Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openRocket Lab raised $1.944 billion to fund its $8 billion acquisition of Iridium, and separately advanced hardware testing for its Neutron rocket in Virginia.
Rocket Lab has completed raising about $1.94 billion by selling roughly 29.3 million new shares through an at-the-market stock sale, fully financing its pending acquisition of Iridium Communications. Iridium's existing $1.775 billion credit facility has been amended to allow the change of ownership, and a $3.6 billion short-term bridge loan has been cancelled. The deal is still expected to close in mid-2027, pending regulatory approval.
Rocket Lab's stock fell 39% between mid-June and September 10, 2025, while the S&P 500 gained 2.4% over the same period. The drop was nearly twice as steep as peer L3Harris (down 18.9%) and far larger than Lockheed Martin (down 1.3%) or Northrop Grumman (down 5.3%), suggesting company-specific weakness on top of broader sector softness. The article notes the company recently posted record revenue, the CEO reported more than $1 billion in new contracts since Q2 2026 began, and the Neutron rocket schedule has not changed.
Raymond James analyst Rick Ducat says he's bullish on Rocket Lab (RKLB) even though the stock has dropped more than 55% so far in 2026, a decline the article ties to the SpaceX IPO in June. He also points out that the stock is sitting at the tip of a triangle-shaped trading range (a sideways pattern where the price bounces between narrowing highs and lows), which he says will resolve in a sharp move either up or down.
Planet Labs has publicly flagged a capacity crunch on SpaceX's shared Falcon 9 rideshare missions, and the article notes smaller satellite operators are looking at alternatives such as Rocket Lab's Electron, which offers dedicated launch dates, orbits, and mission profiles rather than shared rides.
