I Just Bought Rocket Lab Stock. Here’s Why

Rocket Lab stock (RKLB) has fallen dramatically from its highs, and I just opened a new position in the low $60s. But this isn’t simply a bet that Rocket Lab stock is oversold. There’s one catalyst that I think could completely change the RKLB story: Neutron. In this video, I break down my current Rocket Lab stock analysis, why I’m buying RKLB around these levels, what I’m seeing on the daily chart, and why the first successful Neutron launch could become one of the most important events in Rocket Lab’s history. Rocket Lab’s existing Electron launch business continues to grow, the company has built a record backlog, and customers are already booking Neutron launches before the rocket has ever reached orbit. But Neutron has also faced delays, including problems during Stage 1 tank testing, and Rocket Lab has acknowledged that the window for an end-of-year 2026 launch is narrowing. So what happens if Neutron actually works? We’ll look at Peter Beck’s latest comments on getting Neutron to the launch pad, why Rocket Lab is focused on scaling beyond the first launch, and what a successful Neutron flight could potentially mean for the Rocket Lab stock price. I also break down Rocket Lab’s planned Iridium acquisition and why I think Iridium makes the Neutron story even more interesting. If the deal closes, Rocket Lab could eventually control an enormous portion of the space value chain: building satellites, launching them, operating infrastructure in orbit, and generating recurring revenue from space-based services. For me, there are really two RKLB stories developing at the same time. The first is a shorter-term momentum setup. Rocket Lab stock has been hit alongside the broader space trade, but the daily chart continues to show higher lows. With Rocket Lab earnings expected in early November, I’m watching for momentum to return and for another meaningful Neutron update from management. The second is the much bigger long-term question: What is Rocket Lab worth if Neutron succeeds? I’ve traded RKLB several times before, typically entering around the $70–$75 range. I had no position coming into this recent decline, but I opened a new Rocket Lab position in the low $60s because I think the risk/reward has become increasingly interesting. That doesn’t mean Neutron is guaranteed to succeed. Rocket development is incredibly difficult. The launch could be delayed again, testing could uncover additional problems, and the first flight itself could fail. Rocket Lab also remains an expensive stock by traditional valuation metrics. But that uncertainty is exactly what makes this story worth following.
