Rocket Lab Q2 Revenue Hits ~$230M, Wins $981M Space Force IDIQ
RKLB sits 78% above its 52-week low of $37.57.
Summary
Rocket Lab's Q2 revenue reached approximately $230M, a $30M sequential jump from Q1 and roughly 60% year-over-year growth, signaling accelerating demand. The company also secured a position on a $981M IDIQ contract vehicle with the U.S. Space Force, covering test ranges, engineering, and national-security infrastructure — a significant expansion of its government backlog. This follows a string of high-impact events: record Q1 results, Nasdaq-100 inclusion, and the $8B Iridium acquisition announced in late June. The Space Force win adds a multi-year, high-value revenue stream that strengthens the defense vertical. Full-year guidance of ~$918M and consensus next-year revenue of $1.27B suggest the growth trajectory remains steep. With Neutron still on track for Q4 2026, the combination of commercial and government momentum keeps the story intact.
