The analysis focuses on Rocket Lab's stock, noting its significant increase of 164% year-to-date and over 530% in the last 12 months, with the current price around $67. The core question explored is whether this growth can continue, emphasizing that Rocket Lab is not a typical space startup due to partnerships with NASA, Space Force, and Blacksky. The company is developing Neutron, a rocket designed to compete with SpaceX. If Neutron launches on schedule, Rocket Lab could transition from a small-cap dreamer to a serious prime contractor. From 2021 to 2024, the company transitioned from a launch-centric approach to a diversified space platform offering hardware, software, and services. The analysis shifts the focus from questioning whether the company is losing money to assessing if it is building value faster than it is burning cash.
