Defense-Driven Turnaround Reframes Rocket Lab's Growth Story

TL;DR Summary
Rocket Lab's revenue mix is moving toward defense-related programs, with Space Systems delivering a large portion of Q4 revenue and the backlog expanding to $1.85 billion. A delay of the Neutron program to late 2026 adds near-term execution risk, while the stock trades around 52x 2026 sales, reflecting lofty growth expectations as management targets revenue growth from roughly $850 million to about $3.7 billion over the next five years.
