RKLB

Any_Pomegranate1134

**RKLB (Rocket Lab)** — down hard, trading around $66-67, roughly 55% below its May 2026 high of $150. • Shares fell about 11.7% after Piper Sandler initiated coverage with a Neutral rating, adding to existing investor anxiety, even as other analysts like Roth MKM stayed bullish, raising their price target to $130. • Market concern centers on the pending $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications — specifically dilution risk and the $3.6 billion in bridge financing needed — plus a wave of insider selling, including by CEO Peter Beck. • More broadly, it's part of a risk-off rotation hitting space stocks generally, despite strong operational results across the sector. • Fundamentals actually look solid — Q1 revenue was $200M, up 63% YoY, with a $2.2B backlog. Next catalyst: estimated August 6 earnings report, with revenue projected around $232 million. **UUUU (Energy Fuels)** — trading around $11.40, near the bottom of its 52-week range ($8.16–$27.90). • Big story is the pivot from pure uranium into rare earths/critical minerals: Energy Fuels is entering the critical minerals space as the U.S. seeks to secure domestic sources of these materials, highlighted by its $1.9 billion deal to buy German magnet maker Vacuumschmelze (VAC). • It also got conditional U.S. government support for rare earths growth in June, but analysts have been trimming price targets — Goldman Sachs cut theirs to $21 from $29 in June, while the CEO bought $968K of stock in late June. • Q1 2026 earnings missed estimates (EPS -$0.04 vs -$0.02 expected); next earnings due August 5. **SLS (SELLAS Life Sciences)** — this one's the wild card, up sharply, currently around $12-13, way up from single digits in June. • Stock jumped after Alliance Global raised its price target to $25 from $10, reaffirming a Buy rating, spotlighting the Phase 3 REGAL trial in second-remission acute myeloid leukemia. • Shares have run from the mid-$8s in late June to nearly $15 before settling near $13 — it trades like a classic high-beta, catalyst-driven biotech. • CEO Angelos Stergiou has been actively pushing back on trial criticism ("let's separate the noise from the data") and made media appearances (Fox & Friends) ahead of AML trial data, fueling retail speculation about a potential Big Pharma buyout. • Bottom line: this is a pure binary-catalyst trade — the whole move is speculation ahead of AML ( SLS009) readout data, so expect continued high volatility in either direction. Quick gut-check: RKLB's selloff is more sentiment/dilution-driven than fundamentals, UUUU is a strategic pivot story people are still digesting, and SLS is a straight-up biotech data gamble — very different risk profiles despite all three moving hard this week.

RKLB heading below $40, they have a $3 billion ATM underway but they're going to need to raise even more money to pay for that dumb $8 billion acquisition they couldn't afford. Even at $66, it's still trading at higher multiple than SPCX. Need their blowhard CEO to do more podcasts to pump the stock again.

RKLB only down 2.4%, the world is healing

Additional_Battle_36

Isn’t it 50:50 cash stock? The price collar on RKLB stock is $67\~ to $110 for the deal. Risk is that, no matter how low RKLB drops, the stock portion of the deal is valued at $67 floor. There’s also upside though. Assuming deal goes through, you receive $27 cash for each stock & 0.4 shares of RKLB. When the deal goes through: 1. If RKLB price is between 67-110, you make that 17k profit. 2. If RKLB < 67 you start making less. RKLB @ $47 is your breakeven. Below that, you go into loss. 3. If RKLB > $110, you make more than 17k profit. 25 cents for each $1 RKLB is above the collar.

RKLB is heading to $30-$40 and IRDM will follow.

AyDylo

I want to own RKLB and had it in the past, but it's way overpriced imo. I think all space stocks are overpriced. I'd buy RKLB at $30 probably. It's over double that but it's probably going down to at least $50, which is still too high for me but is more reasonable of a purchase.

RKLB was almost green for a second, I'm glad someone stepped in and fixd that

Head_Product412

Wouldn’t $RKLB be on the verge of a short squeeze right now? The stock has gotten absolutely hammered — down \~35-38% in the past month alone (from highs near $100+ recently to around $67 lately), and it’s pulled back hard from its all-time highs around $150. Short interest has actually been climbing. As of the latest data (June 30, 2026), shorts are sitting on 42.6 million shares, which is roughly 7.3-8% of the float (up \~25% from the prior period). Days to cover is still low (\~1.3-1.5 based on average volume), but with the rapid price drop and increasing short positions piling in during the decline, any positive catalyst could force covering. Rocket Lab keeps hitting operational wins (10th consecutive successful launch recently, strong revenue growth, growing backlog, Neutron progress, etc.), yet the stock is getting punished hard alongside broader space/tech volatility. Low borrow rates and high options activity might add fuel too. Shorts have been rewarded lately, but at some point this feels overdone on a fundamentally improving company. Also, last 2 times the stock hit the 200ma it stayed down for 14 days then shot up to all time highs Am I missing something, or is this kinda setting up for a squeeze ? What y’all thinking?

