The SpaceX IPO Put a Spotlight on Starlink — and on the One Public Company Building a Rival Direct-to-Phone Network

PR Newswire

Editorial Commentary — Commercial Space Series

SpaceX

s public listing cast Starlink Mobile as a future wireless challenger. AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is the most prominent publicly traded company pursuing the same direct-to-device satellite-broadband market.

Key Takeaways

  • The SpaceX IPO prospectus framed Starlink Mobile as a direct-to-smartphone service intended to compete with terrestrial mobile networks — spotlighting a market that public investors cannot access through SpaceX alone.
  • AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is the most prominent listed company building a direct-to-device satellite-broadband network, connecting ordinary, unmodified smartphones from space.
  • AST has reported securing over US$1.2 billion in aggregate contracted revenue commitments from partners, and is targeting 45 to 60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026.
  • Other listed satellite-connectivity names include Globalstar (NASDAQ: GSAT) and Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT) — each distinct, and neither a proxy for the other.

The IPO That Made Satellite-to-Phone a Headline

VANCOUVER, BC, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Equity Insider Market Commentary, When Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) filed to go public on the Nasdaq under the proposed ticker SPCX, the prospectus did more than reveal the financials of the world’s most valuable private company. It laid out, in detail, how SpaceX intends to turn its Starlink constellation into a wireless competitor — casting Starlink Mobile as a direct-to-smartphone service designed to perform “on par with terrestrial mobile networks,” with next-generation satellites slated to expand the offering beyond messaging toward full broadband and IoT connectivity.

Equity Insider

That framing turned a once-niche idea — connecting an ordinary phone directly to a satellite, with no special hardware — into a front-page investment theme. But there is a catch for public investors: SpaceX’s satellite-to-phone business is bundled inside an enormous company spanning launch, Starlink broadband, and an artificial-intelligence unit. For those seeking a focused, public-market way to play the direct-to-device race specifically, the most prominent name is not SpaceX at all. It is AST SpaceMobile.

AST SpaceMobile: The Public Pure-Play on Phones-From-Space

AST SpaceMobile (Nasdaq: ASTS), based in Midland, Texas, is building what it calls a space-based cellular broadband network designed to connect everyday, unmodified smartphones directly to its satellites — aiming to eliminate mobile “dead zones” worldwide. Where Starlink began as a fixed-broadband service using dedicated terminals, AST’s entire thesis is the direct-to-device market that SpaceX’s IPO filing has now thrust into the spotlight. That makes the two natural — if vastly differently sized — competitors in the same emerging category.

The company has been building both its constellation and its commercial foundation. AST reported full-year 2025 revenue of about US$70.9 million, driven by mobile-network-operator partners and the U.S. government, and said it had secured over US$1.2 billion in aggregate contracted revenue commitments from partners — a figure that speaks to the scale of carrier interest. It has also reported completing the in-orbit unfolding of BlueBird 6, which it described as the largest commercial communications array ever deployed in low Earth orbit, and has laid out a launch cadence intended to reach 45 to 60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026.

The risk profile is equally clear, and worth stating plainly: AST is a capital-intensive, still-largely-pre-revenue business whose value depends on executing a demanding manufacturing-and-launch campaign on schedule. A successful deployment validates the model; a stumble in cadence or array deployment would do the opposite. This is a build-it-first business, and the build is far from finished.

How AST and SpaceX Actually Differ

It would be a mistake to treat AST as a miniature Starlink. The two take different technical and commercial approaches: AST partners with terrestrial mobile-network operators to extend their existing networks from space, positioning itself as a complement that carriers integrate, rather than a stand-alone consumer ISP. SpaceX, by contrast, has the advantage of owning its own launch vehicles — it flies Starlink satellites on its own Falcon 9 and Starship rockets — plus enormous scale and a head start in subscribers. AST’s counter is focus and carrier alignment: it is building specifically for the direct-to-device use case in partnership with the incumbents whose customers it would serve. Which model wins, or whether both coexist, is exactly the open question the SpaceX IPO has made unavoidable. Tracking how this sector is being repriced in real time? Join the free Orbital Economy Signal Brief to follow the shifts as they happen.

