December 20, 2025 — Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) is ending the week with the kind of headline every growth stock dreams about: a record close, a major U.S. national security contract, and renewed investor focus on the company’s longer-term “make-or-break” catalyst—Neutron, its next-generation medium-lift rocket. Shares surged into Friday’s close (the last trading session before today’s weekend), closing at $70.52, up 17.7% on the day and marking a new record.
