Burry Sees AI Bubble Bursting Sooner, Shifts to Put Options

On Thursday, SpaceX SPCX.O announced it had reached an agreement (link) to acquire a portfolio of low-frequency band spectrum licenses across the United States, which will enable Starlink Mobile to become a major telecommunications operator in the US. Following this news, shares of European telecom service providers fell by 3% to 7%. Deutsche Telekom DTEGn.DE, which holds a 54% stake in T-Mobile US TMUS.O, saw its share price drop by 7%, set for its biggest single-day loss since June 2023. “Deutsche Telekom is negatively impacted as competition in the US market intensifies,” according to a local trader. This acquisition could potentially allow SpaceX to provide direct mobile communication services to smartphones from space in the future. Scotiabank pointed out, “SpaceX’s acquisition of spectrum in the US today makes the threat of hybrid networks more realistic, though network capacity and deployment economics in dense markets have yet to be validated.” Spanish operator Telefonica TEF.MC, France's Orange SA ORAN.PA, and UK’s Vodafone VOD.L all declined by about 3%. The European STOXX 600 telecom index .SXKP dropped 2.8%. (For the convenience of non-English speakers, Reuters automatically translates its reports into several other languages.
