RKLB

perceptive_AI

I guarantee you there are a whole bunch of regards that think they are geniuses in this market , the biggest ones are the RKLB regards since they keep posting their gains.

RKLB has been really good to me the past year. But down to my last CC and 1 $40 call. Thanks SPB.

coochievogue

Not trying to be negative, but I’d probably remove RKLB and SOUN from the “what worked this year” section if we’re talking YTD performance. Unless I’m reading the chart wrong, both have been weak YTD, so it makes the post a little confusing. MU makes sense as the main winner, and NRED fits the small-cap/high-risk part if it’s actually up around 230% YTD, but RKLB and SOUN don’t really support the portfolio-gains argument. Maybe better to frame RKLB/SOUN as watchlist names, not contributors.

But you bought ASTS and RKLB?

PM_ME_UR_BASILISKS

My other space holdings are temporary. RKLB is a buy and hold forever as far as I am concerned.

taffy_laffy

RKLB expanding their business to defense, sats, landers, basically a 1 stop shop for anything rocket or space related. 250b is a guaranteed fair value market cap with all these wins from government contracts, along with the swelling private demand and growing backlog.

Professional_Art3563

Institutional fund rotation from ASTS, RKLB into SPCX. ASTS will drop more due to lack of revenue

PureImbalance

LMAO SpaceX IPO and Neutron will pump RKLB to 200+ easily. And even if it doesn't, holding this for 10 years because this will be the number 2 space company in this new gold rush.

Academic_Lock_1699

Same as RKLB

Bull_Bound_Co

The key is to look for stocks that have compelling stories. RKLB had Neutron coming potentially within a year when it was $3. GME had the PS5 launch within a year and massive short interest. 2028 if a dem wins what kind of shifts could happen? Biotech crisper etc. It’s also luck timing.  No stop losses because you believe in the story invest with the idea the money is a loss. I look at stocks everyday read up on what the company is doing don’t really look at charts until things pop. Then sell at targets limit orders xyz price. Sometimes buy back on large drops.

What are we thinking with ASTS and RKLB tomorrow?

noworsethannormal

I did more than a few penny pharma stocks with slush money and a couple hit it big, but the average sucked so I stopped that. Hit Nebius a bit before the big pop and cashed out. Some of the big gainers were meme stocks that I thought actually had their shit together. Need to trim some RKLB and ASTS probably, they've grown to more of my portfolio than I'd like.

JPowTheDayTrader

My memefolio is probably going to be down 10k tomorrow. Oh well. A huge pullback was bound to happen. Can't keep rising 2K everyday forever. Stairs up, elevators down and all that. Hopefully I can recover that stupid RKLB CC that I sold.

Insane cost basis on RKLB - congrats. There’s a guy at my office who drives an Audi with the license plate “RKLB” and it always makes me feel the fomo so bad haha. I also have been in TSLA since like 2021 so I’m crossing my fingers Elon ends up merging the two and I’ll get exposure that way… so I’m not really in a rush to add to any space names unless there’s a large correction and the price is right. I haven’t heard of MP, will have to look into this one. Funny, I’ve been doing some DD on both CEG/VST as of recent as I want exposure to the AI power theme. I’ve been leaning towards VST over CEG (smaller market cap + higher risk/reward imo and I’m pretty risk on and have time on my side) but do you have any particular reason(s) why you went with VST over the others?

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW

So you’re saying I shouldn’t be 94% in RKLB?

GronktheStonk

Yeah, I’ve been long a few space positions, but mainly ASTS, RKLB, and RDW in terms of largest positions. For ASTS, my cost basis is roughly in the high 40s (did buy a couple hundred shares when it dropped to 68 or so a couple weeks back). My biggest position was RKLB in the single digits. Cost basis is around 6.5 for those. I went to school with someone high up in the company, so I looked into it a long time ago and figured we’d need space logistics in the future, just didn’t think it happen this early. I think you are on the right track in how to think. Likely see space pump for a couple more weeks then sell off after IPO and that will lead to a good entry imo. Only recent capital I’ve deployed is in MP, ASTS, CRWV, NBIS, and VST

