The upcoming $2T SpaceX IPO is about to cause a generational rally amongst the full space economy… Your chance to enter these space sector names below before they squeeze will end soon: Satellite Operators & Services - $AMZN, $ASTS, $SPIR, $PL, $IRDM Once SpaceX’s $2T valuation is anchored, the satellite sector shifts from "narrative-driven" to "data-monetization." $ASTS and $AMZN’s Kuiper aren't just satellites—they are orbital cellular towers. While rockets get the glory, the recurring revenue from these constellations is where the real cash flow lies. I’m particularly eyeing $ASTS for its high beta and unique D2D play as the "SpaceX multiplier" effect kicks in. Who wins the connectivity race? $ASTS with its pure-play tech or $AMZN with its massive ecosystem? Drop your thoughts below! DM me "ORBIT" for my deep-dive report on satellite moats and entry levels!

WHEN SpaceX finally hits the tape, this isn’t just an IPO — it’s a full-blown capital rotation event.--2 👉Click to view @NasdaqPulse for timely updates amid the volatility. Smart money won’t chase the obvious… they’ll front-run the ecosystem. Satellite Internet + Data Stack (High Beta Plays): • $ASTS — pure-play satellite-to-phone. If execution holds, this is asymmetric. • $IRDM — cash-flowing global network, less hype, more durability. • $PL — data is the new oil, and they’re pumping Earth intel at scale. • $BKSY — defense + AI imagery, leverage to gov’t spend acceleration. • $SPIR — under-the-radar data layer (weather/maritime = sticky demand). • AMZN — Kuiper optionality is massively underpriced vs AWS narrative. Setup: This trade isn’t about valuation — it’s about flow + narrative + scarcity. When retail piles into SpaceX, institutions rotate into liquid proxies. Watch volume. Watch relative strength.

$IRDM Not easy to trust this recent run-up. This was at $62+ not that long ago. My brother-in-law works for $IRDM and thought his pension was toast when this dropped 75%. He's relieved by the rebound, but I'm not sure it will maintain this level. Once ER hits this week, I wouldn't be suprised to see this deflate back under $30. Basic pump n' dump.

$IRDM Ok, ignore my theory below as to why the Thursday surge. I found the reason 100%… (below). The sos messaging still holds and iridium will replace Skylo as Google wants global, its cheaper, and lower latency than bat et al… but timing may be later this year. The reason for Thursday surge was because Matt D took the stage in Colorado Springs for the Space Symposium. He took the stage at 9:30amMT, well before the market opened. He said Iridium L band was used for command control of Artemis Mission. Also show cases their PNT next gen w ASIC among some other highlights. Very bullish obviously.

$IRDM And before anyone asks, Skylo is not global. Samsung is releasing global Google messaging - which detects satellites. Skylo can’t deliver on that, Skylo is not low latency, Skylo is inherently expensive since they are a middle man.

$IRDM The reason this wouldn’t have been in the guide. 1) No contract done as s26 wasn’t even released 2) If they hinted at it, then it hurts their negotiation with VZ and T as they would have shown their hand and had to agree to their terms to justify pps spike w shareholders. I think Amazon move w Apple is accelerating this for Google. I may have to double my position on Monday as I don’t see how IRDM isn’t part of googles plan here to provide sos and messaging in Android… and MNOs to sell to Android users.

$IRDM This is how the NTN plays out in revenue. IRDM said 2026 would see an increase in Enginnering and Support revenue. This is Google paying them for the Android needed updates. VZ and T (but VZ for sure) would pay IRDM likely on a per device contract. Not like Apple and GSAT… IRDM would benefit with growth. SOS only and assume VZ provides just .10 per device per month (standard for something like this)… that alone is $38M per year. Then SAT messaging, etc to match Apple… a user may pay $5 or $10 per month for that (not free like Apple) and IRDM would get $1.50 per month of that as an example. We begin to understand why the market reacted as they did Thursday. I can’t emphasize enough… nothing else exists now for Android (Google) to respond to Apple other than IRDM. Also SpaceX and TMobiles little offering sucks battery and has limited coverage for years… that is the closest thing. ASTS is a battery sucker, doesn’t exist yet and will be WiFi type bw only when it does.

$IRDM Ok, I had some time to do some digging on this one. I think “might” have found the smoking gun for Thursdays unusual action which many contributed to a sympathy move on Amazon/GSAT deal 2 days earlier. I think it may be this. On Thursday Sammy Fans (popular Samsung blog… like Macrumors for Apple) broke a story about Samsung using Google messages for the S26. In this article (and a couple others) they and other users began to see “satellite detection”. Since IRDM is the ONLY way for this to happen now (Amazon tied up until 2027 w GSAT closing, spaces not global). This means Google backbone, Verizon who said they would have sos after s25… this is likely ALL iridium who can do sos and messages to match Apple. They said they are in beta and 2nd half for NTN, but I am proposing that Samsung is releasing this in beta or limited… but this will break soon and I think the reason for Thursdays action.

$IRDM Taking into consideration they will pay down their debt and self fund their next gen of SATs in 2035, have significant growth factors on the horizon and increasing spectrum assets by the day - does anyone think 10x FCF is an accurate valuation? Hell no. It should probably be 25X (normal for a high growth stock w FCF) which is $11B area or 100 per share. I expect buybacks to begin again which will make this happen all the sooner. I’m in until $90.

$IRDM The hidden growth factor the average investor doesn’t see. IRDM stated growth is 2-3% per year… but over the last three years they have bought back 25M shares of 127M. Since IRDM uses OEBITA instead of EBITDA, I will also. SATs are paid for. Depreciation expense is paper and goes against stated profits. OEBITA is how much cash is coming into the company - which is the key measure of success. So let’s look at this return of cash on a per share basis, as that is what matters to us who own shares. What was the real growth over the last three years for shareholders? The invisible but realistic growth. 2023 $3.70 per share 2024 $ 3.92 2025 $4.59! *2026 $4.75 (but will it more?) This is a CAGR of 8.7% (annualized per year growth). This is the real growth. On top of this they are giving cash back to shareholders and have increased their distribution each year.

$IRDM Looking to start a position around $36.41-$33.25. Price was rejected at $41.25 and may pull back. RSI and MACD are at peak levels. If $33.25 holds as support, it could be a good entry. Safer to wait until after earnings on the 23rd.
