The r/RKLB community is processing a "reality check" this Saturday, September 5, 2026, following a new financial analysis from The Motley Fool that questions Rocket Lab's current valuation. Despite the company's revenue climbing to $769 million, analyst Brett Schafer warns that the Price--to--Sales (P/S) ratio of 48 is "eye--wateringly high," especially as the company takes on significant debt for the $8 billion Iridium acquisition. This valuation concern is being weighed against a major competitive development: German rival Isar Aerospace successfully reached orbit from Norway today, marking the first--ever orbital launch from European soil. Redditors are now debating whether Rocket Lab needs to fast--track a European launch site to maintain its edge, while still keeping a close eye on the September 24 shareholder vote and the December 12 maiden flight of the Neutron rocket.