Put some space in your face. Are RKLB and ASTS starting to take off?

Why is RKLB dumping?

KittyLover-7

Only down 20% on RKLB after the recent butchering? That’s green

ryzetard

you have shares so just hold. id only question holding RKLB

Enough-Beginning3687

Just sell calls above your buying price. Use proceeds to buy more shares. It's like dividend reinvestments. You'll easily get to 600 dram, 200 nbis and 400 RKLB enabling you to sell even more calls. Rinse and repeat until you break even. 

Candid_Payment_4094

RKLB going anywhere? Or is it a dud

I bought DRAM and RKLB at the same auspicious time as you. They are up in today’s premarket. We’re coming back, baby!

NBIS and RKLB are good reminders that the inclusion trade can fade fast after the initial excitement. I would not treat SpaceX as a simple buy because index funds must buy story. I keep names like that on my moomoo watchlist and compare volume, order book depth, and large order flow across the announcement day and the actual add date. That makes it easier to separate forced demand from retail chasing.

RKLB just like the crowd said

What about RKLB? Im thinking about picking that one up

Maleficent_Jury_6253

Got 150 RKLB long. How dumb is this?

sgb5874

RKLB is a gem! That stock prints... For food reasons.

Serenaded

Nah, China coming onto the space scene at a fraction of the cost is similar to the deepseek moment back in 2024. Most AI stocks never recovered. RKLB was already massively, massively overpriced to earnings.

ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

RKLB dragged down by the space and high beta basket algos. SPCX likely has a lot of insiders holding, can't short it, so they short fellow space basket to hedge. They'll be able to start selling SpaceX shares.. what is it early next month? Which means covering space basket hedges. I mean thesis-speaking RKLB is still making strides, if you want some comfort in not touching it for a bit. I mean unless you believe the crash begins here and now, but still you've got a very near term basket trade coming up when hedges begin to cover, I'm just not sure of the magnitude. It's going to hit ASTS as well. We'd all be a lot higher if Bezos rocket hadn't exploded so spectacularly, but still the SpaceX hedgers would be in so the drawdown was coming either way.

4airplanes

I bought RKLB at 140 before blue origin explosion, so I'm down like 50%. Luckily, it was just about $1k, so not quite as regarded as this, but still. Hang in there bro.

there's some guy here with a few mil I think in only RKLB, said he refused to sell till it hit $500. Hard to imagine just watching that get cut in half or worse.

RKLB holders, brace for impact, t-minus 1 hour until we lose everything.

Affectionate-West112

MU NVDA up, RKLB continues sell off to 40, where it will still be overvalued

RKLB with Iridium will compete also.

PokemonAnimar

My main two holdings are ASTS and RKLB, then also a smattering of drone and rare earth companies. All down massively right now 😥 

Logical-Clerk-1571

No calculation needed, why RKLB is priced 68 dollars? Absolutely cheap

Less drawdown than RKLB by the way

Logistics middle mile, long haul, dock to dock, hub to spoke, etc Correct you are. AUR will be next RKLB/PLTR

OptionsDrifter

I’m happily selling 30% OTM CSPs on MRVL, NBIS, and RKLB right now. Some 11DTEs are paying an annualized 20% ROI vs assignment value on those names that would require a further 30% drop for assignment, assuming you don’t roll further.

FalseDiamond7930

RKLB, NVDA and AMD gave me great returns. Even with a -55% correction from the top I'm still making money on RKLB an was able to add a little more. If anything the only lesson to be learned in the past years is that it's better to be on the market than to try to time it (these same companies looked overvalued 2 years ago as well).

HistoryAndScience

Eh, you win some and you lose some. It was less than 1% of my portfolio. Could still go up before August. I do think it’s pretty oversold, especially when it went down like $30 because of one failed rocket launch. It reminded me of the early days of RKLB when the price would wildly fluctuate based off that days launches and not the backlogs, contracts, etc

Rooksteady

Great example ; RKLB...sat around 150's for about 48hrs....if you're in at $20 and saw this you could adjust/tighten your stop-loss to 140/145 and capture the move...could have set it at 100$....

