Significance 6

CFO/CLO Andrew Martin Johnson sold 45,809 shares of ASTS at $93.81 on 2026-06-11; stock now down 38.4% from 52-week high.

Andrew Martin Johnson, CFO and CLO, sold 45,809 shares at $93.81 on 2026-06-11 for $4,297,342.29, reducing his holdings from 549,428 shares to 503,619 shares (-8.3%). The transaction occurred near recent highs: the stock has subsequently declined to $82.41, down 38.4% from its 52-week high of $133.86. Johnson's prior trades at ASTS show mixed timing: his 2025-11-26 sell yielded a 90-day return of +53.2% (poorly timed, as the stock rose after), and his 2025-08-26 sell yielded a 90-day return of +4.8% (also poorly timed). At the company level, ASTS reported $14.7M in latest quarterly revenue with a $-191.0M net loss, and while annual revenue growth reached +1505.2%, the firm remains unprofitable. The recent sharp drawdown from transaction price warrants investor attention to both the insider's recent trading pattern at this ticker and the underlying profitability trajectory of this early-stage space-communications company.

Significance 6

CTO Huiwen Yao sells 40,000 ASTS shares ($3.9M) on 2026-06-05 via scheduled 10b5-1 plan; stock down 31.2% from high.

Huiwen Yao, CTO of AST SpaceMobile, sold 40,000 shares (40.0K shares) for $3,854,800.00 ($3.9M) at $96.37 on 2026-06-05 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-06-12—a scheduled, non-discretionary transaction. The sale reduces his holdings by 53.5% from 74,750 to 34,750 shares (34.8K shares). At current price of $92.06, the stock has declined 31.2% from its 52-week high of $133.86. His prior ASTS trades show mixed 90-day outcomes: returns ranging from +5.3% to +80.8% on four sales, with one sale on 2026-03-23 posting a 30-day loss of -4.8%. The underlying company reported revenue of $14,735,000.00 ($14.7M) in its latest quarter with annual revenue growth of +1505.2%, but net income remains deeply negative at $-191,012,000.00 ($-191.0M), indicating the business is unprofitable on a full-year basis. Because this trade is scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan, it does not reflect discretionary judgment about current valuation or company direction; however, the substantial position reduction, combined with severe and widening losses, warrants attention to the company's path to profitability and cash runway.

Director Julio A. Torres sold 15.0K ASTS shares at $76.34; stock at $83.01, down 36.1% from 52-week high of $129.89.

Torres Julio A., a director, sold 15,000 shares of AST SpaceMobile at $76.34 on 2026-05-13, reducing his position from 58,239 to 43,239 shares. The sale occurred at a price that is 8.3% below the current price of $83.01, yet the stock remains substantially depressed at 36.1% below its 52-week high of $129.89. The company is unprofitable with net income of $-191.0M against quarterly revenue of $14.7M, and trades in a volatile band (52-week range $22.47–$129.89). Notably, Torres's cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior sell transaction with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, suggesting no demonstrated pattern of prescient selling across his insider trading history. The timing of this disposition—at a depressed stock price after recent weakness—offers limited clarity on conviction or signal about near-term stock direction.

10% owner Mikitani Hiroshi sold 3,040,000 shares (3.04M) for $270,896,800.00 at ASTS on Apr 14-15

Mikitani Hiroshi, a 10% shareholder, executed two separate sales totaling 3,040,000 shares over April 14–15, 2026, at blended average price $89.11, reducing his stake from 31,020,155 to 27,980,155 shares (-9.8%). The transaction realized $270,896,800.00 in gross proceeds. This occurs in the context of significant valuation headwinds: ASTS trades at $90.94 current price, down -25.5% from its 52-week high of $122.09 and -5.0% over 30 days. The company reported latest-quarter revenue of $14,739,000.00 and a net loss of $122,874,000.00, though it achieved +1505.2% annual revenue growth. The sale by a principal shareholder during a period of material stock underperformance and ongoing operating losses warrants investor attention to underlying business trajectory and management capital allocation priorities.

Significance 4

CTO Yao Huiwen sells 40,000 shares of ASTS at $88.88 ($3.6M) under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; retains 4,750 shares

Yao Huiwen, ASTS Chief Technology Officer, executed a scheduled sale of 40,000 shares at $88.88 on 2026-03-23 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-06-12, reducing holdings from 44,750 shares to 4,750 shares. This represents a 89.4% reduction in his position relative to pre-transaction holdings. Because this transaction is part of a pre-arranged plan rather than a discretionary trade, timing considerations do not apply to this particular filing. The remaining 4,750-share position represents a minimal stake for a sitting CTO, though the pre-planned nature of the sale limits what can be inferred about current conviction. Investors should monitor whether this residual holding is maintained or if further plan-scheduled sales are disclosed in subsequent filings.

