RKLB is trading at $67.72 (-6.78%) as investors react to a delay in the Neutron rocket's maiden launch until late 2026 following a Stage 1 tank failure.
- The setback overshadows a strong Q4 earnings report where revenue reached $180M, beating estimates, and the total backlog surged 73% to $1.85B.
- While full-year revenue grew 38% to $602M, the market is prioritizing the technical delay over positive financial momentum and new contract wins.
- The stock's decline is further compounded by a broader market pullback, with the S&P 500 currently down 0.79%.
