Needham analyst Ryan Koontz reiterated a Buy rating and $120.00 price target on Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ: RKLB).
The analyst comments "On October 14 RKLB CEO Sir Peter Beck announced a further delay of Neutron's maiden launch. The company discovered small air pockets ("voids") had developed on the forward dome of its booster fuel tank made of carbon composite. These voids weaken the structure of the dome. The problem has been corrected in its manufacturing process, but the setback means Neutron will incur a minimum 4 month delay for qualification test and assembly. When key tests of the new design are

Stifel Reiterates Buy Rating on Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) on Long-Term Opportunity

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 09:42:30 -0400

Stifel analyst Erik Rasmussen reiterated a Buy rating and $132.00 price target on Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ: RKLB).
The analyst commented, "Rocket Lab’s provided an update to Neutron, with its first launch now expected to slip into 2027; we do not believe the details materially alter the long-term investment thesis. The delay stems from a manufacturing quality issue identified during inspection of a forward propellant dome, not from a fundamental problem with Neutron. Importantly, management believes it has identified the root cause and corrective actions, with mitigations already in place. While we now see increased risk that Neutron’s commercialization curve shifts