RKLB Degen here I rolled my 3 Strike 145 Calls out at 147 today and back into 6 Strike 152.5 Calls. I moved 1.5 k (which started at the beginning of May at 2.3k before some losses in ONDS) to 2.6k. I am confident rklb is moving higher tomorrow, based on the SpaceX IPO, which is coming to change how wallstreet values space stocks all together. I realize this is wildly expensive compared to current earnings, but I am looking at future growth, and an "Expanse" like future where mankind routinely goes out into space, to colonize other worlds and bodies of rock, to mine, and make their fortunes. In this regard, these stocks are still currently under priced, if SpaceX is indeed coming in at a 2 trillion valuation. In a few years we will be discussing the good old days back when these stocks were cheap at $150 a share. I am a Degen, I like making money, and this is a high risk venture. Today I sat holding those Strike 145s through a $152 open, through a gut wrenching fall to 137 today, and it had been ever lower the day before. The stock however is notably on a tear, has had relatively few red days in the last two weeks or so... and a sound thesis on price movement. I confess investing in calls here given the price fluctuation is more of an act of faith than of the science of trading but I have that faith, and this is lunch money, not rent money. TLDR: HOLD

ShaggyDogLives

Yeah, sadly was not much, but up over 1000% on RKLB and 400% on ASTS

ShaggyDogLives

Was early on RKLB and ASTS. Honestly got that info from here too. Still have index funds

mnight75

If it makes you feel better I fomoed 2k to 6k on RKLB and a few others. Before it dropped back to \~4k, sold and went all in on onds a week and a half ago, lost 1.6k down to 1.7k, topped up 300 bucks to 2k and proceeded to trade that down to 1.5k again... I threw the whole thing on 3 Strike 145 calls 5/26 with a 5/29 DTE. Held all day 5/26, and through this mess 5/27 to hop out at 2k when the stock went to 147, rolled the whole thing into 6 Strike 152.5 5/29 DTE calls. Either I am stupid or smart, but the stock closed at 150, and I expect a sharp jump tomorrow, its currently sitting at a "value" of 2.6k. The moral of the story is, I am an idiot, don't do what I do, but this is also lunch money, not rent. I work as a plumber, and this is mad money I can afford to lose. If it goes to zero, I gotta work 20 hours to replace it, so its not really a super big deal.

ImnTheGreat

holy shit 7 shares of RKLB? Where did you acquire the capital?

patricio87

SpaceX, RKLB, ASTS, Branson's company

VotedOut

It could work out, but it might never even get big enough to grow into the valuation it's at right now. To copy/paste some sections of stuff I wrote in other comments: RKLB is already trading at a higher market cap than Northrop Grumman is - so it RKLB will need to get to be as big as Northrop Grumman is today at some point. Being a space stuff only company isn't likely to get them there. Northrop Grumman TTM revenue: $42.3 Billion vs. Rocket Lab TTM revenue: $00.7 Billion Northrop Grumman TTM net income: $4.6 Billion vs. Rocket Lab TTM net loss: -$0.2 Billion (loss) Valuations: NOC: 2x price-to-sales ratio, 17x price-to-earnings ratio RKLB: 122x price-to-sales ratio, no P/E ratio yet because it still loses money Sources: [https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/noc/](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/noc/) [https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rklb/](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rklb/) And one last note about these space stocks in general: We've known the economics of space companies since like the 1970s - they're no great mystery like AI, and they're not huge markets or money-makers. They don't have software margins, they don't have semiconductor margins, and they don't have hyper-scaler margins. In the 2020s, there is no valid fundamental reason for RKLB to be priced higher than NOC (which, by the way, also has a space segment in its business). RLKB at $87B market cap is an insane valuation. Once all this SpaceX IPO hype fades and their shares get unlocked over the next few months, I really do think these space stocks are going to go down and be dead money for a decade or more.

_rockthemike

Sometimes we think we are late here in this sub but I am finding many people here are early to things. Look at WSB 2026 stock picks, fucking called MU, RKLB, and more. Not all winners, the biggest winners were there

MoonshineBaby

Same man. All I’ve ever done is read the shit you regards write about and here I am sitting on ASTS and RKLB I bought years ago. Love y’all!

RazzmatazzPitiful394

Bruh he’ll be taking RKLB profits before SpaceX IPO

AwkwardObjective5360

No it wont. It will at best fuck with RKLB ASTS LUNR etc.

