2024-01-19 12:59:37 ET
It's a good news, horrible news kind of a day for investors in cellphone-to-satellite-to-cellphone company AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) , as shares of one of the world's more popular space stocks plunge 25.2% through noon ET on Friday.
The good news is that AST just announced a plan to get hold of the cash it needs to finish building out its constellation of satellites, providing the world's cellphone users a means of calling anyone from anywhere via satellite. The bad news is that getting hold of this cash is going to require massive dilution of existing shareholders.
And this, in a nutshell, is why the stock is tanking today.
