Rocket Lab Lands $397 Million Space Force Contract

Tesla has the bigger name, but I think Rocket Lab is the smarter long-term innovation stock to own today.

Rocket Lab was awarded a $397 million contract to build, launch, and operate advanced Flatellites for the U.S. Space Force's SB-AMTI program. The award expands Rocket Lab's role in military space applications and is expected to draw on its Neutron launch system. Rocket Lab, NasdaqGS:RKLB, is moving deeper into defense work with this multi hundred million dollar U.S. Space Force contract. The stock trades at $74.47 and has returned 16.6% over the past week and 66.4% over the past year. Over...

SpaceX and Rocket Lab are both compelling space stocks, but one has a much stronger case for long-term investors.

There's no doubt that SpaceX is the 800-pound gorilla in the space market. It essentially invented the modern space business by pioneering reusable rockets. SpaceX was up 9.1% at $124.99 in midday trading.

SpaceX reports its first-ever quarterly earnings Tuesday while a wave of insider shares looms on the horizon, and both events could dramatically reshape the stock and rattle the entire space sector.

Rocket Lab is rapidly transforming from a launch company into a diversified space business, positioning it for profits and strong free cash flow as early as next year.

The sky may not be the limit for the company, which provides satellite launch services.

SpaceX shares have lost about $1.2 trillion in value since its IPO, triggering a sector-wide sell-off in space stocks like Rocket Lab as investors demand stronger balance sheets.

The space stock's three-year return laps the market many times over. What the pullback changed deserves just as much attention.

Peter Beck already loves this acquisition. Rocket Lab investors should be even happier.

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) stock is down 36% over the past month, leaving investors who bought near the post-IPO peak with steep losses. The selloff has sparked a natural question: would switching into other space names like Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) or AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) offer a safer path forward? The short answer is not necessarily. Rocket Lab ... SpaceX Is Now Down 36% in a Month. Would You Be Better Off With Rocket Lab or ASTS SpaceMobile?

Fundamentals always matter, but right now, this young stock's moving in a fairly predictable pattern worth using to your advantage.
