RKLB

TrackEfficient1613

Selling a short call reduces your overall cost so you can buy more long calls. Essentially you are controlling more shares for a given amount of money than buying shares outright. Also you can roll the pmcc’s if the price increases. If the stock doesn’t go up you can make money when extrinsic value of the short call erodes on a pmcc so there are multiple ways to make money with it. For example I have a pmcc on RKLB for April at $50/$100. I own calls at $50 and sold calls at $100. If RkLB is at $100 in April I make $1677 in extrinsic value on the short call and lose $197 in extrinsic value on the long call plus the difference of 10K-5K. Right now the trade costs $3150 to enter and the max profit is $5000-$3150=$1850 plus the premium of the long call which is $1674 so $3518. Yes gains are capped but because it’s leveraged and higher risk you can make more than owning the stock outright. If I really like a stock I’ll buy shares, sell some calls on it, sell some csps on the ones I sold a call on to make a strangle, and do some pmcc’s as well. I’m doing this now with PL.

I’m feeling extra great bb. Lunr and RKLB through the roof while papa Rivian making everyone sad 

No_Turnover_5018

Just want to add in here that the financials are really strong. I work for a 3rd party admin firm that services VCs that held both PLTR and RKLB.

Andromeda_0507

I didn't sell my RKLB calls and bought some AAPL.... Does anyone feel bad for me or no :(

Sleep18hoursaday

I do the high strike price with two of my stocks when they have a 6% or higher on a day and thus I look at not only collecting premiums but also like you not selling if they have pull back. I also if the stocks gets close to my exercise price I’ll buy 100 shares of said stock. Has been working with mRNA and RKLB so far

RKLB $9000 ❌️ 10,000X return on 0dte calls on RKLB 🤑.✅️

explorer_soul99

Here's what the execution data shows: **Revenue Scale & Growth (Q3'25):** - RKLB: $155M revenue, +48% YoY, 37% gross margin - ASTS: $14.7M revenue (first real quarter), 63% gross margin RKLB has 10x the revenue base with consistent 40-50% growth. ASTS just had its first meaningful revenue quarter. **Path to Profitability (Q3'25):** - RKLB: -$18M net loss (vs -$52M Q3'24): nearly broke even - ASTS: -$123M net loss (vs -$172M Q3'24): still burning heavily on satellite deployment **Cash Runway:** - RKLB: $808M cash, ~$70M quarterly burn = ~11 quarters runway - ASTS: $1.2B cash, ~$300M quarterly burn = ~4 quarters runway RKLB is closer to proving unit economics work. They're launching rockets, signing contracts, and nearly cash-flow positive. The question is whether Neutron scales their TAM. ASTS is still proving the technology works at scale. Huge revenue jump this quarter, but the capex-heavy satellite deployment phase isn't over. Higher variance outcome. Both have the cash to execute their near-term plans. The difference is where they are on the S-curve.

Purpletorque

I am a long term ASZtS investor and sold a lot of stuff to buy this at $50 and RKLB at $40 recently. Already back in cash waiting to do it again. But I maintain my same long term position in ASTS.

1foxyboi

RKLB $9000

Purpletorque

Me too. Sitting on cash ready to pounce. Did this last month with RKLB at $40 and sold at $76. Left some on the table but sill big profits as a lot was in Leaps.

Sleep18hoursaday

My question is why not buy those same stocks when you think they will be called away or will be? That’s what I did on RKLB and MRNA.

Barbie_and_KenM

Got my ASTS, RKLB, COIN, and others called away at rock bottom prices compared to today. The few hundred or thousand bucks I made was not worth it compared to what I would have now just holding. Don't sell CCs on high growth or meme stocks. You can on low volatility ones but the premium is barely worth it.

AnotherHavanesePlz

Yeah, I should have bought RKLB earlier, but oh well. Better late than never if it ends up trading at 200-$300 eventually.

