AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Monday. The company disclosed a definitive long-term commercial agreement with Vodafone Group Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOD#NASDAQ">VOD</a>) through 2034.
This partnership marks a significant advancement in their efforts to expand <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42386929/ast-spacemobile-announces-definitive-commercial-agreement-with-vodafone-through-2034" rel="noreferrer noopener">global broadband connectivity.</a>
The agreement establishes a framework for Vodafone to provide space-based cellular broadband connectivity in its home markets and to other operators through its Partner Markets program.
Since 2018, Vodafone has been a key investor and technology partner in AST SpaceMobile, contributing to major breakthroughs in direct-to-device 2G, 4G, and 5G connectivity.
Vodafone has now ordered its first Block 1 BlueBird gateway, advancing the deployment of AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s global network.
This gateway will enable users outside traditional coverage areas to connect directly to AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s satellites, routing data through Vodafone's network for broadband access.
The next-generation Block 2 BlueBird satellites, with communications arrays up to 2,400 square feet, will offer up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of current BlueBird satellites.
This will enable peak data transmission speeds of up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data, and video applications.
Last week, AST SpaceMobile collaborated with Cadence Design Systems to develop the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42295964/space-based-internet-gets-a-boost-ast-spacemobile-and-cadence-collaborate-on-high-bandwidth-satellite-chip" rel="noreferrer noopener">AST5000 ASIC for its BlueBird satellite program</a>.
Last month, AST SpaceMobile&nbsp;reported&nbsp;third-quarter revenue of $1.1 million and an adjusted loss of $1.10 per share, missing&nbsp;analyst estimates<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/41994523/ast-spacemobile-misses-q3-earnings-expectations-announces-new-launch-service-agreements" rel="noreferrer noopener"> for a loss of 20 cents per share</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the ASTS via&nbsp;Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFO#NASDAQ">UFO</a>).
Price Action: ASTS shares are up 9.52% at $27.73 premarket at the last check Monday.

Vodafone, Google Expand Partnership With Billion+ Dollar Deal: Details

Vodafone and Three's response to the CMA's Notice of Possible Remedies (Remedies Notice) has been published today.
Vodafone and Three disagree with the CMA's Provisional Findings. Our merger will be pro-growth, pro-customer, pro-investment and pro-competitive for the UK. It is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform UK digital infrastructure with £11 billion of network investment.
We continue to constructively engage with the CMA and remain confident that we can work with them to secure approval. Our response to the Remedies Notice contains several additional commitments, which we believe comprehensively address the issues they have raised.

As Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) head for a potential Death Cross on their stock charts, a fierce competition between the two tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40904071/intel-stock-rises-on-multibillion-dollar-aws-deal-u-s-chip-grant-boost-what-do-anal">giants rages on</a>.
Both companies are not only navigating stock market signals but also making significant strides in AI, shareholder returns, and strategic investments. Let's break down how they stack up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Microsoft: AI Powerhouse, Shareholder Darling</h2>
Microsoft's stock might be teasing a death cross—a bearish technical indicator—but Wall Street analysts are anything but bearish. KeyBanc Capital Markets has maintained its Overweight rating on Microsoft with a sky-high price target of $490. This confidence is driven by Microsoft's explosive growth in AI, with a 60% quarter-over-quarter increase in Copilot AI customers and a big deployment with Vodafone (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOD#NASDAQ">VOD</a>).
Beyond AI, Microsoft is showing serious love to its shareholders. The tech titan announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40899780/microsoft-stock-is-moving-higher-tuesday-whats-going-on">10% dividend hike</a>, raising the payout to $0.83 per share, and introduced a new $60 billion share repurchase program. This comes as the previous $60 billion buyback program from 2021 wraps up. 
Microsoft's mix of strategic buybacks and increased dividends suggests it's on a mission to keep shareholders hooked while riding the AI wave.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: Leaner, Meaner, AI-Driven</h2>
Amazon, meanwhile, is in the midst of a major transformation. BofA Securities analyst Justin Post has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40904754/amazons-leaner-structure-and-ai-chip-partnership-with-intel-could-boost-growth-bofa">reiterated his Buy rating</a> on Amazon with a $210 price target, betting on CEO Andy Jassy's vision for a slimmer, more efficient company.
By the end of first quarter of 2025, Amazon is expected to save $700 million annually through streamlining its workforce, reducing management layers, and enforcing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40887347/amazon-to-cut-management-layers-end-work-from-home">return-to-office mandate.</a>
But the real ace up Amazon's sleeve is AWS (Amazon Web Services). Amazon's multi-billion-dollar co-investment with Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in custom AI chips is set to give AWS a competitive edge in the ever-expanding AI landscape. 
With the AI arms race heating up, Amazon's bet on Intel's cutting-edge 18A chips positions AWS to tap into broad-based AI demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Technical Showdown: Death Cross Ahead?</h2>
While both Microsoft and Amazon stock are experiencing slight buying pressure and bullish momentum, the looming death cross—the point where the 50-day moving average dips below the 200-day moving average—casts a shadow over their technical outlooks.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent091824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="623" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150646/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.16-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-552560" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150646/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.16-PM.png 623w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150646/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.16-PM-300x219.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px" /></a></figure>

For Microsoft stock, the price remains above key moving averages, with its 50-day SMA at $423.17. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent091824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="623" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-552561" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM.png 623w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/17150659/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-11.52.34-PM-300x219.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px" /></a></figure>

Similarly, Amazon stock&#8217;s price is above its key averages. 
Although these signals typically point to strength, the impending death cross hints at potential turbulence ahead for both.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Winning?</h2>
In the AI arena, both companies are playing to their strengths: Microsoft with its rapidly expanding Copilot initiative and Amazon with its AWS dominance. 
However, Microsoft's aggressive shareholder-focused moves, including the buyback and dividend boost, may give it the edge for now.
