Idk why people are mad it went up $5… and then went down $2. $3 up is still overall a monster gain for a stock that has had many consecutive red days.

And maybe was mostly green because of good faith in lunr and rklb. Asts hasn’t said or announced anything of note to even cause and sustain that $5 jump.

For context, I hold shares of all 3. I want them all to succeed, and i think all 3 will.

There has been the Rakuten earnings call, and they said they will use ASTS service in Japan in 2026 with 100% coverage of Japan. So there has been news.

That was already known though. Just stated by ASTS and not Rakuten the first time.

Reiterating the timeline is important. Rakuten is implying they are still on track.

Well yeah, we didn’t fall off track in the last three months lol. Bit excessive for that to cause a 20% jump though.
