The world of energy is changing. Electrification is in, and gas engines are on the way out.
Rocket Lab reported $122.6 million in Q1 2025 revenue, up 32% year-over-year, with non-GAAP gross margins at 33.4%. Backlog reached $1.067 billion, with 56% expected to convert to revenue within 12 months, ensuring near-term visibility. The Neutron rocket was selected for the $5.6 billion NSSL program, positioning Rocket Lab as a trusted U.S. defense partner.
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. stock crashed 11% post earnings on Friday due to softer guidance, making for a superb buy opportunity into this growth stock. Investors are missing the big picture and what Neutron will bring in 2H25, so what we're seeing is just panic selling. The Neutron rocket, cheaper and reusable, is a game-changer, competing with SpaceX's Falcon9 and securing major government contracts already.
However, zooming out, shares are up an impressive 465% over the past 12 months and remain firmly in an uptrend, trading above all major moving averages.
Up almost 400% since my previous bullish article published in June 2024, RKLB has handsomely rewarded investors who bet on the company's disruptive potential. The Q1 earnings print was decent, but it was evident that the company is forced to incur substantial capital expenditures as we inch closer to Neutron's test flight. An analysis of the global small payload launch services market reveals Rocket Lab is enjoying certain competitive advantages. The company is now expanding into new end markets and geographies.
Citizens analyst Trevor Walsh reiterated the Market Perform rating on Rocket Lab USA, Inc. RKLB on Friday.
Rocket Lab USA (RKLB -10.09%) topped expectations in the first quarter but provided a subdued outlook for the quarter to come. Investors were disappointed, sending Rocket Lab shares down 12% at the open and down 9% as of 11:30 a.m.
