The companys backlog swelled to $2.2 billion, and gross margins soared to 38.2%. The stock surged 34% on May 7th, surpassing analyst targets. Analysts like Stephen Guilfoyle and TD Cowen raised their price targets, with Morgan Stanley upgrading to overweight at $105. By May 11th, shares reached an all-time high of $123.35, up 11% for the day. Rocket Lab secured significant defense contracts, including a spot on the Department of Wars Space-Based Interceptor program and deals with Anduril and Motiv Space Systems. The company projects Q2 revenue between $225 million and $240 million, with gross margins holding at 38-40%. The Neutron rockets debut later this year could unlock bigger payloads and contracts, but any delay could impact the current rally.
