RKLB down 35% in a month on zero bad news, generational buying opportunity or are we the exit liquidity?
RKLB has declined 35% in a month despite no negative news, a $2.2B backlog, and a new $266M contract. The author views this as a potential generational buying opportunity driven by tape-wide selling rather than company-specific deterioration.

An unprofitable Rocket Lab (RKLB) is buying a bigger, profitable company for $8B.
Rocket Lab, an unprofitable company trading at ~85x sales, is acquiring profitable Iridium for ~$8B using stock and debt to gain an operating constellation. The thesis is questioned as uncertain: the deal could be a brilliant arbitrage play if Rocket Lab can manage the debt load, but it's risky if the company can't outrun obligations before Neutron (its key growth catalyst) successfully launches in Q4 2026, especially given recent setbacks in qualification testing.

RKLB Long Position and Discussion
Rocket Lab is a long-term fundamental holding with superior management (Peter Beck, Adam Spice) and a dominant position in small payload launches. Neutron's expansion into mid-size payloads combined with satellite manufacturing assets positions RKLB across the entire space economy value chain, and at current valuations appears underpriced relative to SpaceX's ~$1.75T valuation.
