Rocket Lab's Path To Profitability: Why I'm Still Bullish After Q1 Triumph
RKLB
Published: May 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Rocket Lab remains a top growth pick, with strong Q1 results, robust launch demand, and a growing backlog supporting my continued 'Buy' rating. The company's expanding Space Systems segment, Mynric acquisition, and Neutron rocket developments position it for major long-term growth in the space logistics market. Financially, Rocket Lab is well-capitalized with $517M in cash, improving margins, and a clear path to EBITDA breakeven if execution continues.

Rockets Return To Earth, But Rocket Lab Likely Won't Return To Under $20
RKLB
Published: May 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I have to reiterate my Buy rating on Rocket Lab USA, Inc. stock, as the upcoming Neutron launch and potential $5.6B NSSL contract are major catalysts. Q1 2025 revenue beat guidance, but EPS missed; I see the recent RKLB stock dip as a buying opportunity and expect strong support above $20. Successful return-to-Earth missions are a huge game-changer that will expand Rocket Lab's customer base, opening new revenue streams beyond traditional satellite launches.

Sentiment: Neutral

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.

Rocket Lab: Still A Buy Despite High Valuation
RKLB
Published: May 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Rocket Lab's Q1 results showed a revenue increase of 32.1% year-over-year but a sequential decline. Long-term growth remains promising with Neutron rocket developments and new contracts. Despite current losses due to Neutron investments, Q2 revenue is expected to grow 6-14% sequentially, driven by improved ASP and Space Systems output. The NSSL Phase 3 contract and Mynaric acquisition bolster Rocket Lab's position in defense and commercial markets, enhancing its end-to-end space service capabilities.

Last month, I climbed out on a limb to ask (and answer) the question: Where will Rocket Lab USA (RKLB -2.70%) stock be in five years?
