Rocket Lab delays Neutron launch to 2027, keeps sell rating amid losses and shareholder dilution

Rocket Lab reported a 73% revenue increase in Q3 to $267.9 million but continues to face losses with negative EBITDA and free cash flow. The first launch of its Neutron rocket has been delayed to 2027, pushing expected profitability and backlog conversion to 2028-2029. Despite having $4.7 billion in cash and no debt, the company's shareholder dilution, with a 23% increase in share count year-over-year, raises concerns about long-term value. These factors contribute to maintaining a sell rating on the stock.

Rocket Lab's stock price on Pluang is currently USD 54.30 as of Nov 10, 2026 19:43 WIB, showing a significant 7.75% decline in one day. The stock's market cap stands at $37.64 billion, reflecting its large industrial sector presence. Trading activity on Pluang is predominantly selling, with 79% of orders being sell orders at this time.
