Rocket Lab enters 2026 with a strong backlog of $2.36 billion, a pending acquisition of Iridium, and the upcoming inaugural launch of its Neutron rocket. The company posted a 62% revenue increase in Q2 2026, signaling growth momentum despite ongoing losses and shareholder dilution from recent fundraising.
