Question
AST SpaceMobile delays 45-satellite launch to 2027 after $1.15B convert — ASTS dilution re-price
Direct answer
The 45-satellite commercial deployment moved to 2027 and the $1.15B convertible adds dilution overhang despite $3.7B liquidity. Invalidation: management secures launch cadence or commercial prepayments that cover the $1.6B annual burn before 2027. — bearish pressure on ASTS.
