Rocket Lab (RKLB) shares closed at $64.39 on August 28 after a sharp 4.6% decline and seven-session slide that erased roughly $10 billion in market cap, reflecting trader focus on execution risks for the Neutron medium-lift rocket whose debut has slipped into Q4 2026 or later amid Stage 1 tank issues. Record Q2 revenue of $234 million (up 62% year-over-year) and a $2.36 billion backlog (up 137%) underscore accelerating defense and launch contracts, including multiple U.S. Space Force awards, yet ongoing GAAP losses, elevated valuation near 65 times trailing sales, and regulatory uncertainty surrounding the proposed $8 billion Iridium acquisition continue to pressure implied probabilities for near-term price recovery. The immediate week of August 31 features no scheduled earnings or major launches, leaving sentiment anchored to any fresh Neutron timeline updates or broader space-sector flows.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (RKLB) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.RKLB%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.RKLB%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
