DEMANDING

50

out of 100

Rocket Lab Corp is in full growth mode but not yet profitable: revenue is growing strongly (75.9% a year), but it doesn't translate into earnings yet. On fundamental quality it scores 50 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 6.86× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Rocket Lab is the second U.S. space-launch company after SpaceX: its Electron rocket puts small satellites in orbit, and it builds components and full satellites for others. Its big bet is Neutron, a larger, reusable rocket.

What will shape its future

  • Neutron's development: it would open the large-launch market and direct competition with SpaceX.
  • Growth of its space-systems division (satellites and components), already its biggest revenue source.
  • Government and defense space spending, a key customer for the whole sector.
