🔴 ASTS is trading 4.65% down today as traders lock in profits after a recent surge

ASTS is trading at $84.73 (4.65% down) as investors lock in profits following a significant multi-day rally.

• The stock is giving back a portion of its recent gains after a massive 21.44% jump on June 29 and a further 2.41% increase on June 30.
• While the reported $1B Japan J-LEO grant for AST SpaceMobile and Rakuten remains a primary catalyst, no new developments have been announced to sustain the upward momentum today.
• Broader market softness is likely contributing to the downward pressure on high-beta growth names like ASTS.
