAQ: VOD), Rakuten (OTCMKTS: RKUNY), American Tower (NYSE: AMT) and BCE (NYSE: BCE), AST SpaceMobile's expanding role as a federal contractor is positioning the company as a major player in defense and commercial satellite communications. Details of the SDA award underscore AST SpaceMobile's ability to provide rapid, direct-to-device tactical communications using its dual-use commercial BlueBird satellite constellation. The agreement covers the Europa Track 2 Commercial Solutions program, which supports the Tranche 2 Demonstration and Experimentation System (T2DES) project aimed at strengthening the military's transport layer of communications and data relay satellites. Chris Ivory, CEO of AST SpaceMobile USA, said the "selection for SDA's Europa Track 2 program validates AST SpaceMobile's ability to rapidly operationalize commercial space capabilities for national security." He added that "by leveraging our existing low Earth orbit dual-use satellite technology, we support the government's defense efforts, delivering immediate connectivity with our BlueBird satellites and scaling quickly to advanced tactical use cases." Previous federal contracts have acted as short-term catalysts for the company; AST SpaceMobile shares jumped 15% after announcing a prior Pentagon contract on Jan. 16. Lofty Launch Expectations Keep All Eyes on ASTS Despite the bullish developments, questions persist about the company's ability to meet its ambitious 2026 launch goals, which call for deploying 45 to 60 BlueBird satellites by the end of 2026. On Jan. 22, AST announced its next-generation Block 2 BlueBird satellite will ride on Jeff Bezos–founded Blue Origin's New Glenn-3 (NG-3) heavy-lift rocket, expected to deliver the payload into LEO "no earlier than late February." New Glenn-3 can carry up to eight BlueBird satellites per launch. However, industry publication Light Reading reported in late January that at its current pace, AST SpaceMobile risks missing its 2026 launch target. Longer-term investors appear focused on the bigger picture. Institutional investors have put roughly $3 billion into ASTS over the past 12 months versus under $502 million in outflows. In the near term, however, analysts remain cautious. How Wall Street Feels About ASTS Going Forward Of the 12 analysts covering the stock, ASTS carries a consensus Reduce rating, with just three analysts recommending Buy. The average 12-month price target of $52.94 implies roughly 38% downside from the current share price. Short interest remains elevated at more than 16%, or nearly 41 million of the roughly 367 million shares outstanding. That represents a 3.4% increase from the previous month and, at about $4.54 billion, is the highest dollar value of shares shorted since the company's April 7, 2021, IPO. AST SpaceMobile's next earnings report, slated for Monday, March 2, could provide a short-term catalyst and potentially temper some bearish sentiment from short sellers. In its last report, the company posted a Q3 2025 earnings miss — its third consecutive — and reported revenue of $14.74 million versus analyst expectations of $22.04 million. Still, year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 was an extraordinary 1,239.91%, suggesting the company's growing slate of government contracts and strategic partnerships may be starting to pay off.
