Is Apple's $1.5B Satellite Deal the Future?In the rapidly evolving world of satellite communications, a transformative partnership has emerged between tech giant Apple and satellite operator Globalstar. This landmark $1.5 billion agreement has the potential to reshape the way we connect in remote and underserved regions, inspiring questions about the future of global connectivity.
At the heart of this deal lies Globalstar's commitment to develop and operate a state-of-the-art mobile satellite services (MSS) network. Backed by Apple's substantial infrastructure prepayment of up to $1.1 billion and a $400 million equity investment, Globalstar is poised to enhance the reliability and coverage of emergency satellite communications for iPhone users worldwide. This strategic alliance not only demonstrates Apple's long-term vision for satellite-based connectivity but also positions Globalstar as a dominant player in an industry that is expected to witness a surge in activity in the coming decade.
As the satellite communications sector braces for the launch of an estimated 50,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit, this Globalstar-Apple partnership stands out as a game-changer. By dedicating up to 85% of its network capacity to Apple, Globalstar is solidifying its role as a critical infrastructure provider, catering to the growing demand for seamless connectivity in remote and underserved regions. This move, coupled with Globalstar's plans to expand its satellite constellation and ground infrastructure, suggests a future where satellite-based services become increasingly integrated into our everyday lives.
The financial implications of this deal are equally compelling. Globalstar projects that its annual revenue will more than double in the year following the launch of the expanded satellite services, marking a significant improvement from its recent financial performance. Furthermore, the company's ability to retire its outstanding senior notes and secure favorable adjustments to its funding agreement highlights the transformative nature of this partnership, positioning Globalstar for long-term growth and stability in the evolving satellite communications landscape.
GSAT
GSATGlobalstar (NYSEAMERICAN:GSAT) The $2.42 area is a critical resistance region that can determine overall bias for the stock in the short-term. Bulls are now attacking the 2.25 price level, a break above could trigger a rally towards 2.42 resistance again. Keep an eye on these levels. Love the look of this hourly chart.

I am not your financial advisor. Watch my setups first before you jump in… My trade set ups work very well and they are for my personal reference and if you decide to trade them you do so at your own risk. I will gladly answer questions to the best of my knowledge but ultimately the risk is on you. I will update targets as needed.
GL and happy trading.
SMALLCAP - SPACE/5G - FUNDAMENTAL/TECHNICAL - GSATFA:
- Very bullish on space/5G sector, believe it is one of the next big macro trends, also long on GILT, NOK, and others... more analyses to come on this sector.
- Collaborations with Nokia and QCOM... The hype isn't in this sector yet, but ARK is marking ARKX and IZRL for a reason... get in before the FOMO, the sector will see a boom cycle soon.
- High Shares Float is risk.
- Blackrock, Goldman, and RenTec especially have positions and are increasing their ownership substantially.
TA:
- I see wave 3 of impulse wave, good to catch the wave 5... extension is likely as this trend catches on.
QA:
- Bullish options flow.
- Citadel has some options on this, dont be greedy with this high float.

Break out to all time highs Gsat has been more boring to watch than watching paint dry these last few weeks. With such a choppy market its no surprise this stock has taken a beating. However, we are in a downward channel approaching a potential break out in the next few days. GSAT 50 day moving average is still much higher than the 200 day moving average which is a bullish sign. Although we are trading at about the 100 day moving average I believe there are some big moves to be made with this company. We are beginning to see a shift in the mac d as well from bearish to a turning point which could give us enough momentum to break out of this wedge . The last few days GSAT has held Fib retracement of about $1.70 very well. RSI on the daily is 51 so we are still bullish but signals to us we are in the make or break zone. GSAT will either run to reach new ATH or perhaps dive back to Fib retracement of $1. 40 . This is a great company with a lot of big money moving in and huge interest in call options. Me personally am holding 2.5 April 16th call option for an average price of 0.20. Perhaps it could be good to start with a small position and scale up if we break out bullish or exit if we break out bearish .
