Rocket Lab Winning The Space Race - High Growth Cadence Triggers Speculative Buy
RKLB
Published: March 20, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Rocket Lab Corporation proves their beneficiary status during a time of heightened space commercial/defense spending trends, as observed in the growing multi-year backlog of $1.85B (+73% YoY). Much of the tailwinds are attributed to the elevated congress defense spending for missile warning/tracking satellites/space and missile defense systems. While RKLB remains unprofitable, they already report improved gross/adj. EBITDA margins while financing their aggressive growth prospects through capital raises.

Nvidia Goes To Space, And Rocket Lab Goes To Work (Rating Downgrade)
NVDA, RKLB
Published: March 18, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Rocket Lab Corporation secured an $816M U.S. defense contract, doubling backlog to $1.85B by end-2025 and fueling a 10% stock surge. RKLB announced a $1B stock offering, triggering a sharp 8% reversal as investors digested dilution risk despite long-term capital needs for Neutron rocket development. Valuation is driven by Neutron's success; at 51.44x forward EV/Sales, RKLB offers high optionality if Neutron launches on schedule in Q4 '26.

Rocket Lab: Neutron Slips Again, Margins Peak But Backlog Saves The Day
RKLB
Published: March 04, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Rocket Lab (RKLB) beat Q4 and FY25 expectations but delayed the first launch of Neutron to Q4 2026 due to a tank rupture during testing. Management guides 37% of its $1.85B backlog to convert in the next 12 months. I think this could be too conservative and could surprise to the upside. I expect gross margins to decline, pressured by lower margin SDA contracts and Neutron's production ramp (likely) next year.

Rocket Lab: Impressive Results But Another Neutron Delay
RKLB
Published: February 27, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Rocket Lab Corporation delivered strong FY25 results with 38% revenue growth and expanding gross margins, despite ongoing net losses and heavy R&D investment. RKLB's space systems business, not the delayed Neutron rocket, is driving near-term revenue, with backlog surging 73% to $1.85 billion, anchored by defense contracts. Neutron's first launch is now pushed to 4Q26, with the recent tank rupture traced to a third-party manufacturing defect; the next tank is being built in-house to mitigate risk.
