It expects $232.5 million in Q2 and its first $23 million EBITDA in Q2, showing it is moving toward profitability faster than planned.&nbsp;During a retail investor call on Friday, the company’s CEO, Peter Beck and CFO, Adam Spice, said they are moving deeper into commercial space markets as Rocket Lab expands launch services, spacecraft systems, and broader space infrastructure capabilities.&nbsp;Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket is getting many new launch contracts, including growing demand for hypersonic testing. The company says it can increase production if needed, but that would require more facilities and launch support.He also emphasized that demand for high-cadence launches is rising, particularly from government and defense customers.&nbsp;“I mean, most of the hypersonic submissions, all the hypersonic submissions to date have been launched out of the US. And so, it would require flexibility from some of those customers to be able to launch out of New Zealand, or we'd have to create some launch capabilities elsewhere,” said Spice.&nbsp;He said their full space strategy is still being built step by step. Launch rockets are the hardest part, and they are making strong progress with Neutron. They are also slowly improving other space technologies, sometimes by buying companies but also by building many things themselves.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Rocket Lab USA stock</a> traded nearly 3% higher overnight, heading into Monday.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">RKLB’s Neutron Development Advances&nbsp;</h2>On Friday, Rocket Lab, in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RocketLab/status/2052847721523147150">post</a> on X platform, confirmed it has completed a key stage separation test campaign, marking an important step in validating one of the most complex elements of the rocket’s design.The testing effort focused on proving the reliability of Neutron’s stage separation system, a crucial step that determines whether the rocket’s different sections can safely detach during flight.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_05_11_002254_png_c83b948763.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-05-11 002254.png" width="741" height="322"></figure>The Neutron rocket is central to Rocket Lab’s long-term expansion into medium-lift reusable launch services. Investor sentiment was further lifted by a landmark contract, announced on Thursday, worth over $200 million covering five Neutron launches and three Electron missions for an undisclosed customer.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">RKLB’s Anduril Deal Draws Attention&nbsp;</h2>Rocket Lab also announced a new agreement with defense technology firm Anduril for multiple hypersonic test missions. The deal expands the use of Rocket Lab’s HASTE launch system, which is designed to support high-speed aerospace testing for advanced military applications.Reflecting on the deal, John D.Fuller, an Anduril executive, said on Linkedin, small rocket launch and hypersonic testing have changed over the past decade.&nbsp;“Ironically, Virgin Orbit and LauncherOne did not survive long enough to see the hypersonic future I’d conceived - but Rocket Lab’s HASTE is a highly capable solution that will drive incredible progress and speed (literally!) into hypersonic vehicle development,” Fuller added.&nbsp;RKLB stock has gained over 51% year-to-date.&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvda-mu-qcom-stocks-hit-52-week-highs-last-week-what-is-behind-the-surge/cZX9AfGReW9">NVDA, MU, QCOM Stocks Hit 52-Week Highs Last Week: What's Behind The Surge?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Yuri Khodjamirian of Tema Space Innovators ETF told Stocktwits that legacy players such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin are less agile due to their reliance on government contracts and diversified business models.</li><li>According to him, Rocket Lab is gaining attention for building reusable and reliable launch services as an alternative to SpaceX.</li><li>Meanwhile, AST SpaceMobile represents a shift toward direct-to-device satellite connectivity, targeting global telecom integration and mass adoption.