The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations that AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS) Misled Investors Regarding its Launch Schedule   

According to the complaint, SpaceMobile purports to be in the advanced stages of assembling and testing its first generation of commercial BlueBird satellites, the “Block 1 BlueBird” satellites, in advance of launching its space-based cellular broadband network. Following the planned launch and deployment of five Block 1 BlueBird satellites, the Company intends to initiate limited, noncontinuous cellular service in targeted geographical areas, including in the United States, in order to generate revenue.

On April 1, 2024, after the market closed, SpaceMobile issued a press release disclosing that production of five Block 1 BlueBird satellites had been “impacted by two suppliers, leading to delays in integration and testing.” As a result, these five satellites were expected to be transported to the launch site between July or August 2024, later than the previously expected launch in the first quarter of 2024. On this news, SpaceMobile’s stock price fell $0.62, or 23.6%, to close at $2.01 per share on April 2, 2024.

Plaintiff contends that during the class period defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) production of the Company’s five Block 1 BlueBird satellites had been negatively impacted by two suppliers of key subsystems; (2) thus, the Company had not substantially completed the production of the Block 1 BlueBird satellites; and (3) therefore, the Company’s five Block 1 BlueBird satellites were not on track to launch in the first quarter of 2024.
