Morgan Stanley Says Rocket Lab Is Building a SpaceX-Style Empire, Lifts Bull Case to $293

Morgan Stanley has upgraded its bull-case target for Rocket Lab (RKLB) to $293, citing the company's $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications as a transformative step toward becoming a vertically integrated space platform similar to SpaceX. The deal is expected to provide high-margin recurring revenue and drive significant compound revenue growth through 2028, despite execution risks associated with its Neutron rocket and Iridium integration. While still a fraction of SpaceX's size, Rocket Lab's strategic shift positions it for substantial long-term growth and market expansion beyond just launch services.

Rocket Lab's stock (NASDAQ: RKLB) experienced a second consecutive day of decline, falling over 10%, after a regulatory filing revealed CEO Peter Beck sold 5 million shares. This share sale occurred despite the company's recent announcement of an $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM), a move intended to expand Rocket Lab's operational scope beyond launch services and build a vertically integrated space company. The timing of Beck's pre-arranged sale, following the stock's recovery after the acquisition news, has unsettled investors.