Overall_Option_8883

Not sure I want to see how the sector does, I'm also long ASTS and RKLB. Definitely would with 20 percent pull back in the short term 

isomojo

Yeah, I’d be happy if it dips under $10. But honestly I don’t really care about $1-$2 dip. I’d rather just buy some at $12 and have them then regret it when it randomly pops to $25 one day and I’m kicking myself. Honestly think it can hit $25B market cap by EOY 5x upside. ONDS looking at $200M revenue next year and RKLB had $500M~ revenue and is sitting at $50B market cap.

Top_Category_2526

yeah nothing against RKLB...but you have companies like OKLO, ASTS, IONQ....ETC pure scum

Smile-Nod

You're thinking of ASTS. RKLB will get close to a billion in revenue this year.

captainri66

Lanteris (used to be called Maxar) has a bigger revenue and better industry reputation for its satellites than RKLB space systems. RKLB space systems is 75% of RKLB entire revenues, or about $400 million a year. Lanteris/Maxar is $650 million a year business, and profitable or cash flow positive. They supply the satellite busses to L3Harris SDA and golden dome, that's their foot in the door with the defense department. Better overall business than Lunr's NASA contracts.

x24447

What to buy IREN or RKLB ?

peter_lynch_jr

I've not looked at ASTS but RKLB is currently trading at 50x sales, yeah I get it's got big growth potential ahead of it but they need to be heading towards the $20+ billion in revenue to justify current valuations (space companies typically trade at 1-2x sales) so that's years of double digit growth.

PokemonAnimar

I started investing during the gamestop craze when I bought AMC (and made a few hundred bucks in profit before it tanked). After that I just bought a few shares here and there of things I thought would do good, but most of those pretty much became worthless. ASTS was the first one I bought about 2 years ago when I decided to get back into investing again, and basically since that time I only heavily invested in ASTS, RKLB, and recently ONDS, with a few minor positions in some uranium stocks. But yeah, for the most part ASTS was the first thing I bought after deciding to invest seriously 

ilikebulls

I like RKLB, but what specifically did you inhale or ingest? Be specific.

Hydroxsid

I should buy more $RKLB. currently hold 224 shares. goal is 500. is it even worth attempting? I got in at $4 a share and have an avrg buy of $7 . sitting at 1100% gains so far. I'm in love?

SuperNewk

RKLB is the best bet. Imagine if the USA turns their rockets into weapons, will be unstoppable 5k a share if that happens

mikeylikesit47

MDA for sure. RKLB and ASTS are WAY more expensive and priced for perfection. MDA looks like a very appealing catch up trade and bad news (ie losing an Echostar contract) is already priced in.

Jokkmokkens

In my mind you really can’t compare OKLO, the biggest “what if’s” on the market with ASTS and RKLB. OKLO is still a dream on paper. ASTS have proven tech, they just need to execute now and we’ll se how the business model holds up. RKLB is a real company delivering real products and services, not even near OKLO.

Sleep18hoursaday

I have 1400 shares of RKLB that’s why I do CCs on 1000 shares weekly as long as it has one of those 6%+ days. Is the amount of shares you hold a consideration on why you don’t?

ksing_king

Which one including mda, in the list plus the rocket companies do you think are the best right now? I’m afraid of RKLB and asts cause the valuations are too high now so the risk is high. Still trying to choose one with lower risk profiles

Heavy_Design8286

Idk. I bought 500 shares of RKLB at 3.50 in 2021. BITF gives me the same vibe.

Foreign-Teacher-9931

Instead of arguing, I will reply to your post in two years. Just fyi. I have been in RKLB since it was $5 and invested majority of my net worth in $ASTS since it was $20! I know what I own.

Sleep18hoursaday

I generally go further out for instance on RKLB I went 92, 94 and 96 x3. I don’t mind getting assigned at those prices as I made good money when it went up and will RKlb pull back a lot once it hits the psychological 100 level or Trump lol

Starkfault

I started the year with $25k and had the goal of $30k by EOY. After two weeks of RKLB fds i’m at $42k and i’m not sure what to do so i’ve been yeeting the gains at $FEPI and buying more RKLB fds

fuckthis_job

I guess I'm just skeptical. I do believe ASTS and RKLB have room to grow, but that they're heavily overvalued similar to other companies like OKLO. They likely will continue to rise in value but that doesn't mean that they necessarily are a "good" company similarly to CVNA.

