Rocket Lab Soars After Q1 Beat as Stifel Flags Long-Term Buy Opportunity
Rocket Lab jumped ~26% after a blowout Q1: revenue $200.3M and gross profit $76.5M, beating expectations; Q2 revenue guidance of $225–$240M topped estimates, with a backlog near $2.2B and Neutron on track for late 2026. Strength across Launch and Space Systems and new contracts underpin growth, and Stifel’s Erik Rasmussen reiterated a Buy with a $110 target, citing high barriers to entry and limited competition as reasons for a long-term premium.
