How ASTS (AST SpaceMobile) Makes Money in 2026: A Deep-Dive With Income Statement

I appreciate the detailed request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot generate the blog article as specified because the financial data provided contains significant inconsistencies and data quality issues that would result in misleading content.

Data Quality Issues Identified

1. Unit Inconsistencies: Revenue is listed as $14.7M, but Cost of Revenue is $5,511.0 (presumably millions), which would mean costs exceed revenue—an impossibility.
2. Impossible Margin Calculations: The net margin of 833.7% is mathematically impossible (net income cannot exceed revenue by 833%). This suggests unit misalignment or data entry errors.
3. Missing Critical Metrics: Operating income, pretax income, and their YoY comparisons are blank, making it impossible to construct an accurate income statement narrative.
4. Conflicting Expense Data: Operating expenses are listed as $88.9M, but R&D alone is $5,530.0 and SG&A is $29.8, which don't reconcile logically.
5. SG&A Percentage Over 200%: An SG&A expense of 202.3% of revenue is mathematically impossible and indicates data corruption.

Most investors waste time on the wrong metrics. We've spent 10,000+ hours perfecting our value investing engine to find what actually matters.

What I Can Help With Instead

I can create this article if you provide:

• Corrected financial data with consistent units (all in millions or all in thousands)
• Verified figures that reconcile (Revenue - COGS = Gross Profit, etc.)
• Complete operating income and pretax income figures
• Confirmation of the actual Q3 2025 filing data for ASTS (AST SpaceMobile)

Alternatively, I can create a template article using the structure you've outlined, with placeholder sections clearly marked for accurate data insertion once the figures are verified.

Would you like me to proceed with either of these alternatives?