UnableFox374

Hmm so far RKLB doing good for me been a day or two. But $ETC turned out like a drain plug.

balilo79

I had RKLB at 5 and sold at like 6.50 after months of sideways movement. I've been feeling the hate flow, but mostly towards myself.

lindcookie

The last few years have literally been free money tho? All the shit that was peddled here has gone ballistic, ASTS, RKLB, NVDA, POET, MU, GOOG did 120% in a year... fucking SPY is up 27% in a year..... if you're not making money you're either shorting shit with the knowledge stocks only go up or you're actually retarded

CoffeePorters

What? War is great for stocks and DJT has been talking about Golden Dome for months. Long RKLB 🚀🚀🚀

I’m playing: $FLY $ASTS $RKLB $LUNR And even $SPCE All have room to grow and are direct competitors.

RKLB gonna hit 175 tomorrow

BenjMayNe

Do you have any space positions? If so, mind sharing your cost basis on the name(s) - and, I’d assume you’d suggest holding off on deploying any fresh capital into any of these names right now, yeah? I’ve been eyeing RKLB and should have pulled the trigger at $60 most recently but got greedy. I think with the SPCX IPO these names will continue to pump and hopefully come back down to reality shortly after once the hype dies out some.

LaughingIntoTheAbyss

Hey man, it's not too late. Get on the WSB bandwagon! Today it's MU and RKLB, tomorrow it's.... don't worry, we'll tell you.

MU and SNDK make sense still if you believe that memory is structural with this insane CapEx spending that isn’t likely to stop anytime soon. I totally agree with you that ASTS and RKLB are retardedly expensive, what a joke of a market

RKLB to 300

GiantKrakenTentacle

I sold enough RKLB at $100 to break even and am letting the rest of it ride. It really does feel like a game of chicken leading up to SpaceX IPO. Is it gonna crash? Are we going to figuratively *and* literally moon? No fucking clue. I'm gonna sell some before just to lock in some already huge gains and then see what happens. Either way it was a hell of a ride. 

Impossible-Loss-4948

It's like the guys who screenshotted their beautiful RKLB ports at 100 and dipped before the real action started. Rules have changed boys.

Ok_Wealth_3433

Never listen to fucking regards on this app. That absolute idiot that shits on RKLB and ASTS said they were going to single digits and look rn. People still don’t understand that this is a structured move that is necessary to revalue space companies.

imadogg

I wish I had a good story. It's more of a cautionary tale of not knowing anything and fomo Didn't know anything about stocks but my director at the time talked about Gamestop blowing up. I watched it for a few days then got in at the peak I had some homies who were investing and making loads of money in penny stocks. ALPP was their big winner. Check the charts lol... Got in at the peak Put a grand each into a bunch of pennies. Figured one of them has to make me rich. Well the bubble popped, SEC changed some rules, they all died I was down probably 60k, which at the time meant a lot more to me than 60k now. Totally stopped investing for years Last year started investing and going hard into more legit volatile tickers which were still seen as gambles (instead of going full ETF mode). My biggest wins are ASTS, RKLB, LUNR, NBIS, POET, SLS. Oh and I finally sold much of my penny stock losses last year as I sold some company stock post-IPO The only penny that came back from the dead is RITE and I'm keeping it at this point just in case they get good news on the project they're working on

Taillefer1221

I can sympathize. At the time I was looking (early 2022), I made a choice between Rocket Lab and Astra Space. I considered RKLB to be the "safer" option, and against most advice, there seemed to be more upside potential from defense contracts with Astra and I took that risk. Ended up doubling down twice, watched 1 success and 2 launch failures, then held the bag until they went private for pennies. I did, however, manage to buy some ASTS at ~$8. I held that for 3 years, and watched it dwindling away with few positive signs. Convinced I was once again "getting had," I ran out of patience and sold at pretty much rock bottom, near $2, for a 75% loss... ... it recovered within a week of the sale. Then doubled in a month. And then again. And again. And again. All told, if I had diversified from the outset and held--even accepting the ASTR implosion--I would be up over 300K.