The Wider Satellite-Connectivity Field

Beyond AST, a couple of listed satellite-connectivity companies help frame the landscape — each with a distinct model and risk profile, and neither a proxy for the other. Globalstar (Nasdaq: GSAT) provides mobile satellite services and wholesale capacity, reporting first-quarter 2026 revenue of about US$70.1 million, up 17% year-over-year, and has been a long-running infrastructure partner in the satellite-to-phone space. Viasat (Nasdaq: VSAT) anchors the broadband-and-connectivity end as a diversified satellite-communications operator serving aviation, government, and consumer markets. Together with AST, these names show that “satellite connectivity” spans several business models — wholesale capacity and diversified broadband — all being re-rated as the direct-to-device opportunity SpaceX highlighted draws fresh capital and attention. Each, however, will live or die on its own constellation, balance sheet, and execution.

A Note on the Broader Space Trade

One smaller name investors scanning the sector may note is Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), mentioned here for context only and not as a recommendation. The company has publicly described operating what it calls the world’s only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic F-104 aircraft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and in May 2026 it announced a US$17.5 million strategic equity investment led by institutional investors, with proceeds earmarked to support operational expansion and continued advancement of its STARLAUNCH platform. These are the company’s own announced figures; readers should verify them in its filings.

The Bottom Line

The SpaceX IPO did more than reveal Starlink’s economics — it confirmed that connecting ordinary phones directly to satellites is a market the most sophisticated player in space intends to pursue aggressively. For public investors, that validation lands not on SpaceX’s sprawling franchise but on the focused names building in the same direction. AST SpaceMobile is the most prominent of them, with carrier commitments and an ambitious deployment plan — and the considerable execution risk that comes with building a constellation from scratch. The question the IPO sharpened is no longer whether satellite-to-phone is real, but who builds the winning network. The answer will come from orbit, on a schedule, over the next several years.

Waton Financial Launches MoTA Alpha, Marking Full Strategic Pivot to AI-Native Finance

PR Newswire

HONG KONG, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Waton Financial Limited (NASDAQ: WTF) today announced the release of MoTA Alpha, a major upgrade to its flagship AI-powered investment platform. First unveiled in closed beta in May 2026, MoTA (Manager of Trading Agents) now introduces the Agent Talents Market, a creator ecosystem for third-party AI trading agents, alongside a redesigned multi-agent collaboration workflow and a fully overhauled user experience. The Alpha release represents more than a product milestone — it signals Waton’s decisive transition from a securities brokerage and SaaS provider into an AI-native financial technology company.

MoTA Alpha: What’s New

MoTA Alpha builds on the beta’s foundation as an AI-native investment team workbench — a platform that enables professional investors and portfolio managers to assemble, manage, and supervise teams of specialized AI agents across research, analysis, risk, and execution functions within a structured, auditable workflow, with mandatory human review and final sign-off at every stage.

Three headline upgrades define this release:

  1. Agent Talents Market
    An open marketplace where third-party developers can create, publish, and rank AI trading agents. Users subscribe to or deploy agents built by independent creators, with all agents running on Waton’s infrastructure. Agent’s internal logic remains under creator control; Waton provides the platform layer and execution environment.

  2. Enhanced Multi-Agent Collaboration
    A rebuilt task orchestration layer that improves inter-agent communication, role assignment, and decision audit trails. The result is a workflow that mirrors the dynamics of a real investment team — each agent operates within its mandate, escalates to human supervisors where required, and maintains a complete, reviewable log.

  3. Redesigned Interface
    A significantly improved user experience that preserves MoTA’s distinctive 8-bit pixel-art visual identity — a deliberate departure from the blue-and-white minimalism that dominates fintech — while increasing information density and operational speed for professional workflows.

The Strategic Pivot

MoTA Alpha represents the clearest demonstration yet of Waton’s evolution from a financial infrastructure provider into an AI-native product company.

Since its NASDAQ listing in April 2025, Waton has positioned itself as the world’s first publicly traded AI agent holding company. Yet its revenue base has remained rooted in traditional securities brokerage and Broker Cloud SaaS solutions serving institutional clients in Hong Kong. MoTA Alpha changes that equation: AI is no longer a narrative layer on top of an existing brokerage business — it is now a tangible, independently monetizable product line.