RockmanMike

I sold 1500 shares of OPEN when it tanked thinking it would never recover. My cost basis was like 0.50. The only thing saving my ass is RKLB shares plus POET calls. Bought IBRX(?) calls because it looks like it's starting to run.

makeammends

A lot of replies in many posts like this one break down into two camps: One from the holders who already got in early, and the other from those watching it moon with uncertainty and/or regret. Sure, it's a stress-free no brainer to hold RKLB and ASTS when your cost basis is like $5/sh. I have some of those shares, and last month even added to my RKLB pile by exercising $5C LEAPs long held, up 1000's of %. A good idea, but more lucky than I planned, as those converted shares have already nearly doubled in price since. And I'll continue to hold. As for the latecomers, I'm with them too, last week finally buying in a healthy amount of PL, RDW, then LUNR. I think each was at or near 52-wk highs. The momentum made me jump in, even while expecting pullbacks later that could make me sorry. But I bet that these grow plenty in the next year+ as the whole Space field becomes even more in focus for the increasingly important role/s it will play in data for AI, comms, agri, defense, enviro, and maybe more. At some point you just got to throw down your chips. GL!

DisastrousPlantain51

Lol way better plays on reddit. In 24hrs IBRX, IMSR, DFTX, RKLB, ASTS, RTX, BTC, MSTR, EVTV, RDW and many more options have been mentioned on reddit with way more potential than FLWS..

JeanSneaux

First off, you didn’t fuck up the execution. You did the smart thing. The fact that it shot up after doesn’t change that. Second, it’s very unlikely you would have waited until it was up 400% to sell. If you felt good selling at 100% then imagine how you’d have felt at 125% or 150%? I sold 3/4 of my Nvidia at $20 because it had already gone 4x at that point. I felt the same you did now. But other opportunities will come. I’m now up 5x on ASTS and RKLB now and sold enough last week to recoup my cost basis, but letting the rest ride.

DrSeuss1020

“Only the fool trips on what’s behind him”. Just enjoy the ones you get. I sold PLTR at $8, RKLB at $30, CVNA at $10 and many many more.

DisgrunltedDan

How much longer till can short RKLB?  I know I know ur all excited and bullish. But the time will come . 

Rav_3d

I thought SNDK was ridiculously extended and a pullback was imminent when it was half its current price. We never have any idea how far momentum will take any stock or sector. With ASTS and RKLB around 100, it’s interesting to note that a large majority of stocks that break $100 go on to hit $120 fairly quickly. Selling a huge winner too soon is a big mistake many investors make.

DrizzlyShrimp36

RKLB jumped to 70$ (17% in one day) a few weeks ago and I sold thinking that a 17% jump was unsustainable and that obviously a pullback would follow. Been kicking myself since. In hindsight I'd have much preferred to ride it out, put cash on the side and buy when it dips. So no, buy good stocks and hold them for a really long time.

Thea8507

RKLB has already had a big run (as you know). Anything else you’re watching right now?

Celticsmoneyline

The main thesis of RKLB is this new rocket that hasn't even flown yet. maybe it is priced in now, maybe it gets delayed again, but what if it doesn't and they get to orbit and everything on the first try? seems risky

BusyWorkinPete

No RKLB or ASTS for you, both fail gate 1.

1foxyboi

How high does RKLB run up before neutron and how much higher does it go after a successful launch?

x24447

Is RKLB a buy?

Gydvinn

ASTS and RKLB were the obvious plays, congrats to everyone who held. At this point, the only real moonshot-type tech name I’m watching is Ondas. Hope they execute and make it.

