On July 30, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. rose 5.02% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $61.60/share, with turnover of $29.31 million. The stock is rebounding after two consecutive sessions of cumulative declines exceeding 10%.
On the news front, the company recently secured a $266 million multi-launch contract from the US Space Force Space Systems Command's Rocket Systems Launch Program — its largest launch order to date. The contract covers 12 HASTE suborbital launches supporting missile defense and other critical national security missions, with options for up to six additional launches. The first launch is expected no earlier than the end of this year, with work primarily conducted at the Pacific Spaceport Complex in Kodiak, Alaska, and completion targeted by December 2028.
The prior selloff was driven by CEO Peter Beck's cumulative reduction of approximately 2.8 million shares via a 10b5-1 plan, alongside a filing to sell an additional 5 million shares valued at roughly $465 million. The contract's fundamental support appears to have triggered a technical rebound following the extended pullback.
