$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Iβm extremely confident $RKLB is on the verge of a breakout that could redefine its market position, driven by a bullish pennant setup, institutional accumulation, and a Neutron launch window that could ignite a space sector re-rate. This isnβt noise; itβs the start of a multi-decade growth cycle that Wall Street is still underpricing.
π Chart Breakdown
$RKLB closed at 44.64 (+1.09%), breaking through a tightly wound bullish pennant thatβs been forming since the 53.44 high. The 1H and 4H Keltner and Bollinger overlays show price consolidating near the EMA21 and EMA55 mid-zones, with upper Keltner resistance near 48 and Bollinger squeeze targeting 50+. Weekly structure holds above the 30MA at 43.24, maintaining higher lows from 25.92. This is not divergence; itβs detachment from prior range dynamics. RSI remains in mid-60s on higher timeframes, avoiding overbought territory while MACD flattens for a potential crossover. The pennantβs measured move projects toward the 55β58 zone on breakout confirmation, with volume expansion already spiking. A liquidity flush under 43 could retest 40.32 support before the next leg, but sustained closes above 46 open the path to 49.29 and 53.44.
π° Earnings Snapshot
Q2 2025 revenue growth came in at 35.9% YoY with a 2-year CAGR of 52.5%, continuing a multi-quarter trend of scaling efficiency (Q4 2024βs explosive 120.7% YoY growth was a high watermark). Execution here shows no signs of fundamental erosion despite macro volatility. This isnβt just about quarterly beats; itβs about sustaining aerospace compounding in a market reckoning for credibility resets.
π° Segment Revenues
National security contracts, mega-constellation deployment, and deep space infrastructure are the core revenue pillars. Neutronβs first launch is still targeted for late 2025; even if delayed 3β6 months, the multi-decade growth arc remains intact. That launch opens multi-billion dollar TAM in defense, commercial constellations, and eventual crewed missions. DARPA-related AIM-9 Sidewinder integration underscores $RKLBβs role in defense-grade propulsion and payload adaptability, a moat few can replicate.
π Flow & Institutional Moves
Options chain shows Aug 29 calls in heavy play: 48C at 2.05, 50C at 1.50, and 55C at 0.67, with IV at 78.58% (+8.22 implied move). Delta clustering between 0.30β0.38 suggests targeted directional exposure. Institutional accumulation has pushed $RKLB into the #6 spot on IBD50 with a Relative Strength rating of 99, alongside $PLTR and $HOOD. Thatβs a technical badge reserved for the marketβs leadership cohort.
π΅ Valuation Check
Current market cap near $20B sits at ~5% of SpaceXβs ~$400B valuation. Using ARK Investβs base case $2.5T for SpaceX by 2030, that ratio alone yields a $125B target for $RKLB, or ~$264/share (6x from here). The bear case ($1.7T SpaceX) still implies $85B ($187/share), and the bull case ($3.1T SpaceX) lands at $155B ($352/share). If $RKLB grows market share to 10% of SpaceXβs footprint, those 2030 PTs double. By 2040, ARK projects SpaceX at $13T, the extrapolated upside becomes generational.
π Analyst PTs & Sentiment
Sentiment is firmly bullish, with social chatter spiking post-earnings on the pennant breakout. $RKLBβs defense and launch cadence narrative is being positioned as βSpaceXβs only pure-play publicly traded peer.β Analysts are framing execution risk as short-term noise versus long-term inevitability. As one space sector analyst noted, βIf Rocket Lab keeps executing, theyβll own the small-to-medium lift segment before competitors even reach pad readiness.β Prove me wrong.
π My Trade Plan
Iβm tactically bullish into the breakout, scaling on dips toward 43 with defined risk under 40.32. Iβm holding a staggered call spread into late August targeting 50β55 with runners toward 58 on momentum continuation. If we see a credibility reset pullback, Iβm prepared to double exposure ahead of Neutronβs first launch window.
π Conclusion
By year-end, $RKLB trades north of 60 if Neutronβs pad-readiness is confirmed, setting up for a market-wide re-rate that prices in its share of the space supercycle. This isnβt hype; itβs asymmetric risk-reward in a sector about to experience its market reckoning.
