On June 25, Rocket Lab USA rose 5.09% in after-hours trading, trading at approximately $84.85/share, with turnover of $37.91 million. The rebound followed consecutive sessions of sharp declines driven by SpaceX's post-IPO capital siphoning effect, which had pushed the stock down over 10% in the prior two trading days, creating oversold conditions.

Multiple fundamental catalysts supported the bounce. Rocket Lab was recently added to the Nasdaq-100 Index effective June 22, enhancing its market visibility and liquidity expectations. KeyBanc upgraded the stock to overweight with a $135 price target, arguing that the sector pullback reflects short-term technical pressure rather than fundamental deterioration. Additionally, the company successfully launched the Victus Haze Tactically Responsive Space mission for the US Space Force, lifting off just 16 hours and 42 minutes after receiving launch notice — beating the previous record by over 10 hours — further validating its operational execution capabilities.

Despite today's after-hours recovery, the stock remains well below its levels from earlier in the month, as SpaceX's post-IPO correction from highs of over 20% continues to weigh on broader space sector sentiment.
