Needham Starts Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) at Buy

Needham analyst Ryan Koontz initiates coverage on Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ: RKLB) with a Buy rating and a price target of $28.00.

The analyst commented: "RKLB is a disruptive company in the fast-evolving space sector. Their deep vertical integration differentiates the company and puts RKLB in a prime position to challenge market leader SpaceX. Their Space Systems business, supplying turn-key satellite buses and subsystems, is benefiting from strong growth in government and commercial LEO constellation launches. Profits from Space Systems fund the company's Launch business, already proven for small-lift with its Electron rocket, and is soon expected to enter medium-lift launch with Neutron. Electron has reached maturity now with over 60 successful launches, while Neutron is expected to complete its first commercial missions in C26 and deliver on re-usability. Successful Neutron launches and wins vs SpaceX are expected to meaningfully improve revenue, earnings and cash flow beginning in C26."
