Rocket Lab Sees 'More Upside' on Neutron Prices as Launch Demand Outstrips Supply
RKLB has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $37.57.
Summary
Management signaled pricing power on Neutron launches, with CFO Adam Spice stating 'more upside to ASPs than certainly to anything considered down or sideways.' The rocket is priced at $50M-$55M per launch, and the company has avoided discounting early missions. With launch capacity constrained and post-2029 slots 'extremely limited,' Rocket Lab sees room to raise prices as demand firms up. This follows yesterday's Q2 report showing 62% revenue growth and a $2.36B backlog, but the pricing commentary is new and directly impacts future revenue per launch. Neutron's first flight is targeted for Q4 2026, though the window is narrowing.
