4. AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 39

AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) is building the first space-based cellular broadband network designed to work with ordinary, unmodified smartphones. Social media is excited about the stock because the total addressable market is enormous — the company has partnerships with AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, and Japanese operators, and even modest adoption rates produce eye-catching revenue models. The business model runs through existing carriers, with AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) taking a revenue share when subscribers roam outside terrestrial coverage.

However, bears are equally strong on the stock. The demand problem could be a serious hurdle. T-Mobile’s CEO recently stated that satellite usage represents just 0.0002% of their total network traffic, suggesting the dead-zone use case is far more niche than bulls assume. On the execution side, Q1 2026 revenues missed analyst estimates by $21.8 million, coming in at just $14.7 million, with actual service revenues of only $1.3 million. AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) is burning roughly $48 million per quarter from operations, on top of $262 million in quarterly capex to build new satellites.
