On August 28, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $64.13/share, with turnover of $5.33 billion, extending its recent downtrend.

On the news front, the RKLB options market has seen consecutive massive bearish trades. On August 26, a $2.05 million far out-of-the-money put order appeared targeting the January 2027 $45 strike with 7,000 contracts. Earlier on August 21, two orders totaling approximately $17.9 million in in-the-money puts emerged, including a $13.65 million dual-buy put combination. On August 18-19, multiple far-dated out-of-the-money call sells were executed to cap upside potential.

Additionally, the company's recent Q2 earnings report showed EPS of -$0.08 missing the -$0.06 consensus estimate, while signaling the Neutron rocket's maiden flight could be delayed to next year. The convergence of fundamental headwinds and persistent options market bearishness has weighed heavily on the stock.