Director LARSON KEITH R bought 625 shares of ASTS at $80.00 on 2025-12-24; holdings now 2,015 shares (45% increase)

Director LARSON KEITH R purchased 625 shares at $80.00, increasing his holdings by 45% to 2,015 shares. This represents the third consecutive buy at ASTS within one week (prior purchases on 2025-12-17 and 2025-12-10), suggesting sustained accumulation. However, the stock is currently trading at $71.47, down 25.3% from its 52-week high of $95.69, indicating the director bought above current market levels. The company posted revenue of $14.7M in the latest quarter but reported a net loss of $122.9M, with unprofitability over its most recent full fiscal year. The rapid sequence of purchases into a loss-making position is noteworthy, but the timing outcome cannot yet be assessed as both prior same-ticker purchases have fewer than 30 days of elapsed time.

Director Keith Larson bought 715 ASTS shares for $50,064.30 on 2025-12-17; stock down 35.4% from 52-week high but up 49.3% in 90 days.

Director Keith Larson purchased 715 shares of AST SpaceMobile at $70.02, expanding his stake by 105.9% to 1,390 shares. The purchase occurs at a price well below the 52-week high of $95.69 but during a period of strong recent momentum: the stock has risen 49.3% over the past 90 days and 9.3% over the past 30 days. However, context matters: the company reported a net loss of $122.9M against revenue of $14.7M in its latest quarter, indicating significant cash burn. The director's limited track record—only 1 prior buy on record and another ASTS purchase just one week earlier (2025-12-10)—provides minimal basis for assessing whether this position-building reflects informed conviction or is part of routine portfolio activity. The recent timing and magnitude of the purchase merit attention given the company's unprofitable status, though the lack of measurable outcomes from prior trades limits conclusions about the director's open-market judgment.

COO Shanti B. Gupta sold 10,000 shares of ASTS at $77.34 on 2025-12-10; stock now $76.70, down -19.8% from 52-week high.

Chief Operating Officer Shanti B. Gupta sold 10,000 shares (10.0K shares) at $77.34, reducing holdings from 392,375 to 382,375 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week peak—the stock has since declined 19.8% from its $95.69 high, though it remains up 18.9% over 30 days and up 98.1% over 90 days. Gupta's prior sales at ASTS show mixed timing: one of three prior trades was well-timed at the 90-day mark, while his cross-ticker track record shows a 33.33% well-timed rate across all holdings. The company remains unprofitable with a net loss of $122.9M against quarterly revenue of $14.7M, adding material business headwind context to equity sales by senior management.

American Tower sold 2,288,621 ASTS shares (91.5% of holdings) for $159.6M at $69.75 on 2025-12-09.

American Tower executed a near-complete exit from AST SpaceMobile, reducing holdings from 2,500,000 shares to 211,379 shares through a single transaction valued at $159,631,314.75. The sale occurred at $69.75 per share, which is 17.8% below the current price of $84.75 and notably below the 52-week high of $95.69, suggesting the insider did not sell into peak valuations. The company remains deeply unprofitable with net income of $-122,874,000.00 against quarterly revenue of $14,739,000.00, indicating the target is pre-commercial or experiencing significant operational losses. The substantial divestiture by a major stakeholder at a price well below recent trading levels warrants investor scrutiny of the divergence between the insider's exit price and current market valuation, particularly given the company's ongoing losses.

ASTS director Larson purchases 675 shares at $72.71; company generates $14.7M revenue but posted $-122.9M net loss

Keith R. Larson, a director of AST SpaceMobile, acquired 675 shares at $72.71 for a total value of $49,079.25, establishing his first position in the company. This purchase occurs as the stock trades at $79.05, up 15.1% over 30 days and 106.0% over 90 days, suggesting recent momentum. The company's fundamentals present a stark contrasts—revenue of $14,739,000.00 in the latest quarter is offset by a net loss of $-122,874,000.00, with the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The new director's entry into a position during a period of stock price appreciation and amid significant ongoing losses warrants investor scrutiny of both the company's cash burn trajectory and the director's assessment of long-term value creation prospects.
