RKLB Stock Recent News

Rocket Lab USA NASDAQ: RKLB has been one of the standout performers in the space and defense sector this year, steadily climbing higher on the back of strong fundamentals, growing institutional support, and a recent earnings report that appeared to impress Wall Street.

Aerospace and defense stock Rocket Lab Corp (RKLB) has been chopping lower since its July 17 record high of $53.44. The stock could be ready for a short-term pop, however, as the recent pullback has it flashing a historically bullish signal.

Rocket Lab delivered strong Q2 results, with 36% revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved cash flow, supporting my bullish long-term thesis. Both Electron launch cadence and Space Systems revenue are scaling up, with key contract wins and production milestones boosting confidence in future growth. Progress on the Neutron rocket is encouraging, though the first test launch may slip into 2026; commercial production preparations are already underway.

Rocket Lab (RKLB -8.94%) has made investors happy in the last few years. Since the start of 2023, the stock is up over 1,000%, turning a $10,000 investment into over $100,000, with most of these gains coming in the last few quarters.

LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $RKLB--Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced it is scheduled to launch its next dedicated mission on Electron this weekend. The mission is scheduled to lift off less than three weeks after Electron's previous mission and marks the Company's 70th Electron launch to date. Named “Live, Laugh, Launch,” the mission is scheduled for launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.

RKLB shares soar 74.4% in three months, driven by strong revenues, acquisitions and new contracts fueling growth momentum.

Space launch service provider Rocket Lab (RKLB 3.41%) posted its second-quarter results late last week. And once again, they were good.

RKLB's Electron rocket secures major contracts and expands its role as a dominant force in the fast-growing small satellite launch market.

Rocket Lab USA NASDAQ: RKLB is enjoying a surge of positive sentiment and continued momentum as it further captures Wall Street's attention and strengthens its position in the national security space sector.

Rocket Lab's strong Q2 results, rapid launch cadence, and strategic acquisitions reinforce my bullish stance and justify a Buy rating post Q2 2025. The company is capitalizing on macro tailwinds in the booming space economy, with robust government and commercial demand driving a $1B backlog. Despite a high P/S valuation, Rocket Lab's superior revenue growth and upcoming catalysts like the Geost acquisition and Neutron launch support further upside.
