10 shares we like more than Rocket Lab ›
SpaceX is the most valuable private company in the world, which is believed to be $ 350 billion. It’s too bad that you can’t buy her stock on the market today. The total profit and value received by SpaceX was allocated to the public, the risk capitalists and the company’s employees. Seeing this profit, without going into them, can be frustrating investors who do not have access to the venture capital market.
Still, things may not be lost. If you really want to invest in SpaceX, Copycat business Rocket Lab(Nasdaq: RKLB) May be for you. This is why anyone demanding to buy SpaceX shares should seriously consider their Rocket Lab portfolio.
The Rocket Lab is a niche space company, but one that crashes the SpaceX heels. This is the only other company that reliably launches Rockets customers at a scale, and its electron program is constantly starting every quarter. The company has won commercial and government buyers’ agreement on how much the electron rocket is small. The SpaceX systems are not designed for a windy or small -useful cargo, so the Rocket Lab attacked the market previously monopolized by SpaceX.
These opportunities have allowed Rocket Lab to win contracts for national defense systems such as Haste (hypersonal accelerator suborbital test electron), which helps the Government’s test for hypersonal defense. These reliable contracts are only growing, and in the coming years there may be a greater opportunity for government costs for space defense. For example, the proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system is expected to cost $ 175 billion, while the Rocket Lab is in the most important position to win contracts related to this program if it is, as many others.
Relationships with the US Government for national defense priorities can be quite profitable in the Rocket Lab as it tries to go other actions as a business. That is why he has just purchased Geost, a satellite laser operator, for $ 275 million.

Looking forward to the future, the Rocket Lab is preparing for the future where it directly competes with SpaceX missiles through its Neutron Rocket, which will be much larger than the electron and will have a similar useful load as the Spacex’s Falcon 9 missile system. The Rocket Lab is currently trying to have a neutron and hopes to be ready for commercial launch next year.
The operating neutron rocket can lead to a huge impetus for the Rocket Lab business. 2026 It already has a proposed contract for two missions for an unnamed client and has been signed for the US National Security Space (NSSL) program, which is expected to be expected in 2029. Will spend $ 5.6 billion.
This is a huge Rocket Lab option. The company already has a great reputation for safe launches, which will hopefully encourage the company to win neutron agreements. It will also help the company sell more space systems that it develops to its launch customers, which is a double wave of business income growth.
Today, the Rocket Lab retardation is just over $ 1 billion. If Neutron can start safely to run customers, we could notice the huge growth of Rocket Lab a retardation in the rest of the decade.
SpaceX prices and sales ratio (p/s) is expected to be approximately 27, which is quite expensive. Medium stocks S&P 500 The P/S ratio is 3, which takes the market top and is divided by sales for 12 months and is metric, often used when the company has no earnings. Rocket Lab is on a boat like a SpaceX. Its P/S ratio is 28.5, which has increased when stock has increased in the last 12 months.

The Rocket Lab can get into your own assessment if the neutron is successful and the income will increase ten times over the next 10 years. Today, however, the company has a expensive P/S ratio and has never made profits. It makes a risky gambit to put your money.
If you really want to invest in space economy, Rocket Lab is a good way to play this trend. However, stocks are expensive and are not without risk.
