On June 25, Rocket Lab USA fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $81.44/share, with turnover of $616 million. The decline came as space industry leader SpaceX continued its post-IPO pullback, having fallen more than 20% from its prior highs, triggering a broad cooldown in valuation expectations and risk appetite across the space commercialization sector.
As a key name within the space sector, Rocket Lab has been under sustained pressure from SpaceX's capital siphoning effect since SpaceX debuted with a market cap exceeding $2 trillion. The stock had briefly rebounded approximately 6.65% in overnight trading due to short-term oversold conditions, but weakened again during the regular session, indicating that the suppressive effect of SpaceX's valuation correction on sector sentiment remains in force. Other space stocks including Redwire, AST SpaceMobile, and Intuitive Machines have also experienced notable declines in recent sessions.
Notably, Rocket Lab was recently added to the Nasdaq-100 Index, and KeyBanc previously upgraded the stock to overweight with a $135 price target, arguing that the sector pullback represents short-term technical pressure rather than fundamental deterioration.
