Nov. 11, 2025 5:16 AM ET
Rocket Lab Corporation (RKLB) Stock
Summary
Rocket Lab delivered record Q3 revenue of $155.1 million, up 48% year-over-year, and beat EPS and revenue estimates, driving a 7% stock gain. RKLB’s growth is fueled by strong Electron launch demand, aggressive acquisitions, and expanding space systems, with improved margins and narrowing losses.
The Neutron rocket launch has been rescheduled to Q1 2026, reflecting prudent engineering; infrastructure and R&D milestones are progressing well. Despite a premium valuation, I maintain a Buy rating on RKLB, expecting continued momentum and upside as revenue accelerates and Neutron approaches launch.
Thesis
Since my previous coverage on Rocket Lab (RKLB), we’ve received several important updates on the company’s Q3 2025 earnings, including significant developments in their launch programs. The company also reported some impressive financial results that demonstrate strong operational progress.
Rocket Lab’s increased revenue growth and narrowing losses underscore its solid execution across multiple fronts, including the popular Electron launch vehicle and expanded space systems capabilities. The rescheduling of the Neutron rocket launch to Q1 2026 is a prudent move to ensure thorough engineering and testing, which should pay dividends in the long term.
Infrastructure and research & development milestones are on track, reflecting robust internal progress that supports Rocket Lab’s future growth potential.
