Hold Rating on Rocket Lab USA Amid Neutron Program Delays and Market VolatilityWe view the push back to 2H25 as a relatively modest schedule shift and note some investors had been bracing for more significant delays heading into results. Encouragingly, the total projected cost to deliver the initial Neutron rocket (minimum viable product), per mgmt., remains within the $250-300mn range (~$200mn spent through 2024), while plans to operationalize a newly-acquired barge next year to enable landings at sea (monikered ‘Return on Investment’) reinforce reusability commitments. We are tweaking our PT for RKLB higher to $20 from $18 on better-than-expected 4Q24 results and lower outyear opex. expectations as RKLB exits its heavier Neutron investment period, while maintaining our Base Case range of $10-25 for the stock.
