What the filing says
Rocket Lab reported Q2 2026 revenue of $234M (62% YoY growth) and record backlog of $2.36B (137% YoY growth). The company announced a landmark agreement to acquire Iridium Communications Inc. and previously closed acquisitions of Mynaric and Motiv. Q3 2026 guidance: revenue $250-265M, gross margin 29-31% GAAP / 35-37% non-GAAP, adjusted EBITDA loss $17-23M. Backlog includes 90+ launches and $437M in new launch contracts signed in Q2 plus post-quarter signings.
Why this rating
Record revenue/backlog growth and large M&A (Iridium) are meaningful, but company remains unprofitable with negative adj. EBITDA. Relative to $14.9B market cap, Q2 revenue is ~6% annualized run rate; acquisitions' sizes not disclosed but material strategic moves. Execution risk remains high.
