Rocket Lab Corporation is evolving into a vertically integrated space and defense company, highlighted by a $90 million contract with the U.S. Space Force for GEO satellites. This contract positions Rocket Lab as a prime contractor responsible for end-to-end mission delivery, marking a significant step up in its business model. Despite its high valuation at around 100 times trailing sales, investor optimism is driven by expected growth in defense contracts, successful deployment of its Neutron rocket, and expanding backlog. Continued execution in these areas could justify Rocket Lab's premium valuation over time.