Historical_Air_8997

Since you’re new to investing a couple things should be mentioned. Year end is weird: lots of people tax loss harvesting, some selling winners to counter losses, overall volume is lower, and a lot of the pros are on vacation letting the B or C team take control for a bit. There’s also re-weighting asset managers will pile into momentum stocks so they can show their clients the portfolio and be like “look we have RKLB and it did so good last year!” Then beginning of the year the pros come back from Vacation, some etf and portfolios will reallocate and reweight for the beginning of the year. Lots of reasons for Nov-Feb to be kinda wacky. Also this year we’re expecting pretty big tax returns, so think March-April might get wacky too esp for high beta/momentum stocks as people cash in their tax returns and gamble on stocks.

H_o

Check RKLB financials

pratom

Same same. I bought RKLB 2 years ago: at 200% I trimmed to shares in half and so im just holding with house money now.

MrFrog65

Explain how ASTA and RKLB are overvalued

DrestinBlack

In ASTS since $3, much later to RKLB but still a cozy 4x. Holding both til I *need* the money. I don’t see either coming even close to my CB, ever.

> primary stocks like RKLB, ASTS, and LUNR If you think those are primary stocks, I have some phenomenal investment opportunities for you.

teh_herper

RKLB or ASTS, but I suppose the ship (or rocket) has sailed for now

waffleZaffle

I’ve been super depressed about RKLB had 200 shares at 17$ sold them all when it hit 25 for profit, didn’t think it’d push further, and when I checked in on it a few months later it had fallen back down to the 18$ mark. Took a peak last month and saw how much it had climbed. Massive jaw drop moment.

Intrepid_Parsley_769

So guys, RKLB is at 96$. Is this the time to take profit?? Like it’s at the high of the price targets estimates

Moepenmoes

Just a warning, I'm about to buy RKLB and whatever I buy tends to crash afterwards.

CoughRock

they should spent on 0dte RKLB call.

kickinwood

I'm in now because I was in early. I will hold because I hold everything. I'm not a trader. But the reason I searched out RKLB at 4 is because I wanted to see if I could find my generations Apple. Computers were all known quantities (I didn't know AI would do what it has done) so what is next? Space. People want shit up there. Sure you had Elon doing his stuff and NASA. Unfortunate equivalents at the time. But who makes it happen for anyone for a price? RKLB. So I'm a hold? I'm not adding at this price. But the idea of them becoming a big thing just makes sense to an idiot like me.

maximum1977

RKLB launched more than 20 rockets to Orbit last year. No single failure. They got a government contract over 800m for another 20 launches or so. The tech works.

EarlyYouth8418

RKLB, ASTS, KRKNF, AUR 5 years->retire

EmbarrassedEscape757

Sold RKLB after 1300% gain, but I'm positive they will grow bigger. However, a pullback will come

EmbarrassedEscape757

Bought RKLB at 6$. Sold today at 98$. Mixed feelings, but gains are gains.

fab17888

Agree, if you look at reaaons for past failures, all are easily fixable. They have had successes, indicating their tech works when done right. People shit on them because of idiot Astra ceo comment about their engines, fact is their reaver engines and first stage has 6/7 full success rate, failing only on flight 1 due to a loose wire. Astra is a failed company that couldnt even get a rocket 1/10 the size of alpha into orbit and the failed ceo is just trying to shift blame. Recent management changes point to improvements in the human element. Transitioning to block 2 for mass manufacturing + moving to in house parts indicates moving in the right direction. Their lunar lander is only matched by intuitve machines, literally a duopoly in the medium term. Scitec + elytra = huge diversification and revenue potential MLV vehicle almost same timing as rklb neutron, probably by end 2026 or early 2027. Market has priced them for failure but if they can show success this year, it will massively rerate to rklb style valuation. Theres speculation they will merge with redwire once their alpha is more proven and stock price is up. Fly and redwire share the same majority owner. This would literally create a new space giant with full vertical integration that everyone else has to buy from. I fully agree RKLB is the better company, but after the 20x runup, it is fully valued. Fly as the runner up priced for failure has 10x potential if execution is right. I have gotten downvotes here for supporting firefly from people who "have worked there and wouldnt touch it with a pole" or they point to failed astra ceo comments, but no negative comments can actually back up their negative sentiment with facts. I believe fly is massively undervalued. It was a damn steal at 20 and i accumulated at those levels, now just spradically adding. The explosion in september gave a huge buying opportunity and the buying window at these levels will forever close IF flight 7 goes well. If not, just another buying oportunity.

