Rocket Lab reported a record Q2 revenue of $234 million, up 62% year-over-year and beating estimates, driven by strong launch contract growth. Despite this, the company posted a wider GAAP loss of $0.08 per share due to heavy investments in its Neutron rocket and other growth initiatives. The backlog reached a record $2.36 billion, up 137% year-over-year, with over 90 launches booked. Rocket Lab expects Q3 revenue between $250 million and $265 million and plans its first Neutron rocket launch in Q4 2026.
