Rocket Lab Stocks surged 8% on Monday and were built on a powerful run that was fueled by space innovation.
Stocks of Space Infrastructure Company have almost doubled in the past two months after many successful launches and contracts with the European Union.
After a nearly six-fold rise in 2024, stocks have grown 63% per year.
Last month, Rocket Lab announced its partnership with the European Space Agency, launching its Constellation Navigation satellite by December.
Rocket Lab announced the success of its 66th, 67th and 68th electronic rocket launches in June. The company deployed two rockets from the same site in 48 hours.
Rocket Lab competes with an increasing list of companies in the increasing demand, mature and competitive space industry. The sector’s main competitors include Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Firefly Aerospace, and submitted a prospectus to be published on Friday.
“In the case of our small rockets, electrons, demand has been increasing over the last few years, and we haven’t just launched a single spacecraft. These are generally the entire constellations of our customers,” CEO Peter Beck told CNBC last month.
He said the company produces rockets every 15 days.
Beck, a native of New Zealand, founded the company in 2006. Since debuting with NASDAQ in August 2021, the merger with a special purpose acquisition company has increased the market value of Long Beach, California to over $19 billion.