ChronicScroll3r

Why would it pull back, SpaceX IPO will actually give these companies higher valuation, if SpaceX ipos over $1trillion RKLB is a mini SpaceX, be valued atleast 1/10th = $100bill

Silverfox6400

Thought I was bad. Bought RKLB at $40 in November/25 and sold at $55 2-3 weeks later. Now it’s almost $100

mango-goldfish

I think RKLB will get back to around 70 in a big dip, then continue forward.

Ctofaname

RKLB despacced 4 years ago. A significant number of people were aware of it and some people deep dived it. The business is easy to understand and the development milestones they were working too. Its not let me yolo this company off a random reddit comment. Its let me yolo this company in a sector I understand that I have been monitoring for 2 years.

Stoocpants

The stock is still undervalued imo, the financials are consistently great, the pay a dividend, and they're leading the Small Modular Reactor and Lunar Reactor race with government support from both the US and UK. At around $13 a share. Meanwhile, you have a stocks like RKLB (which I've also bagheld since 2023) which just hit $90 without even being profitable yet. Or Palantir, which had a P/E of 700 last year at some point and barely makes enough to justify its existence, let alone its near $180 price. Anyone buying RR is still early, and will be swimming in Reactor money when the space boom properly rockets and everyone is rushing to buy their stuff to support the infrastructure.

Imaginary-Pool-9710

2 years ago my feed was all RKLB ASTS BKSY and PL for some reason. bought all of them. They run my whole portfolio lol

yellowstickypad

I have a tiny amount of RKLB compared to OP but for some glimmering hope for you, I have bought into RKLB 9 times over 2023/2024. RKLB and PLTR are my long term plays that are cornerstone for my retirement account. Sometimes you just gotta risk it and keep buying in. Do I wish I went balls deep? Hell yeah, but I’m glad I have what I have for now.

IndividualSociety429

Only 82 at the moment, but buying regularly. My portfolio is 95% broad market ETF because my risk tolerance seems to be lower than a lot of people here. RKLB is my 1 single company conviction play.

bacongolf432

Does this mean RKLB is approaching its max stock price?

Iunatic

People were asking this when ASTS and RKLB were around $20.

octopus_serenader

All of space and drones are pumping, where you been? RKLB and ASTS getting expensive, may correct. PL LUNR RDW SPIR are still cheap. KTOS getting expensive, but ONDS and RCAT still cheap.

DieCastDontDie

A friend did this with a line of credit in Canada and his RRSP. Guess what he invested in, PLTR and RKLB. Looks like luck favours the fool these days. They all belong behind Wendy's and eventually their stupidity will catch up

3381024

I cant talk about others, but I saw ASTS posts and I saw it take off. I work in tech, and i simultaneously saw my customers talking about Satellite Networking. I saw Starlink turn off service for Ukraine during missions. I saw Planet Labs imagery being used for post-war assessment in Pakistan-India war. I saw Apple strike a deal with gsat. All these point to future potential of Space based civillian and military pplications. So I steadily built a (small) portfolio of sspace stocks (RKLB @ 6.66, PL@ 4.5, MAXQF @ 2cents, SIDU, GSAT, SATL). Almost everything paid off. I took some principal out from space stocks and letting the rest run. I'm not selling the RKLB, PL, MAXQF i have left for the foreseeable future.

MelvinDeezNuts

ASTS/RKLB blessed be. SPACEX potential IPO, ASTS satellite constellation launch, Neutron maiden launch, Hypersonic missile tech, them leo satellites though, and probably many other catalysts I'm missing, 2026's Space Sector run is going to be epic.

CriticalBlackberry90

Remember when NVDA pumped to 210 and was looking invincible and then it dumped and now is static. Same is going to happen next week. Big Don, Griffin, and the other big boys are going to take all the RKLB/ASTS/PL bulls to the cleaners.

