SpaceX’s lockup expiration threatens to more than double its public float.

The rescheduled flight would mark Rocket Lab’s 92nd overall launch, its 13th Electron mission of 2026 and its eighth launch for iQPS.

Today, Aug. 5, 2026, the reusable rocket provider's first public earnings report revealed widening losses despite strong top-line results.

The deal covers development, launch, and operation of Rocket Lab's flat satellite design as part of a broader $615 million award to three contractors

SpaceX has designs to leverage its dominant position in the space business into a dominant position in AI and communications. SpaceX stock, for starters, was down about 12% at $110. Nvidia shares were up 3.1% partly because SpaceX is using their chips for its Starmind AI computing satellites.

SpaceX delivered a blockbuster revenue beat in its first public earnings report, yet shares are cratering while every other space stock barely flinches. What spooked investors has nothing to do with rockets and everything to do with a number buried deep in the capex line.

Rocket Lab Lands $397 Million Space Force Contract

Tesla has the bigger name, but I think Rocket Lab is the smarter long-term innovation stock to own today.

Rocket Lab was awarded a $397 million contract to build, launch, and operate advanced Flatellites for the U.S. Space Force's SB-AMTI program. The award expands Rocket Lab's role in military space applications and is expected to draw on its Neutron launch system. Rocket Lab, NasdaqGS:RKLB, is moving deeper into defense work with this multi hundred million dollar U.S. Space Force contract. The stock trades at $74.47 and has returned 16.6% over the past week and 66.4% over the past year. Over...

Rocket Lab will develop advanced “Flatellites” equipped with space-based sensors and low-latency, high-bandwidth communications.

SpaceX and Rocket Lab are both compelling space stocks, but one has a much stronger case for long-term investors.

There's no doubt that SpaceX is the 800-pound gorilla in the space market. It essentially invented the modern space business by pioneering reusable rockets. SpaceX was up 9.1% at $124.99 in midday trading.

SpaceX revenue growth is seen ramping up, but capex too. Elon Musk may detail Falcon 9, Starship and Tesla plans.

Space stocks are surging ahead of SpaceX's first-ever public earnings report, but with prediction markets flagging a 70% chance of a miss and a 911-million-share lockup expiry days away, traders face a tense setup that could cut either way.

Ark Invest added to three existing positions on Monday, with two of them still trading for half of last year's peak.

Iridium's 23.2% three-month rally draws on recurring service growth and expansion plans, but weaker earnings, valuation and deal risks cloud its outlook.

IRDM's recurring service base and new satellite platforms widen its growth runway, but weaker earnings, leverage and deal uncertainty raise the bar.

Rocket Lab stock is well off its high again, and its shock record says the most serious damage comes from rate moves rather than from anything on the launch pad.

Growth is a hallmark of all great companies, but the laws of gravity eventually take hold. Those who rode the COVID boom and ensuing tech selloff in 2022 will surely remember that the market’s punishment can be swift and severe when trajectories fall.

Rocket Lab burns cash while scaling, while Caterpillar converts revenue into billions in free cash flow, a stark contrast in financial maturity.

SpaceX reports its first-ever quarterly earnings Tuesday while a wave of insider shares looms on the horizon, and both events could dramatically reshape the stock and rattle the entire space sector.

One company controls satellite components; the other bets everything on a rocket that hasn't flown yet.

Rocket Lab is rapidly transforming from a launch company into a diversified space business, positioning it for profits and strong free cash flow as early as next year.

Globalstar rose nearly 3% in July, outperforming a space sector in which several peers lost more than one-third of their value.

The sky may not be the limit for the company, which provides satellite launch services.

Rocket Lab may have found a new field for hypergrowth: defending the U.S. from hypersonic missiles.

SpaceX shares have lost about $1.2 trillion in value since its IPO, triggering a sector-wide sell-off in space stocks like Rocket Lab as investors demand stronger balance sheets.

The space stock's three-year return laps the market many times over. What the pullback changed deserves just as much attention.

Peter Beck already loves this acquisition. Rocket Lab investors should be even happier.

Both companies are unprofitable and burning cash, but their balance sheets and risk profiles tell very different stories for 2026.
