Broadband
$ASTS - Generational Technology Leap - Primed for a BOOMNASDAQ:ASTS AST SpaceMobile Technology is one of the most interesting companies in the tech space right now. It will provide a generational leap in technology for direct to device sat com to unmodified devices. This means broadband connectivity anywhere without gaps. They are supposed to launch their first 5 revenue generating satellites in Q2 24. They are also generating revenues off of their BW3 test satellite that is already in space and has provided full proof of concept. They are partnered with major players such as NASDAQ:GOOG , NYSE:T , and $VOD. There is no true competitor to its technology. This is my own opinion after research. Please do not take this as financial advice. Make your own decisions and own them.
Comcast long after earningsNASDAQ:CMCSA had earnings yesterday and the stock opened and spiked below the October low. It quickly recapture the range setting up a good spike opportunity. I like taking these sort of setups because earnings is a good catalyst to move a stock (in either direction) and also removes that unknown volatility factor that could disrupt an otherwise good trade.
NASDAQ:CMCSA is a long term portfolio hold for me so this position is a trade and an addition on a pullback for the stock. I use Comcast and they are continuing to dominate the broadband space. I also have it in a basket strategy with other broadband related stocks such as NASDAQ:HLIT , NASDAQ:COMM , and NASDAQ:CSCO .
VZ $65 PT printing ascending channel Verizon is well-positioned for the increasing consumer demand for better networks and services as the company continues implementing its 5G technology, which could be a catalyst putting the company back on the growth path.5G subscriptions are expected to reach 3 billion subscriptions worldwide by 2025. Moreover, the fifth-generation connectivity is expected to drive the market growth of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). Internet connectivity is expected to show a fast speed with very low latency.A recent study expects explosive growth in 5G wireless subscriptions in the U.S. over the coming years. The study reads The number of US 5G mobile service subscriptions will increase 161.4% to 41.3 million in 2021, with growth expected to continue at tremendous rates for several years. Great time to get in technically as the VZ is in a clear ascending triangle within a larger ascending channel which has been in play for over a year. Given we are at the lower range of this channel I believe its a great time to pick up some VZ which has proven to be a safe stock that does well in times of uncertainty relative to the market as a whole, and can help bring your portfolio's beta or volatility down.