The company is structuring itself around a “brokerage infrastructure + AI application” dual-engine model. This is a meaningfully different profile from either pure-play online brokers or conventional fintech SaaS firms, positioning Waton closer to the emerging category of AI-native financial platforms.

Financial Foundation

According to Waton’s unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (six months ended September 30, 2025), total revenues rose 106.3% year-on-year to $6.10 million, driven by a 223.1% increase in brokerage and commission income to $4.17 million. Cash and segregated cash stood at $29.88 million, with total assets of $68.98 million.

Notably, the company reported research and development expenses as a standalone line item for the first time ($0.39 million in H1 FY2026), alongside significant share-based compensation tied to AI product development. MoTA Alpha is the first scaled output of this R&D pipeline.

Management Commentary

“The Alpha release of MoTA marks Waton’s evolution from a financial technology services provider to an AI-era infrastructure and product company,” said Zhou Kai (Tony Zhou), Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Waton Financial. “We are not building a chatbot for trading. We are building a platform where professional investors manage teams of AI agents — each with defined roles, clear accountability, and human oversight. The Agent Talents Market extends this further: MoTA transitions from a product into an ecosystem.”

Roadmap

Following the Alpha release, Waton expects to open MoTA to public beta testing in Q3 2026. The platform currently supports Hong Kong and U.S. equity markets, with digital asset coverage on the product roadmap. MoTA is available as a standalone application at m.mota.ai and integrates with Waton’s existing brokerage and TradingWTF infrastructure.

For investors tracking $WTF, MoTA Alpha serves as the first real test of whether the “AI agent holding company” thesis translates from corporate positioning into a durable commercial model.

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

Rosen Law Firm Logo

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI) between October 14, 2025 and April 14, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Veritone securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Veritone class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/veritone-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 20, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Veritone inaccurately recorded and/or misclassified certain revenue and costs; (2) as a result, Veritone overstated its revenue, assets, accounts receivable, royalties and other comprehensive income; (3) Veritone maintained deficient internal controls over accounting and financial reporting; (4) as a result of the foregoing, Veritone would be forced to restate certain of its financial statements; and (5) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about Veritone’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Veritone class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/veritone-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

(NASDAQ: DCOY) (the “Company” or “Decoy”), a biotechnology company pioneering Designable Multi-Antivirals (D-MAVs™), a new category of antivirals engineered to target shared viral mechanisms conserved across virus families, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare focused institutional investor for a private investment in public equity financing (the “PIPE”), which is expected to provide approximately $3.5 million in gross proceeds at closing, before deducting placement agent’s fees and other financing expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to advance its lead asset into clinical trials.

The PIPE consists of (i) $3.5 million of upfront gross proceeds at a purchase price of $5.91 per share from the sale of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), (ii) a milestone-based Series A warrant with potential additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million if fully exercised following both shareholder approval and the date of filing by the Company of a Clinical Trial Application with the applicable competent regulatory authority in the European Economic Area to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial, (iii) a milestone-based Series B warrant with potential additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.0 million if fully exercised following both shareholder approval and the Company’s receipt of formal written approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to conduct a Phase 2a human challenge trial in the United Kingdom, and (iv) a milestone-based Series C warrant with potential additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.0 million if fully exercised following both shareholder approval and the Company’s public announcement of data from the Company’s positive Phase 2a human challenge trial conducted in the United Kingdom. The PIPE was priced “at-the-market” under the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, with each warrant having an exercise price equal to the deal price. The securities to be issued in the PIPE will be subject to applicable restrictions on transfer. The terms of the PIPE were determined through negotiations between the Company and the investors, based on the closing share price on the determination date.

The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about June 29, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Curvature Securities LLC is acting as the sole placement agent in connection with the PIPE.

The offer and sale of the foregoing securities is being made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws, and the securities have not been and will not initially be registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into with the investor, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued or underlying pre-funded or common warrants issued to the institutional investor no later than 15 calendar days after the closing of the offering and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 90 days following the closing of the offering in the event of a “full review” by the SEC.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
