Rocket Lab USA (RKLB-Q) has experienced a fluctuating financial performance with recent earnings reports indicating minor losses, yet exceeding analyst expectations in both profit and revenue across the latest quarters. Following a setback in the space industry due to a rocket explosion linked to Jeff Bezos, many investors are re-evaluating their positions, potentially making room for more promising ventures like SpaceX. Social media buzz around the company has surged significantly—269% in the last 24 hours—indicating a growing interest, although the company still operates at a loss without providing dividends. Analysts highlight the upcoming launch of the Neutron rocket as a critical development, which could substantially lower launch costs and enhance competitive standing.

Launch capacity should become very constrained in next 2-3 years, even for broadband. If data centre use can materialize, pretty significant upside. Its new rocket, Neutron, will be much more competitive on price. Looking for cost/kg to go from $3k to $300, and we're already heading in that direction. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $88.08)

RKLB had a decent quarter, is getting some stock mojo back after its prior weak quarter (and short attack) and has signed some decent new contracts. It is still an 'expensive' stock in a still-uncertain environment. Cash flow remains highly negative and losses are expected to continue for at least two years. We like the company...less so the valuation. We would be OK with a starter position (1/4 size, perhaps) for very aggressive investors.

Well positioned for explosion in commercial space activity as launch costs come down. Launch business will have a new product later this year, a direct competitor for the mid-range Falcon 9 from SpaceX. The other 2/3 of their business involves space systems, which is building satellites for customers. No dividend.
Really likes the scrappy, technical, and resourceful CEO. Reminds him of Elon Musk in the early days.
