Rocket Lab Surge Pauses as Space IPO Momentum Faces Wall

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026, 12:03 PM EDT Rocket Lab USA shares dropped hard Friday, pulling back after a strong rally in the small group of publicly traded space stocks.

Investors are piling into public space stocks before SpaceX’s expected IPO, a debut that could set records. The trade has lifted names like AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, Redwire and Intuitive Machines. Many of these firms still need frequent launches, government deals and big spending to keep moving.

Tema NASA ETF Watch as SpaceX IPO Talk Grows

Tema Space Innovators ETF heads into Monday with less of the uncertainty seen last week. The fund fell 3.9% Friday. It’s down to whether that was just profit-taking after the recent rally or if space stocks are starting a longer slide. SpaceX could go public on Nasdaq as early as June 12, putting Musk’s firm in view for investors watching NASA-linked plays. Reuters reported Friday that the company is preparing its prospectus for next week, with an investor roadshow on June 4 and possible share pricing set for June 11. SpaceX is aiming to raise $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation, which would make this the biggest IPO ever, according to Reuters.

RKLB Stock Pulls Back After Breakout as Neutron Demand Starts to Set the Price

RKLB Stock Pulls Back After Breakout as Neutron Demand Starts to Set the Price

Rocket Lab shares pulled back on Tuesday, giving back some ground after their sharp climb to new highs. The action didn’t point to a big shift in sentiment—buyers continued snapping up shares on weakness, even as some holders locked in gains after the post-earnings surge. Both sides stayed active, but the day’s drop looked more like a pause than a reversal in RKLB’s trajectory. That’s what pushed the chart—nothing to do with investors suddenly ignoring last quarter. The numbers from last week triggered a quick re-pricing, and after that kind of vertical surge, the stock hit a wall: price needed evidence, not just hype. RKLB notched a record high at $123.94 on Monday, Benzinga noted, and with a near 40% rally logged over the week, some investors took the chance to cash out on Tuesday’s open, leading to early weakness.

The date’s set: Intuitive Machines plans to drop first-quarter results on May 14, before the bell. The earnings call kicks off at 8:30 a.m. ET. That’s the marker for investors eyeing whether the lunar-lander contender can actually wring stronger numbers from its hefty government contract backlog.

Intuitive Machines will deliver its first-quarter earnings before the bell on May 14, followed by an 8:30 a.m. ET conference call.
