Rocket Lab USA, Inc., a prominent player in the space industry, specializes in providing launch services, spacecraft, payloads, and satellite components for commercial, government, and national security markets. The company is known for its Electron rocket, the most frequently launched small orbital rocket, and is developing the Neutron launch vehicle for medium-lift missions.
In its third-quarter 2025 financial results, Rocket Lab reported a record quarterly revenue of $155 million, marking a 48% increase year-over-year, with a gross margin of 37%. The company highlighted its strong momentum, driven by a record number of Electron launch contracts and strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Geost, an electro-optical and infrared sensor maker, for up to $325 million.
Key financial metrics from the report include a net loss of $18.3 million for the quarter, despite the record revenue. The company also reported a significant increase in liquidity, ending the quarter with over $1 billion, which positions it well for future strategic mergers and acquisitions. Rocket Lab successfully launched two HASTE missions and opened Launch Complex 3 for its new Neutron rocket, expected to arrive in early 2026.
Looking ahead, Rocket Lab projects fourth-quarter revenue between $170 million and $180 million, with gross margins expected to remain strong. The company is on track to achieve over 20 launches by the end of the year, underscoring its robust growth trajectory and commitment to expanding its capabilities in the space sector.
