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. » Altro su finanzen.net

Rocket Lab has founded Rocket Lab Germany GmbH, acquired Mynaric, and plans to build production and its full portfolio in Germany. COO Frank Klein sees Germany/Europe as a growth market and intends to close the gap with the USA and China through additional launches, including the soon-expected 100th Electron launch and the first Neutron launch. The company wants to support European infrastructure but rules out a rocket launch site in Germany due to geographical constraints. » Altro su faz.net