I used chatgpt’s advice last year to sell covered calls ok RKLB, shares got called away at $45 :(

morbidshapeinblack

RKLB and Anduril already have a joint venture with DoW for hypersonic defense tests.

newmeintoibanking

Like how the index moves in which the biggest names firstly get hammered. Likewise there can be similar scenarios for RKLB when SPCX listing get beaten down.

futurefloridaman87

You truly are regarded if you think you can move existing taxable RKLB into a Roth. That is impossible. The only thing you could do is contribute cash up to the maximum and buy new shares.

Only a 4% day in RKLB it's truly Joever

SaucedMangoo

Man this stock has made my coworker a couple million. He’s been screaming about it since $4 range as well and went all in really. He’s loves aerospace too. I ended up trading it from 12 to 38 and made some great money off it. I ended up buying him a shirt because of how much it made me. I ended up going long in it around 32. This morning I got into work and I had a RKLB shirt on my desk. Pretty cool circle.

SulaimanGrendel

bought 500 shares of RGTI at $2.40 and sold 200 at $9.50 and 150 at $48.00, still hold the rest for fun. 50 shares of RKLB at $4.50 and then 300 more at $7

Shelby_the_Turd

I bought shares of ASTS @ $5 and RKLB @ $8.

More_Appearance7732

LUNR at like $2. Sold it all at $22, this was back in 2024. Made like $80k at the time, would’ve been more if I held. Kicked myself in the foot for choosing LUNR and not RKLB at $5 at the time, I think RKLB reached like $60 back then. Would’ve made $250k, it is what it is.

Bought ONDS, ASTS, RKLB and HGRAF all below $5 and still holding almost all of the original purchases, trimmed some.

No, I don't excuse your French. I am a French speaker and to say it lightly vous êtes un conard. You have been in the RKLB subreddit for fucking months while shitting on that stock. Now you missed the boat and you are starting to cry. You were bullied on the subreddit so you even decided to sue somebody for hurting your feelings.

Extra_Ad9541

We miss you at the RKLB sub!

nightundertaker

this is actually a great example of turning industry knowledge into conviction. you understood the company and sector enough to hold through volatility, then took real profit instead of trying to be a screenshot hero forever RKLB and similar space names are still high-upside/high-execution-risk stories, so tools like [gridoasis](https://app.gridoasis.com/) are helpful for keeping the thesis grounded in revenue, cash flow, dilution, and margin progress instead of just momentum. selling 70% after a huge gain sounds rational. let the rest ride if you believe in the long-term space cycle

actinium226

If electron can survive and thrive in a world dominated by F9, neutron can thrive in a world dominated by starship. As others have said, RKLB's main thing they have going for it is all the satellite component companies they've bought up and integrated. Launch is a side business.

Inner-Advertising314

RKLB - got a few hundred shares under $5, sold most around $80 to help pay for a down payment on a house. Still holding some. Just wish that I had taken the $2k I put in Google at the same time into RKLB, but that's just me being greedy.

venu_18

Feels like the market is pricing RKLB as a future “space infrastructure winner” instead of valuing current fundamentals. Once momentum + big future narratives take over, stocks can stay disconnected from traditional valuation metrics way longer than people expect.

I love looking at the chart, seeing how my $85 calls that I held for a month expired worthless on 5/15. ASTS then proceeded to rip $20 in the next 2 weeks (and, i completely ignored RKLB this entire time) I am very special.

I’m just going to buy calls on RKLB, ASTS, LUNR, and MU. one month out. screw it. why wouldn’t it work

what's up with RKLB?

vicblaga87

Yeah it's ridiculous at these prices. It's trading at 100x sales (?!?). Looking at analyst estimates, it's valued at 10x 2035 sales which is wtf. For context, Palantir is trading at (only) 3.4x 2035 sales. But this is the stock market, and different people play different games. Not every player is in for the fundamentals, especially in the short / medium term - you have a lot of big money hedge-funds chasing trends, lots of options that need to be hedged, etc. My guess is that RKLB is one of those "trending" stocks where people try to out-do each other in terms of trend following. Kind of like TSLA.

ProofByVerbosity

I'm sad I missed the boat, but I'm fine with RDW and MNTS. getting in on RKLB at 111% P/E seems far too late for me.
