- AST SpaceMobile Sinks 11% in a Week as SpaceX Eyes Boost Mobile: “Pivot FAST”
AST SpaceMobile shares fell 11% over the past week, mostly on Monday after The Washington Post reported SpaceX was in talks to buy EchoStar's Boost Mobile or use its network; neither company has confirmed a deal. A SpaceX-owned Boost could let Starlink sell phone plans directly to U.S. customers, competing with AT&T and Verizon, which are AST's U.S. partners and would feel the impact before AST does. The FCC approved Amazon's $11.5 billion Globalstar purchase on Oct. 27, with closing expected in 2027. The article calls AST's bigger risk its launch pace: only 12 BlueBirds are in orbit versus the 45 to 60 needed for continuous service, and none has launched since Aug. 5. The $74.68 average analyst target is about double Tuesday's $37.15 close.
- SpaceX Wants to Be Your Mobile Carrier
Elon Musk wants to gain access to 80,000 cell sites nationwide.
- Telecom Stocks Fall as SpaceX Eyes 80,000 Cell Sites: T-Mobile Sinks 5%, AT&T Drops 4%, Verizon Slides 3%
T-Mobile fell 5% to $150.74, AT&T dropped 4% to $21.79 and Verizon slid 3% to $43.70 in morning trading after Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that SpaceX is in talks with at least one major cell tower owner for access to a large network of U.S. cell sites. The report follows SpaceX's agreement earlier this month to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum licenses, and tower access would move it closer to becoming a fourth national wireless carrier. The bear case centers on pricing and churn pressure from a new rival, while AT&T's indoor low-band reach is cited as a scale advantage a newcomer would take years to duplicate. AT&T CEO John Stankey downplayed the spectrum threat, and Verizon CEO Dan Schulman argued that satellites cannot effectively compete with terrestrial networks in urban and suburban areas. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF fell 1% to $105.94, and the next test is whether the talks become signed tower leases.
- The mobile ambitions of SpaceX see telecom stocks get hit again. What the latest developments mean.
Reports that Starlink is in discussions with cell-tower owners were received poorly by shareholders of Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
- SpaceX in Talks to Access 80,000 Cell Sites for Wireless Network
SpaceX aims to secure at least 80,000 cell sites across the US and is in talks with at least one major cellular infrastructure company, according to people familiar with the matter. The agreements would help it build a fourth nationwide wireless carrier, with deal values that could reach into the billions. One potential partner is Crown Castle, whose CEO said the company is talking to all parties, including satellite-based telecom providers, but declined to name customers. SpaceX recently acquired low-band spectrum and won FCC approval to launch 15,000 satellites for direct-to-phone service. Tower sites are a key piece it must assemble to reliably connect with users on the ground.
- AST SpaceMobile Hit a 52-Week Low Days After SpaceX Spent $8 Billion on Spectrum. That's Not a Coincidence.
AST SpaceMobile hit a 52-week low of $39.02 on Oct. 20, 12 days after SpaceX agreed to buy Grain Management's nationwide 800 MHz low-band spectrum for $8 billion. The article says the deal could let Starlink, combined with over 10,000 active satellites, become a standalone wireless carrier, threatening AT&T and Verizon's plans with AST. However, the author argues the sell-off is an overreaction, since carriers may need to invest more in AST's satellites to compete, and SpaceX's move may push more carriers toward AST. AST has launched 13 BlueBird satellites and needs at least 45 for stable service, and the decline is attributed mainly to a valuation of 74 times this year's sales. Analysts expect revenue to rise from $168 million in 2026 to $1.73 billion in 2028.

- Shopify Stock Fell After Its Report. Here's the Price I'd Pay for It.
Shopify shares fell nearly 9% after its third-quarter report, even though revenue rose 32% to about $3.7 billion and free cash flow jumped 61% to $816 million. The author points to slowing gross profit growth, which eased to 28%, and higher marketing spending planned for the fourth quarter as signs that profit growth may ease, though the author does not think these alone explain the drop. Part of the cash flow gain is temporary, and at about 70 times trailing free cash flow the valuation remains high. The stock has moved closer to the price the author would accept, but not yet there; the author would start considering shares around $115, about 55 times trailing free cash flow. Shares recently traded near $144, about 20% below the October 12 record close of $179.22.
- Company Proposing World's Tallest Twin Towers Sees Q3 Profit Evaporate 80%
Thaiholdings reported Q3 2026 net revenue of nearly VND 319 billion, up 31%, but consolidated after-tax profit was only about VND 5 billion, down nearly 80% from the year-earlier period, weighed down by a loss of over VND 15.5 billion from associates and joint ventures. The company said 2026 is its first year of consolidated reporting, so the Q3 2025 comparison uses its standalone financial statements; on a parent-company basis, Q3 after-tax profit was over VND 20 billion, down 14%. For the first nine months, revenue reached nearly VND 891 billion, up about 16%, and after-tax profit was VND 106 billion, with the company having achieved about 92% of its 2026 revenue plan and exceeded its pre-tax profit plan by over 14%. Thaiholdings is also one of three companies that proposed the Hanoi Twin Towers 99 project, comprising two 568-metre towers with 99 above-ground floors and projected investment of USD 3–3.5 billion.
- The 'Best Country in the World': Record 174,000 Jobless, High Inflation, Ultra-Slow Wage Growth, and 75,000 People Leaving in One Year
New Zealand's unemployment rate rose to 5.7% in the third quarter of 2026, its highest since 2015, with 174,000 people unemployed, while employment fell by about 4,000 from the previous quarter. Wage growth slowed to 2% from 2.1%, while inflation was 3.7%, above the central bank's 1–3% target range. The central bank held its official cash rate at 2.75% after two earlier hikes, saying it needs time to assess their impact, though further hikes remain possible. Nearly 75,000 people left New Zealand last year, 58% of them for Australia, where GDP per capita is about USD 64,400 compared with about USD 48,000 in New Zealand.
- What Trump losing power over Congress means for Iran, Ukraine and foreign policy
According to CNBC experts, with Democrats taking control of Congress, President Donald Trump could focus more on foreign policy in his final two years in office, while facing closer scrutiny over the wars in Iran and Ukraine. The Associated Press projects Democrats will win a Senate majority and have also taken control of the House, giving them more scope to scrutinize the administration and challenge Trump's foreign-policy agenda. Laurel Rapp of Chatham House said Democrats could use the 'power of the purse' to limit spending on U.S. military and Iran-related costs, but making such restrictions binding over a presidential veto would require enough votes to override it. J.C. Lintzenich of the German Marshall Fund said the president is not a 'lame duck' since he still holds considerable foreign-policy authority, while Congress is expected to provide more oversight, including on Ukraine funding required by law.
- A decision effective from 1/1/2027 will help Dien May Xanh expand its market share
DMX expects Q4 2026 profit to be no lower than Q3, supported by the year-end shopping season, and targets 2026 profit after tax of VND 10,000 billion (+64% YoY), though it could exceed VND 10,500 billion, with 2027 revenue and profit after tax expected to rise 15% and 20%. Vietcap says the planned ban on imports of used electronic devices from 1/1/2027 is likely to benefit DMX, which mainly sells new, genuine products. Management expects ICT and electrical appliances to grow double digits in 2027 and later years, driven by AI-related upgrades, the end of Windows 10 support and replacement of devices bought in 2020–2022. With a market share of about 50% in each category, DMX sees room for further expansion. The House of Future model (AI, Robotics, Smart Home) is expected to launch in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027 at the latest, with no emphasis on revenue or profit targets in the initial phase.
