Rocket Lab has transformed from a small-launch rocket company into a broader space firm with a $2.2 billion backlog and over 70 missions contracted, driven by major defense contracts worth $816 million. Despite a delayed Neutron rocket launch and ongoing losses, the company achieved 100% success on 21 Electron missions in 2025 and saw 63.5% revenue growth in Q1 2026. Its stock has surged significantly since its 2021 IPO, reflecting optimism around defense deals and sector momentum, but high volatility and financial risks remain. Investors should consider it a high-risk, high-reward opportunity rather than a stable core holding.
