Key Business and Financial Updates:

• Strong Revenue Growth and Record Quarterly Performance: Rocket Lab reported record Q3 2025 revenue of USD 155 million, marking a robust 48% year-over-year increase, driven by strong demand across both its Launch and Space Systems businesses. This performance reflects expanding commercial, civil, and defense-sector activity, alongside increased mission cadence. The company also achieved a record GAAP gross margin of approximately 37%, highlighting improved cost efficiencies and maturing production capabilities across its vertically integrated portfolio.
• Launch Services Momentum and Contract Wins: The quarter saw exceptional momentum in launch operations, with Rocket Lab securing 17 dedicated Electron launch contracts, reinforcing its position as the global leader in small-launch services. Management noted the company remains on track to exceed 20+ Electron launches in 2025, supported by repeat commercial customers and expanding national security missions. These contract wins contribute meaningfully to forward revenue visibility and underline sustained market trust in Electron’s reliability and cadence.
• Strengthened Liquidity and Balance Sheet Position: Rocket Lab ended Q3 2025 with over USD 1 billion in liquidity, significantly enhanced by the execution of an at-the-market (ATM) equity program. This strong financial position provides flexibility for ongoing investments in Neutron launch vehicle development, spacecraft manufacturing capacity, and acquisitions in advanced space technologies. Management emphasized the company’s disciplined capital allocation strategy, aimed at balancing growth, technological expansion, and long-term financial resilience.
• Profitability Trends and Adjusted EBITDA Outlook: Despite record revenue and margin expansion, Rocket Lab continued to report adjusted EBITDA losses as it scales operations and invests heavily in next generation launch systems. For Q4 2025, the company guided revenue of USD 170–180 million, GAAP gross margin of 37–39%, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of USD 23–29 million. Management noted that improving launch cadence, higher-margin spacecraft programs, and operational efficiencies are expected to gradually narrow losses and drive long-term profitability.
• Strategic Execution and Multi-Year Growth Visibility: Rocket Lab’s performance in Q3 underscores strong execution across both launch and space systems, with a growing backlog supported by deepening participation in commercial constellation programs, national security missions, and spacecraft subsystem production. Management reaffirmed confidence in the multi-year strategy, citing expanding market share, successful mission execution, and ongoing development of the Neutron medium-lift launch vehicle. These elements together position Rocket Lab as a leading, vertically integrated space company with substantial growth visibility into 2026 and beyond.

Technical Observation (on the daily chart):

• Price Trend and Moving Averages: RKLB continues to show short-term weakness, trading at USD 49.97 and staying below its 21-day and 50-day moving averages, signaling a persistent bearish trend. The fall from the USD 55–60 zone highlights fading momentum, with resistance now anchored near these averages.
• Momentum Indicators and Sentiment: The RSI at 36.91 indicates soft sentiment and near-oversold conditions, though its downward trend since October confirms weakening momentum. A meaningful rebound would require an RSI reversal supported by stronger buying volume.
• Support, Resistance, and Market Outlook: With declining volume and ongoing selling, upside remains limited unless RKLB holds the USD 48–46 support region; a break lower could extend losses toward USD 42–40. A move above USD 56 is needed to revive bullish structure, keeping the stock in a corrective phase for now.

Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) delivered strong Q3 2025 revenue growth of 48% YoY to USD 155 million and posted record gross margins, supported by rising demand across launch and space systems; however, adjusted EBITDA remained negative as the company continued investing in Neutron development and spacecraft production. Liquidity exceeded USD 1 billion following ATM program execution, reinforcing financial flexibility for long-term strategic initiatives, including expanded launch cadence and spacecraft manufacturing capacity. While operational momentum and multi-year backlog strength support a positive fundamental outlook, the stock’s technical setup remains weak, with RKLB trading below key moving averages, showing fading momentum, and requiring a move above USD 56 to re-establish a bullish structure.
