On August 20, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. declined 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $63.06/share, with turnover of $199 million. The stock continued to face dual pressure from broad space sector weakness and lingering negative sentiment following its Q2 earnings miss.

On the sector front, space and alternative telecom stocks sold off broadly, with SpaceX falling 6.38%, TELESAT down 6.16%, Iridium declining 1.53%, and Lumen Technologies dropping 3.26%, creating significant drag on the group.

Meanwhile, the company's previously reported Q2 results continue to weigh on sentiment. Adjusted EPS came in at a loss of $0.35, missing the consensus estimate of a $0.28 loss by 25%. Revenue of $31.52 million also fell short of the $34.98 million estimate. Bank of America subsequently lowered its price target from $95 to $80, while the average analyst target dropped to $82.61. Despite the company raising full-year revenue guidance to $150-200 million and reporting a backlog of approximately $1.3 billion, the earnings shortfall continues to pressure shares.
