(Photo Illustration by Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) surged over 10% on massive volume, officially catalyzed by news that its 'Hungry Hippo’ cargo, fairing for the next-gen Neutron rocket, passed final testing, alongside securing new funding from the Canadian Space Agency. The aggressive buying notably ignored a minor launch scrub announced a day prior. But with the stock heavily driven by future narratives, is this move a true fundamental re-rate or just speculative fervor chasing the broader space sector momentum?  The narrative of a fundamental re-rate is strongly supported by tangible progress in de-risking the company’s long-term growth engine, the Neutron rocket.  Neutron hardware qualification clears a key milestone for its 2026 debut.  Secured CSA funding to develop components for larger 500-1,000 kg satellites.  The market shrugged off a minor Electron launch delay, focusing on larger catalysts.  Developing and launching the Neutron successfully is expected to open up a significant new market for the company, resulting in a substantial revenue boost. Ultimately, the Neutron’s performance will determine if Rocket Lab can achieve steady, long-term profitability, and the stock’s current high value is largely based on the hope that this rocket will succeed.
