On June 15, Rocket Lab rose 4.78% in regular trading, trading at approximately $108.94/share, with turnover of $760 million.
On the news front, the rally was primarily driven by two catalysts. First, Nasdaq announced that Rocket Lab will be officially added to the Nasdaq-100 Index effective June 22, making it one of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq. The inclusion is expected to generate passive fund allocation demand. Second, the commercial aerospace sector entered a rebound phase after a sharp selloff triggered by SpaceX's IPO on June 12, during which Rocket Lab had declined over 7% due to capital diversion effects.
Additionally, KeyBanc upgraded Rocket Lab from Sector Weight to Outperform with a price target of $135. As one of the few publicly listed companies with both rocket launch and satellite manufacturing capabilities, Rocket Lab attracted significant capital inflows as the sector recovered, forming a dual catalyst that propelled the stock higher.