</li></ul>The next wave of space growth will come from names like Rocket Lab (RKLB), Intuitive Machines (LUNR), Planet Labs (PL), and AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), rather than legacy aerospace and defense giants, according to Yuri Khodjamirian of Tema Space Innovators ETF (NASA).Companies like Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT) are part of the “old world of space exploration,” where programs are slow‑moving, over‑engineered, and tied to large government contracts, rather than commercial‑driven innovation. They are no longer “pure‑play” space stocks, Khodjamirian said in an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0JzjZfjUjU">exclusive interview</a> with Stocktwits. “And we felt that the defense primes, know, the Lockheed and Boeing, they have the United Launch Alliance together, are part of the kind of maybe the old world of space exploration and their culture and the way the businesses are set up are not there to innovate and build on the next generation,” he stated. “...They're not where we're seeing the opportunity in terms of the growing fundamentals.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">‘New Space’ Firms Gain Ground Over Legacy Aerospace</h2><a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/BA">BA’s stock</a> fell more than 1% on Friday, while&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/LMT">LMT’s stock</a> tumbled 1.65% amid broader weakness in the market, while newer names rallied ahead of NASA’s Artemis II Moon mission splashdown in the evening.&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/LUNR">LUNR’s stock</a> led gains among the cohort, rising more than 7% on Friday.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ASTS">ASTS shares</a> gained 3.57%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">RKLB’s stock</a> moved nearly 2% higher, and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PL">PL’s stock</a> rose 1.29%.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NASA">NASA’s price</a> edged 0.32% higher, ending the week with a gain of nearly 20% since its debut ahead of the Artemis II mission launch.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Launch, Don’t Blow Up, Repeat</h2>Khodjamirian said that true space‑thematic exposure now lies with companies that have turned rockets into&nbsp;reusable assets, like Rocket Lab. According to him, it’s one of the few companies that has turned small‑satellite launch into a reliable service that’s attractive to governments and commercial customers looking for an alternative to SpaceX.“Rockets, unfortunately, have a nasty tendency to blow up,” Khodjamirian told Stocktwits. “So what you want is to invest in the companies that have basically developed rockets that work. SpaceX has done that, and so has Rocket Lab.” The company is positioning its reusable Neutron medium-lift rocket as an alternative to SpaceX's&nbsp;workhorse Falcon 9.Khodjamirian added that ASTS is one of the largest providers of direct‑to‑device satellite connectivity, partnering with dozens of global mobile carriers and enabling billions of users to access satellite‑backed mobile networks. According to him, that fits a broader shift from expensive, geostationary‑orbit systems to low‑earth‑orbit, mass‑produced constellations that slash latency and cost, a commercial‑driven “new age” of space tech.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Parts Of An Emerging Lunar Economy</h2>The Tema chief investment officer also highlighted Intuitive Machines as a pioneer of the lunar economy, with a growing NASA‑funded Artemis II‑linked backlog, a completed private Moon landing, and future revenue streams from lunar delivery and data‑transmission subscriptions.&nbsp;By contrast, Khodjamirian views the defense‑oriented giants as over‑capitalized, less agile, and too diversified outside core space, which is why the NASA ETF deliberately excludes Boeing, Lockheed, and similar legacy primes to stay focused on faster‑growing, innovation‑driven space names.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Are Retail Traders Saying About Space Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment across the newer and older names trended in ‘bearish’ territory except for AST SpaceMobile. It saw retail sentiment trending in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by ‘high’ levels of chatter.&nbsp;According to one retail trader on Stocktwits, LUNR’s stock is the most undervalued among NASA’s picks for the fund.<stembedurl>https://www.stocktwits.com/Thinking101/message/649985759</stembedurl>Others expressed more caution, anticipating the stocks to correct once the Artemis II splashdown hype wears off by Monday.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://www.stocktwits.com/samvicious/message/649986499</stembedurl>LUNR, PL, and ASTS shares have shown&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasa-etf-jumps-nearly-20-since-launch-alongside-artemis-ii-mission/cZJ0StERItu">double-digit gains</a> during the 10-day Artemis II mission to the Moon.