TheSmokingLamp

Except for the homies investing in thinks like Nvidia and ASTS and RKLB who bought at $6 and held to over $100 etc

pspahn

I saw some post about RKLB when it was like $6 and threw a few hundred at it cause I had some gains from juicy LUMN calls. I should have maxed the CC though.

TheStorm007

There were posts about ASTS/RKLB years ago.

Bizonistic

So far I have been doing mostly CSP, I just set a buy order for 45 - 50% profit and forget about it. They are all stocks I don't mind owning long-term so there is the peace of mind. Also got lucky that both RKLB and ASTS started pumping within a few days of selling CSP

BeneficialQuality899

RKLB investor here. I’m not jumping ship. I’ll still invest in SpaceX if they do actually become public though.

Mr_Pattagucci

Sure, RKLB

trackdaybruh

At least you got in I saw RKLB at $4 and was on the fence and thought it was undervalued, but decided not to because I thought the market didn’t see any value in it which is why it was $4 and I doubted myself

Tricky-Ad-6225

Full ported into RKLB at $49 then borrowed some CAD to buy some MDA 2 days ago. Space is going wild this year!

Operative66

it must’ve been on wallstreetbets where someone asked “what are you intvesting in” and someone said PL, i previously found RKLB through the same way and it did good so i thought why not. from there, the next earnings call looked promising so i sold some RKLB and put into PL

Makemoney-101

Jared Isaacman, as the current NASA Administrator, has professional ties to Rocket Lab, viewing them as a key player in the burgeoning commercial space sector, and even visited their new Neutron launchpad, but his closest space ties are with SpaceX (SpaceX), where he's an investor, customer, and past crew member, though he sees value in companies like Rocket Lab building capabilities for future missions. Isaacman's vision for NASA promotes innovation from companies like Rocket Lab, which builds and launches rockets in-house, aligning with his goal for a robust commercial space industry to support exploration. Key Connections: Professional Alignment: Isaacman's plans for NASA emphasize leveraging private companies like Rocket Lab (RKLB) to develop and operate space missions end-to-end, reducing reliance on traditional contractors. Site Visit: NASA Administrator Isaacman visited Rocket Lab's new Neutron launchpad at Wallops, signaling support for their capabilities. Project Athena: A plan Isaacman drafted earlier mentioned Rocket Lab (Rocket Lab) and other commercial space firms as potential partners for NASA goals. "Move Fast" Mentality: Isaacman's push for early risk-taking and innovation aligns with the startup ethos of SpaceX (SpaceX) and Rocket Lab, unlike traditional aerospace, notes this article.

Fancy_Cattle_5914

Exactly. Regardless, the "future revenue" these dudes are talking about is exactly that. Pulling forward this amount of growth is never healthy. I'm glad average joes made money on this, as I did with Palantir, but even I'm not stupid enough to hesitate on admitting that the valuation on names like ASTS, PLTR, RKLB isn't healthy for the market.

HolyX_87

I got int at 6.40$ for at RKLB. I should bought alot more.

nics-name

Silver or ASTS/RKLB, it’s been free money

IndividualSociety429

I agree and that's what I'm holding on to RKLB as a long term play for 10+ years. As far as I understand private space services are dominated by SpaceX with RKLB and Blue Origin behind them. I'm 29 and I know space services is going to take a while to mature as an industry, but I'm hoping holding RKLB could be my equivalent of "I bought into MSFT in 2003 and now I've retired early".

SpecificImpossible45

Smh I was thinking this same thing today after seeing RKLB🥲

Keef--Girgo

I've been long ASTS since NPA days. Finally flipped to a short position today. I'll probably get my face ripped off. But they are way too reliant on New Glenn executing perfectly. Long term ASTS and RKLB are definitely a buy. Short term I think their market caps are bonkers.

TheIrrationalTurtle

Any investment subreddit really has become a RKLB/ASTS cult overload lol the hive mind is wild to see.
