Research Alert: Rocket Lab Reports Stellar Q1 Results With Accelerating Growth In Both Segments

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Rocket Lab delivered a transformational Q1 with record revenue of $200.3M (+63.5% Y/Y), significantly surpassing all guidance metrics with GAAP gross margins reaching a record 38.2%. The exceptional performance was driven by robust demand across all platforms, with 31 new Electron/HASTE contracts plus five dedicated Neutron launches signed, growing total backlog to a record $2.2B (+20.2% Q/Q). Strategic wins include selection for the Department of War's Space Based Interceptor program under Golden Dome and completion of the Mynaric acquisition, establishing Rocket Lab Europe as the company's first European footprint. Q2 2026 guidance of $225M-$240M in revenue represents continued strong growth momentum, with the midpoint implying approximately 90% Y/Y growth. We believe the company's strong backlog, diversified customer base spanning international markets and defense sectors, and robust pipeline position Rocket Lab for continued market share gains in the rapidly expanding space economy.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Rocket Lab Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price to $100 from $80, applying an EV/sales multiple of 45.8x to our 2027 estimate. This multiple is a slight premium to its five-year historical average multiple at 43.1x. We raise our 2026 loss per share estimate to -$0.11 from -$0.18 and cut 2027's EPS estimate to $0.05 from $0.14. Despite the Stage 1 tank setback, Neutron development showed meaningful progress. Multiple critical subsystems passed qualification during the quarter, including the Hungry Hippo fairing, thrust structure, and Stage 2. Flight hardware is now arriving at the Wallops launch site for final integration and testing. First launch is now targeted for Q4 2026. RKLB is not waiting for the first flight to build subsequent vehicles. Management noted that production of additional Neutron tail numbers is already underway, which means follow-on flights will not be delayed by the same duration as the first launch.
