WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
71%Space Systems
Space SystemsLaunch Services 29%
71% of all revenue comes from a single line: Space Systems.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$601.8M
The loss that same year:
$198.2M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.3.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing, year after year.

Average growth of 76% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

In the vault right now:

DEBT: $254.0M
At this pace, that money lasts about 5.1 years.

At this burn rate the cash pile isn’t the pressing question — for now, time is on the company’s side.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL SALES
60.6×

This company is not turning a profit, so the market is pricing its sales instead: 60.6× for every dollar of annual revenue.

Sales keep climbing

Over the last 4 years, sales grew about 76% a year on average.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3
Sales are holding up

The company sells $601.8M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.

3
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 3/3
Strong cash, light debt

There is $1.0B in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $762.6M would remain.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
The losses continue

A loss of $198.2M against $601.8M in annual sales.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
A wildly swinging price

This stock swings about 2.6 times as much as the market average. Big rallies — and big drops — can both happen fast.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
Executives lean toward selling

Over the last 12 months, executives reported 226 sells against just 16 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.

FINALE · THE GRADE
F
28 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, RKLB sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”

The takeaway: RKLB has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (21/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
