An analyst upgraded Rocket Lab stock to a "buy" rating. The upgrade cited an opportunistic entry point for investors. This follows a significant price retreat ahead of the company's Q4 earnings report.
The positive re-evaluation occurred despite persistent setbacks for the next-generation Neutron rocket. The first launch is now likely delayed until late 2026 or early 2027. This setback raises execution risk for the company.
The stock's long-term growth prospects remain supportive. However, ongoing delays with the Neutron program remain a key point of concern for investors.
