Globalstar (GSAT)jumped over 50% to close at $2.35 yesterday due to speculation that Apple (AAPL) may announce its iPhone 13 with satellite communication feature. Profit taking hit GSAT today and it's down 20% to $1.86 at one point and this is understandable after a big move and it was very overbought yesterday. Social media sentiment is high for GSAT and there's a lot of searches on it in Twitter. This is important because social media is a strong force that has been driving many stock moves. Technically, $1.8 is a solid support and stock will run again if it recovers above $2. $3 is a reasonable target near term and may be higher. With the lure of September 14 iPhone 13 announcement, GSAT may not be down for too long. I think it is an excellent speculative play and is worth it for risk takers.

According to a note by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that AppleInsider quoted, the Qualcomm (QCOM) X60 baseband chip that Apple is likely to use in the iPhone 13 will support low-earth orbit satellite communications. Kuo is an analyst at TF International Securities, a financial services group in the Asia-Pacific region. He is respected for his insights on Apple and the likely changes in the company's product line-up. He gathers intelligence from the numerous Apple suppliers and vendors. ---yahoo finance
Apple's newest iPhones, due out in September, will support satellite communications, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. A customized baseband chip made by Qualcomm (QCOM) would allow iPhone users to make calls and send messages without the need to tap into cellular networks. Globalstar, thanks in part to its existing partnership with Qualcomm, is the logical satellite provider for Apple, according to Kuo. Globalstar announced in February that its Band n53 technology would be included in Qualcomm's flagship 5G modem. "There are many potential scenarios for Apple's business model cooperation with Globalstar," Kuo said. "The simplest scenario is that if the user's operator has already teamed with Globalstar, the user can directly use Globalstar's satellite communication service on the iPhone 13 through the operator's service."- --Fool.com
由于有猜测 Apple (AAPL) 可能会发布具有卫星通信功能的 iPhone 13,Globalstar (GSAT) 昨日上涨近 50%,收于 2.12 美元。今天的获利回吐打击了 GSAT,曾下跌了近 20% 至 1.89 美元,在大幅上升后这种情况是可以理解的,而且昨天已是非常超买。 GSAT 的社交媒体情绪很高,在 Twitter 上有很多搜索。这很重要,因为社交媒体是推动股票走势的强大力量。从技术上讲,1.8 美元是一个坚实的支撑,如果股价回升至 2 美元以上,它将再次上升。 3 美元是近期的合理目标或会更高。在 9 月 14 日发布 iPhone 13 的诱惑下,GSAT 可能不会下跌太久。我认为这是一个出色的投机股,值得肯冒险者参与。

天风国际证券分析师郭明錤表示,苹果最新款 iPhone 将于 9 月推出,将支持卫星通信。高通公司 (QCOM) 制造的定制基带芯片将使 iPhone 用户无需接入蜂窝网络即可拨打电话和发送消息。 郭明錤 表示,Globalstar 是 Apple 合乎逻辑的卫星供应商,部分归功于其与高通公司的现有合作伙伴关系。 Globalstar 在 2 月份宣布其 Band n53 技术将包含在高通公司的旗舰 5G 调制解调器中。 “苹果与Globalstar的商业模式合作有很多潜在的场景,”郭说。 “最简单的场景是,如果用户的运营商已经Globalstar合作,用户可以通过运营商的服务,直接在iPhone 13上使用环球之星的卫星通信服务。”---Fool.com
