Rocket Lab Stock Could Be the Space Launch Upstart Investors Kick Themselves for Ignoring by 2035 Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) just reported its Q1 earnings, and the crowd went wild
Shares of the “tiny” space company (Rocket Lab is worth $45 billion, but next to SpaceX at $1.75 trillion, that looks small) surged in premarket trading Friday after Rocket Lab crushed analyst sales targets in its Q1 earnings report. Quarterly sales surged 63.5% year over year to $200.3 million. GAAP gross profit margin set a new record at 38.2%.
And Rocket Lab isn’t finished yet. Dramatic growth 63.5% sales growth sounds impressive, but Rocket Lab may be just getting started. In Q1 2026, the company says it signed more launch contracts than in all of 2025.
