ASTS is trading 4.5% down at $108.32 in pre-market, extending Friday’s sharp selloff as sector-wide headwinds and company-specific risks weigh on sentiment.

  • Sentiment across space stocks has been hit by a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explosion and fresh concerns over SpaceX IPO valuations.
  • The decline is compounded by launch execution risks for BlueBird satellites and recent notable insider share sales.
  • The stock continues to face volatility and is bucking the trend of broadly firmer equity futures.
