On June 26, AST SpaceMobile rose 5.31% in regular trading, trading at $71.35/share, with turnover of $429 million.

On the news front, the broader space concept sector stabilized after the capital siphoning effect from SpaceX's listing significantly diminished, with SpaceX down only 0.09% and Iridium Communications up 3.06% on the day. Additionally, AST SpaceMobile and Rakuten Group announced plans to form a joint venture for direct-to-mobile communications in Japan, with approximately equal ownership stakes and a phased service rollout beginning late this year, expanding nationwide in fiscal 2027. The stock had previously pulled back over 15% across three consecutive trading sessions, pressured by CEO Abel Avellan's entity filing to sell 2.5 million shares worth approximately $183 million and sector-wide weakness. The combination of sector stabilization, the Rakuten partnership catalyst, and oversold technical conditions supported the rebound.