Flaccid_bizzzkit69

I appreciate the follow up. What had happened to RKLB in my opinion is a complete overreaction, yet it provides a tremendous buying opportunity. I am also a huge fan of sir Peter beck, a true autist, I can respect, perhaps even admire that. I like Berkshire’s new ceo too, he seemed like a great operator and more open to tech plays. I thibk Berkshire will be a safe haven too if/when the ai bubble bursts. Regardless, they remain well positioned with cash reserves and have a lot of opportunity

Berry-Reasonable

I like these recommendations. Building infrastructure companies in Canada are likewise flying in part because of nuclear projects to support the energy crisis and data centre build out but also other national interest projects like pipelines, roads to the arctic, etc. Big government contracts are being earned with companies like BDT.TO and ARE.TO. Pipelines have also been moving well in Canada and the US due to the energy security crisis—companies like Enbridge, Keyera and Pembina moving well, and are not heavily leveraged to the price of oil. Banks have also moved like growth stocks over the last year but are surely fully valued now (GS, RY, National). Aerospace has also been a great growth sector in both Canada and the US. Companies like GE Aerospace, RKLB, Magellan, all with outsized returns beating major indexes. The Musk chimerical forecasts for SpaceX (the Ai company with little Ai revenue) is throwing a wrench in there and sucking money out of the whole market but those stocks are ready for their next move. Love the Berkshire recommendation and I am not currently holding Berkshire but will aim to accumulate over next few months.

FutureMartian97

Yep. I'm now bag holding RKLB and FLY because of it

DorianSoundscapes

I sold RKLB at the top and recently bought back in for the long hold, I think it’s actually a good long term investment but it’s definitely past the playing the volatility for high profit stage.

Flaccid_bizzzkit69

QXO, RKLB, and BULL. QXO is a building company in North America, recently taken over by Brad jacobs. RKLB is, in my opinion, oversold right now with a great year ahead; good progress on neutron, recent acquisition proposal of iridium (satellite company) that should go through early 2027, and continued launch success with nasa. Webull is expanding rapidly into global markets, recent news includes crypto expansion into EU and Canada. Berk-B is also a great investment if you’re looking to diversify away from semis. 360 billion plus in cash, large stake in apple and Google. Ready to pounce when a severe market decline occurs.

I think it's because this place is filled with a lot of amateurs chasing recommendations and momentum gains or losses rather than anything else. A couple years ago this place with ripe with good picks, RKLB, NBIS, NVDA, AMD, etc. Now it's pumping things up 100% and getting people in trouble.

Im not re entering memory but looking to re enter RKLB if it keeps going down. Im a bit scared of the market rn tho and am 75% cash but holding MDA still for some rsn which is losing me thousands per week lol

Learn about momentum. Money rotates into trendy stocks, they got pumped beyond normal valuations. After the stocks become extremely hyped your average Joe wants to have a piece, the smart money starts to take profits and the stock comes back to saner price levels. Generational bag holders are created. A similar recent trend was with OKLO and SMR (the nuclear momentum), gold miners, or more recently and shortlived the space stocks (RKLB). Those movements and rotations happen all the time, but when there's excess liquidity on the market, the movements up (and then down) are more exacerbated. Other trends from the past: everything Blockchain, electric cars, cloud, cyber security, etc. Basically those plays function like disguised PUMP and DUMP schemes where the collective greed of all traders and investors works. The first to exit is making profits. Now PUMP and DUMP is happening with memory stocks.

Regenbooggeit

Same dude. ‘Lost’ about 30k from the top, my port is about as large as yours but a little less exposed. NBIS, RKLB, MU & SNDK were my winners in June and big losers in July. It happens. Every time I see people trolling I wonder why they didn’t full port puts or shorted the shit out of everything.

4airplanes

Don't worry bro, I ported into RKLB at 140 a day before blue origin explosion.

Everything depends on the next weeks earnings. If the results are not perfect perfect, you might see them drop to more realistic price levels.

I mean like I said basically every tech and space stock is down big. OP doesn’t say which he owns so it’s generalized advice. But even in the case of something like a RKLB, ASTS, NBIS, MRVL you think they’re all down forever now? You’re out of your mind.

Kimi k3 needs the same amount of hardware as other models, infact this should increase the demand for memory. The bigger question is what companies can afford to even buy enough hardware to run these models which are getting even more extensive in their hardware needs? With regards to space, RKLB doesn't even have any reusable rockets so idk how china proving they can build one has any relevance.
