The move adds fuel to what’s already been one of the market’s more volatile momentum plays. (Investors.com) The upgrade came after the stock had already surged over the past year, even as some on Wall Street took a more cautious view. “What more do you want?” KeyBanc analysts led by Michael Leshock questioned this week when they downgraded Rocket Lab to “sector weight,” a neutral rating that basically means “hold.” (MarketWatch) Morgan Stanley analyst Kristine Liwag

Rocket Lab stock slips on KeyBanc downgrade as insider sale filing lands

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:56 EST — After-hours Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation slipped Thursday following a downgrade from KeyBanc, halting a recent rally that had drawn attention to the space company’s valuation.

(Investing.com) The downgrade hits hard because Rocket Lab is now seen as a high-beta proxy for “space-and-defense” enthusiasm, with its shares acting like they depend on fresh catalysts. In that environment, one company’s pullback can spark rapid selling. This follows a steep climb that leaves minimal margin for missteps,

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 08:27 EST — Premarket Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation fell 2.2% to $89.81 in premarket trading on Thursday after KeyBanc Capital Markets downgraded the space company’s stock. (TradingView) The downgrade lands after a sharp run that has pulled in momentum traders and put fresh focus on valuation in space and defense-linked names. It matters now because Rocket Lab’s stock has become sensitive to small shifts in the Wall Street narrative — “great execution” versus “already priced in.” KeyBanc’s move also tests whether recent buyers stay put into the opening bell, or treat the note as
