AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Deutsche Bank upgraded AST SpaceMobile to Buy with an unchanged $93 target, citing spectrum value as a key near-term catalyst. The stock has fallen roughly 65% from its May peak, and the bank argues the spectrum moat now covers most of ASTS's enterprise value. SpaceX spectrum moves and potential D2D partnerships with major carriers add optionality to ASTS's upside.

Deutsche Bank upgrades ASTS to Buy; price target unchanged at $93.
Spectrum value now covers all but about $10 of ASTS EV.
SpaceX buys 14 MHz of 800 MHz spectrum; not a full MNO partnership.
T-Mobile may swap Starlink for ASTS in a D2D partnership amidst JV talks.
