Space stocks have had a loud two weeks, and Rocket Lab (RKLB) has been at the center of most of the noise. Between a new, clean launch, a run of new government contracts, an $8 billion acquisition that reshapes the company's long-term business model, and a closely watched debut earnings report from a much larger industry peer, investors have collected more data points on the small-launch and space-systems market in the past 10 days than in most entire quarters.
Rocket Lab reports its own second-quarter results after today's close, and the setup looks better than it has in a while.
