Who is involved: AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS), Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, Rosen Law Firm, Levi & Korsinsky, investors who purchased during the class period.
Likely next: Court will appoint lead plaintiff(s) after the November 13 deadline; a consolidated complaint will likely follow; the company will respond to the allegations.
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has filed a notice for investors who purchased AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) shares between March 4, 2025 and July 15, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status by November 13, 2026. This follows similar announcements from Rosen Law Firm and Levi & Korsinsky on September 30, 2026, all referencing the identical class period and deadline. The Levi & Korsinsky alert specifically alleges the company overstated its capital sufficiency while conducting three separate $1.0 billion convertible note offerings that allegedly diluted shareholders.
