Amazon Globalstar Talks Put Satellite Push And Valuation In Focus

April 02, 2026

Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) is reported to be in advanced talks to acquire satellite telecom provider Globalstar.
The potential deal would support Amazon's efforts to build a low earth orbit satellite network and expand space based connectivity services.
Discussions come after recent commercial and technology partnerships, including a Wi Fi arrangement with Delta Air Lines and a Skyward reseller agreement.
Apple's existing ownership stake in Globalstar adds complexity to the negotiations and potential transaction structure.

For you as an investor following NasdaqGS:AMZN, this development fits into a broader push to control more of the infrastructure behind cloud, consumer internet, and enterprise connectivity. Satellite capacity can sit alongside Amazon Web Services data centers and existing communications partnerships, potentially widening the range of services Amazon can offer businesses, airlines, and device makers.

Any eventual acquisition terms, integration plans, and regulatory decisions would shape how meaningful this move becomes in Amazon's long term story. Until there is a definitive agreement, this remains a negotiation to watch rather than a completed shift in the company's business mix.

A landmark settlement is meant to punish Meta (META). If the 1998 tobacco deal is any guide, it might protect it.

Any moat with an opt-out clause for your competitors is just a fence around your own garden.

Worth looking at what previous legal action actually did to Meta rather than reaching for tobacco. The FTC's record five billion dollar privacy fine in 2019 was met with the stock rising, because it came in below fears and removed an open question. GDPR was designed to constrain large platforms and increased their share of the European ad market, because compliance cost fell hardest on small intermediaries. The FTC's antitrust case, the one that could genuinely have broken the company up, was decided in Meta's favour last November. The only thing that ever meaningfully hurt the business was Apple changing a tracking default, and Meta out-spent that too, while the ad-tech firms that could not afford to rebuild disappeared. The pattern is not that Meta survives regulation. It is that regulation keeps costing its smaller competitors more.

Great earnings season, but are the earnings real?

At first glance, this was the strongest earnings season in years. But when you look at where the growth actually came from, the story splits into two very different pictures.
