  • Why Rocket Lab Outshines SpaceX as a Space Stock Investment
    May 13, 2026, 7:54 PM EDT. Investors are eagerly watching SpaceX's anticipated IPO, likely valuing the company near $2 trillion. However, history shows mega IPOs often stumble post-launch, with 64% underperforming the market over three years. SpaceX, despite its market dominance, could face similar challenges due to high initial valuations. Rocket Lab (RKLB), in contrast, is a proven public company with a diversified space business. Its recent Q1 revenue surged 63.5% year-on-year to $200 million, backed by 83 successful launches and a 70-launch backlog. Beyond launches, Rocket Lab generates steady revenue from spacecraft components and partnerships, including NASA and RTX. For investors seeking space sector exposure now, Rocket Lab offers a more grounded, expanding opportunity than waiting on SpaceX's debut.
