Rocket Lab seen as key SpaceX rival with Neutron rocket debut, Cantor Fitzgerald keeps Overweight rating.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Andres Sheppard reaffirmed an Overweight rating and $122 price target on Rocket Lab, highlighting the upcoming debut of its Neutron rocket as a unique commercial competitor to SpaceX's Falcon 9. The firm views Rocket Lab as the clearest publicly listed alternative in the commercial space sector, especially after its recent Iridium acquisition which could double annual revenue. Rocket Lab reported strong Q2 results with record revenue and a growing backlog, supported by significant new contracts including a major U.S. Space Force deal. While SpaceX remains the industry leader, Rocket Lab's position as a scaled second source offers investors a rare growth opportunity, though risks remain around execution and integration of recent acquisitions.

Rocket Lab's stock price on Pluang rose by 6.69% to USD 68.89, showing strong investor interest following recent positive developments. The company holds a market cap of $41.29 billion, with a notable volume of over 32 million shares traded. These figures are current as of Sep 22, 2026 02:11 WIB.
