On June 12, Rocket Lab USA declined 5.07% in regular trading, trading at approximately $107.85/share, with turnover of $1.019 billion.
On the news front, SpaceX officially debuted on Nasdaq, with its massive IPO scale prompting widespread capital reallocation across the commercial space sector. Analysts noted that investors are selling space stocks that have rallied significantly year-to-date to raise funds for SpaceX subscriptions. Rocket Lab, having gained over 50% since the start of the year, became a primary target for profit-taking and capital outflows.
The sector-wide selloff confirms the capital migration thesis. Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, Virgin Galactic plunged 25.74%, Intuitive Machines fell 10.41%, Redwire Corp. dropped 9.54%, while traditional defense names like Boeing edged down just 0.38% and GE Aerospace gained 0.51%. Notably, Rocket Lab had been added to the Nasdaq-100 Index effective June 22, and its fundamentals remain supported by $2.2 billion in revenue backlog and over 70 pending launch orders.