NASA ETF Jumps Nearly 20% Since Launch Alongside Artemis II Mission – ASTS, PL, LUNR Drive Gains

In a Stocktwits interview, TEMA ETFs CIO Yuri Khodjamirian, who also manages the new NASA ETF, said its launch alongside Artemis II was “fortuitous” and “a coincidence.”

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Rocket Lab, Intuitive Machines and AST SpaceMobile rose premarket on Wednesday ahead of NASA’s first crewed deep-space mission since 1972.</li><li>Artemis II is targeting liftoff no earlier than 6.24 p.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center.</li><li>Anticipation of a potential $75 billion SpaceX IPO and the launch of the NASA ETF added to momentum across space stocks.</li></ul>Space stocks rose in premarket trading on Wednesday as NASA’s Artemis II mission moved closer to launch and anticipation around SpaceX’s expected blockbuster IPO continued to support sentiment across the sector.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Shares of Rocket Lab</a> (RKLB) and Intuitive Machines (LUNR) and SpaceMobile (ASTS) all gained 2% each, while Firefly Aerospace (FLY) rose 3% in premarket trading.In the latest quarter, RKLB fell about 8%, marking its worst quarter in a year, while ASTS and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LUNR">LUNR</a> each rose 14%, extending their fifth and second straight quarterly gains, respectively. FLY gained about 27% during the period.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Final Countdown Underway As Artemis II Nears Launch</h2>Investor focus was at the Kennedy Space Center as operations moved deeper into final launch preparations for Artemis II, with liftoff targeted no earlier than 6.24 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The mission will send four astronauts on a roughly 10-day journey around the Moon, marking NASA’s first crewed deep-space flight since 1972.Engineers completed health checks on the rocket’s RS-25 engines, charged Orion’s flight batteries, and prepared core-stage systems ahead of fueling and activation of the automated ground launch sequencer. Crews also conducted pressure-suit leak checks and cleared nonessential personnel from Launch Complex 39B as countdown operations progressed.Weather conditions remain favorable for now, with officials estimating an 80% chance of acceptable launch conditions, though cloud cover and winds are still being monitored.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Artemis II Supports NASA’s Moon-Return Plans</h2>Artemis II represents the first crewed mission under NASA’s Artemis program and a key systems-validation flight ahead of future lunar landing missions planned later this decade. If successful, the mission is expected to help clear the path for astronauts to return to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era.While Artemis II itself relies on NASA’s government-developed Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, the broader Artemis architecture depends on commercial launch and lunar-transport capabilities led by SpaceX and Blue Origin.NASA selected SpaceX’s Starship system as a key lunar lander for future Artemis missions, with additional landing support roles expected from Blue Origin.<h2 class="st-heading-2">SpaceX IPO Buzz Add To Sector Tailwinds</h2>Meanwhile, expectations around a possible SpaceX public listing, which could raise as much as $75 billion at a valuation above $1.75 trillion, have continued to lift sentiment across space stocks.Most of SpaceX’s projected $20 billion in 2026 revenue is expected to come from its Starlink satellite network and launch operations. The IPO momentum has also helped spur new investment vehicles focused on space stocks, including the newly launched Tema Space Innovators ETF (NASA), which provides exposure to companies across satellite connectivity, launch infrastructure, defense space systems and early-stage commercial exploration platforms.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About RBLK, ASTS, LUNR And FLY?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward RKLB was 'bullish' amid 'high' message volume, while sentiment on ASTS and FLY was 'neutral' with 'normal' and 'low' message volume, respectively. Sentiment on LUNR remained 'bearish' amid 'normal' message volume.Over the past year, RKLB and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ASTS">ASTS</a> rose about 260% and 264%, respectively, while LUNR gained roughly 150% and FLY declined around 53%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ibrx-surges-record-quarter-but-anl-eras-outperform/cZ7HOgLRInB">IBRX Stock Notches Strongest Quarter Ever — But These 2 Smaller Biotech Plays Ran Even Hotter</a>

Trump also said that the U.S. could leave Iran within two to three weeks, suggesting military goals had largely been accomplished and that other nations could take the lead in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.Tuesday marked the final trading day of the first quarter, with all three major averages posting their best daily performance since May. The S&amp;P 500 (SPX) posted its worst quarter in a year, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Nasdaq Composite (NDAQ) recorded their worst quarterly performances since 2022 amid the Iran conflict, private-credit worries, and the AI “scare trade.”<figure class="table"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>Index</td><td>Move</td><td>Close</td></tr><tr><td>Dow Jones Industrial Average</td><td>2.49%</td><td>46,341.51</td></tr><tr><td>S&amp;P 500</td><td>2.91%</td><td>6,528.52</td></tr><tr><td>Nasdaq Composite</td><td>3.83%</td><td>21,590.63</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Tech stocks led the rebound.

Brent crude settled up 4.94% at $118.35 per barrel, the highest close since June 2022, after Iran&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-30/iran-strikes-fully-laden-kuwait-oil-tanker-in-dubai-port-area">reportedly</a> struck a Kuwaiti oil tanker in Dubai waters. West Texas Intermediate crude settled down 1.46% at $101.38 per barrel.The partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz has choked off supplies of crude and gas to global markets, pushing U.S. gasoline prices above $4 per gallon for the first time since August 2022 and raising concerns about inflation pressures.Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/2039057791793680419">said on X</a> that “the stock market hates inflation.

But the growth in this theme is much broader and accelerating rapidly,” said Yuri Khodjamirian, chief investment officer at Tema ETFs. He added the fund offers “a transparent, actively managed vehicle to access SpaceX alongside the full ecosystem of companies building the space economy of the future.”Tema said it absorbs the transaction costs associated with acquiring and maintaining exposure to SpaceX through the SPV structure.
