Rocket Lab 'A'

Morgan Stanley reportedly rates Rocket Lab as undervalued and sets a price target of $105, implying roughly 63% upside. The company shows strong growth with record revenue of USD 234 million in Q2 (+62%) and a backlog of USD 2.36 billion, but continues to post losses (net loss USD 49.3 million; operating cash flow H1: -USD 134.4 million) with cash and equivalents of USD 2.13 billion. Crucial for the valuation are the successful completion of the Neutron test phase and regulatory approvals for the Iridium takeover, both of which are still pending. » Mere på finanzen.net
