6. AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS)

ASTS SpaceMobile extended its winning streak to a sixth straight day on Monday, adding 11.64 percent to finish at $34.82 apiece as the company earned a boost from an ongoing dispute between billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.

Specifically, Musk’s spat with Trump has dented prospects for its space company SpaceX, sparking investor optimism for publicly-listed space firms such as AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS).

Optimism was further supported by brewing reports of its potential tie-up with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, following an Instagram post by the former’s board member, Adriana Cisneros, showing herself alongside CEO Abel Avellan and Bezos, in a photo.

She also captioned: “Amazing things are happening at AST & Science + Blue Origin.”

Prior to the Instagram post, Blue Origin executives visited the AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) headquarters in Texas, with speculations that discussions may have gone beyond launch logistics to cover broader strategic and financial matters.

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) already holds a major commercial agreement with Blue Origin for the launch of up to 45 BlueBird Block 2 satellites, with the option to add 15 more.
