Technical Analysis 
(Note the short timeframe.) Next in line to SPCX in terms of being able to launch reusable rockets.
Ivana Delevska
(Note the short timeframe.) Closest competitor to SPCX, but 2 years behind on a reusable rocket. This holding is in the higher beta part of her portfolio.

Premium contentIn the last quarter, the company reported -0.07 USD per share, beating the -0.07 USD estimate by -4.35%.

It just joined the Nasdaq 100, but shares fell 11% today, because it's a source of funds for SpaceX. They launched more than 20 satellites last year and will do even more this year. Though cheaper than SpaceX, it trades at 65x sales, not earnings. Shares are up 288% the past year. Don't chase it.
All space stocks are down today after a Jeff Bezos rocket exploded in a test yesterday. It has no effect on him. Explosions are expected in the test phase. Maybe investors are freeing some dry powder, perhaps to buy SpaceX.

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.

It operates through the Launch Services and Space Systems segments. The Launch Services segment provides launch services to customers on a dedicated mission or ride share basis. The Space Systems segment consists of spacecraft engineering and design services, spacecraft components, spacecraft manufacturing, and on-orbit mission operations.

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.
