RKLB news
The r/RKLB community is waking up to a major boost this Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as Goldman Sachs has officially upgraded Rocket Lab to a "Buy" rating with a price target of $45. Following yesterday's successful full--duration Archimedes engine test, analyst Noah Poponak stated that the "technical path to Neutron is now clear," significantly reducing the risk profile for its late 2026 maiden flight. Redditors are ecstatic, noting that this upgrade builds massive momentum for the September 24 shareholder vote on the Iridium acquisition. The report also highlights that the deal, expected to close in mid--2027, will transform Rocket Lab into a high--margin orbital operator. Many in the community are calling this the "beginning of the Great Re--rating" as the company transitions from a launch provider to a global space infrastructure titan.
