Rocket Lab: A Mini-SpaceX In The Making, But Execution Risks Remain
Rocket Lab is actively expanding its activities, developing sales of space components, creating satellite platforms, and providing orbital support services to cover the entire cycle "from rocket to satellite".

Rocket Lab: Why I'd Wait For A Better Price
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. is a promising venture, but the current high valuation poses risks; recommend holding until stock price drops to $16-17/share.

Why I'm Cautious On Rocket Lab Despite Its Strong Growth Story
Rocket Lab's Q3 2024 revenue grew 55% YoY, but the current price of $28.30 appears unsustainable given mounting losses. My valuation analysis suggests a fair value range of $16.20-$18.80, indicating a 62% premium to midpoint value. While gross margins improved to 26.7%, widening operating losses of $51.9M raise concerns.
Rocket Lab: Why I Would Buy More Now
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. stock has more than doubled since my early November 2024 bullish call, outperforming the broader market's modest gains. RKLB's strong financial performance, particularly in Space Systems, and promising future projects like Neutron, support my bullish long-term outlook. Despite increased operating expenses, the top line growth justifies the costs, with expectations of breaking even by FY 2026 and significant future profitability.
