Rocket Lab (RKLB) stock fell 39% between mid-June and September 10, while the S&P 500 gained 2.4%. The stock fell 39%—about twice as far as L3Harris Technologies, down 18.9%, and far more than Lockheed Martin, down 1.3%, and Northrop Grumman, down 5.3%—suggesting company-specific headwinds compounded broader sector softness.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) trades near $64, about 57% below the high it set inside the last year, though it is still up 49.5% over twelve months against 19.7% for the S&P 500.
