Equibles Research
our published analysis of this company-
Research ThesisRocket Lab's $2.2B backlog makes the bull case bigger than Neutron
Rocket Lab's record Q1 and $2.2B backlog show the bull case no longer rests on Neutron alone. The proposed Iridium merger could add a recurring-services engine, while financing, dilution and execution remain the price of that upside.

Research ThesisRocket Lab: Backlog is converting, but the $39B market cap is paying for a Neutron debut the company has yet to validate
Rocket Lab enters Q2 2026 with record backlog of $2,219.8M and guided revenue of $225.0M–$240.0M, yet the stock trades at -55.2% from its $150.23 high on a $39.0B market cap against $679.6M of trailing revenue — a gap the equity-funded growth model and the un-flown Neutron debut have to close.
