🟢 Rocket Lab USA is trading 4.3% up today after securing a record $266M U.S. Space Force contract and rebounding from Iridium deal pullback

Rocket Lab USA is trading 4.3% up at $66.68 in pre-market, driven by a new record $266 million multi-launch contract with the U.S. Space Force. - This significant contract for 12 suborbital launches provides a strong catalyst for the stock, which is also rebounding from an 8.7% drop on July 24 following its $8 billion Iridium acquisition. - The gains occur as U.S. stock futures show a mixed picture, with Nasdaq lagging, but RKLB's rebound is primarily company-specific.
