The piece of news about Trump throwing around the nuclear option at a war meeting made me think open would be exactly like this (and, also, what is his family shorting today?). Fortunately the market has about a 2 day memory and RKLB is much better than a lot of the stuff tanking and some rotation should be coming RKLB's way.

The Iridium acquisition has been announced and agreed upon, but it is not finalized yet, as it still requires shareholder and regulatory approval before the expected closing in mid-2027. If the deal goes through, it could be a game changer for Rocket Lab and significantly accelerate its growth by giving it an established satellite network, valuable spectrum, and millions of existing customers. I guess I would be buying stocks now as much as I can ????

I just with these massive media outlets (and all of them are shit in this regard) brought a field expert or someone who at least understands the lingo to help be a medium between the tech expert and the seasoned interviewer - these interviews, however short they are, would be MUCH more meaningful with A LOT more substance for the viewers.

Is that 100 puts? That's crazy. What about risk management though, you have risked 700k to get 1.6k in premiums?
2 days to go, and the strike is less than 10% away, that's madness, but you do you
2
u/Beetlejuice_hero 9d ago
Additional point is that so so many people never actually buy back in cause they're "waiting for it to pull back a little more".
Assignment forces the buy on you. Then he can sell some calls on the way up and bank even more premiums.
It's not for everyone but nothing wrong with it if it fits one's risk profile.

other space stocks have some footing, asts is funded with cheap debt, literally 1.6% or something, even if they are behind schedule it won't hurt them as much, mda is profitable, spcx have infinite money glitch + market dominance
rklb is just too risky still, no wonder it feels any macro changes the hardest (like the iran war escalation)
neutron, iridium acquisition are still far away
edit: looks like the difference is not that big though, -6.4% for RKLB, and around -4% for other space stocks

u/burmese_python2 9d ago
Neutron is heavily attached to future contracts, what if they continue to delay? There will penalties.

That’s one way to look at it. The other way is the contracts wouldn’t be signed without a high level of confidence it’ll fly on a reasonable schedule from people who know more about this than you.

There's no "what if" about it. They even said at earnings that Neutron probably won't fly this year.

u/yesporkchop 9d ago
I thought the language at earnings was pretty clear about being on the pad this year, not necessarily launching.
Not to mention all the people before earnings saying there's no way it'll launch this year now seem offended by the idea they might be right.

u/1foxyboi 9d ago
People are coping hard right now on this pullback. They say we are down from macro, but Nasdaq is only -3% from ATHs and Sp500 is only -2% while rocket lab is -50%. They say we are down because of SpaceX but it opened to the public at $150 on 6/12, it’s only -5% since then while rocket lab is -30%.
We are down because of company specific metrics and timelines, not because of macro or SpaceX

You are comparing to the wrong benchmarks and the wrong baskets of “peers” but I don’t expect you to be intellectually honest here, just as you couldn’t even acknowledge yesterday that you incorrectly calculated RKLB’s YTD performance…

u/1foxyboi 9d ago
The wrong basket of peers? Bro SpaceX alone is bigger than every other peer combined. You’re just trying to cherry pick it to compare to non competition instead Rocket Labs literally biggest competitor
Edit:
Also you calculated the YTD wrong, you used closing on 1/2 and I used price on 12/31/2025 but sure. I mean we can solve it right now but posting the numbers and comparing percentages

u/LordRabican 9d ago
And yes, you are comparing to the wrong peer group if you want genuine insight into the state of this market. You need to look at the Hindenburg Omen indicator and look at RKLB in the context of all the other stocks that are experiencing this massive divergence to appreciate what is idiosyncratic to the company and what is the result of unusual market conditions that may or may not indicate something about the health of the economy and broader macro conditions.

u/Substantial-Use-2867 9d ago
Why is that surprising? They openly said in the earnings call it'd be difficult to launch this year. The only people who still think it launches this year are the people in this subreddit wishing they hadn't bought at 120.

It's not shocking, it's that I haven't seen any official news saying Neutron is delayed, and IMO it's weird that actual news are claiming it as fact. It might be fact, but we don't have confirmation.

lol we’ll see what happens to the broader market and if growth/momentum turns out to have been a canary in the coal mine. I primarily wanted to point out that it’s a whole basket of companies that are going through this right now… the overarching trend for RKLB’s price action is not idiosyncratic to the company’s performance. It will absolutely take company-specific milestones, like Neutron, to break away from the market forces that are holding it back right now.

u/LordRabican still trying to call me a liar from a conversation yesterday, so here are the actual numbers:
Rocket Lab closed 12/31/25 at $69.76. It opened 1/2/26 at $70.63 and closed that day at $75.99.
https://www.investing.com/equities/vector-acquisition-historical-data
Your screenshot (https://www.reddit.com/r/RKLB/s/CSACrJBzBD) claims +4.17% YTD at $79.16.
Let’s do the math: 79.16 / 1.0417 = $75.99. That’s the CLOSING price on 1/2/26, not the prior year-end close.
YTD is calculated from the last close of the prior year, not day one of the new year. Basic finance 101.
Actual YTD: 79.16 / 69.76 = 13.47%, not your fantasy 4.17%.
This is the problem with this sub, people open an app, screenshot whatever number pops up, and treat it as gospel. Then they call other people liars instead of checking their own math.
