Rocket Lab builds and launches rockets (Electron, upcoming Neutron) plus satellites and spacecraft components for commercial and government customers—think FedEx for space payloads, but also a parts shop and satellite builder.
Revenue is growing (USD 0.60B in 2025 vs USD 0.24B in 2023) but the company is unprofitable, with net losses around USD 0.20B annually. Gross margin improved to ~36% in 2025, yet operating losses persist, so no segment is currently paying the bills.
Rocket Lab's vertical integration (launch, spacecraft, components) and proven Electron reliability create a niche that startups like Astra or Firefly Aerospace struggle to match. However, SpaceX's reusable Falcon 9 and Starlink scale pressure pricing and launc

$RKLB upside really starts when Neutron works because that’s what turns Rocket Lab into a much larger end-to-end space platform. Piper Sandler models Neutron scaling from zero launches today to 11 annually by 2030 helping drive revenue to ~$2.5B with 31% EBITDA margins which show
$RKLB Sector is generally out of play. This one with a 50D rejection. Small gap below then maybe a double bottom? Something to watch anyway https://schrts.co/daPEEqNw
Space stocks are starting to split into two very different camps. $RKLB and $ASTS are the leaders, but already pricing in years of execution. $RDW, $VOYG and $LUNR have discounted growth and cheaper valuations. Are the Leaders premiums justified, or are the cheaper names the bett
We expect $RKLB to evolve quite significantly from now through 2030. Electron will continue to be an anchor, however Neutron, space systems, and connectivity will increasingly become a meaningful portion of revenues and income. https://t.co/3m3A2OXKi6
$RKLB is rejecting from the $95.55 resistance band and pulling back into the rising trendline, with this week’s candle closing at $72.57 after testing $71.45. Key support sits at $59.15, and holding this structure keeps the bullish trend intact, while a reclaim of $95.55 would op
The US is literally telling you its investment watchlist: -> American Mining ($400M into $SRL / $SREMF that I called back in March). -> Space Transportation: - $SPCX - $RKLB - $ASTS - $FEIM (smaller cap, slightly higher risk play) -> Drones: - $AVAV - $UMAC - $ONDS -> Polysilicon
