Why Rocket Lab Stock Keeps Dropping

Is Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) banal atrocious for abstraction stocks? In a twelvemonth erstwhile Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) banal much than doubled up of the SpaceX IPO, that seems a unusual question, but here's the thing:

Missed Nvidia successful 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" awesome flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the archetypal clip successful years, that aforesaid "Total Conviction" awesome is flashing for a institution 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »

Case successful point: This morning, SpaceX announced plans to interval (a rumored) $20 cardinal of indebtedness successful what it's calling its "Inaugural Bond Issuance." SpaceX banal is down 10.7% done 1:10 p.m. ET connected the news, and Rocket Lab is down 7.2%.

SpaceX wants (not needs) a indebtedness

SpaceX raised much than $80 cardinal successful its archetypal nationalist offering. Post-IPO, SpaceX already has "approximately $100.8 cardinal successful currency and currency equivalents."

So wherefore is it seeking different $20 billion?

The biggest hint is SpaceX emphasizing the "inaugural" quality of this enslaved issuance. There's ne'er been a marketplace for bonds of a publically traded SpaceX before. Presumably, 1 happening SpaceX hopes to execute is to gauge however fashionable its bonds are with investors contiguous -- however overmuch wealth it could rise if it needed to, and however overmuch involvement it would person to pay.

What this means for Rocket Lab banal

This is wherefore I see the enslaved offering neither bully nor atrocious quality for SpaceX stock. But for Rocket Lab stock, I fearfulness the SpaceX enslaved offering mightiness beryllium atrocious news.

Think astir it. SpaceX conscionable held an IPO that sucked $80 cardinal retired of the marketplace for abstraction investors. Now, SpaceX is raising different $20 cardinal from investors looking to lend money to abstraction stocks.

SpaceX is sucking each the figurative aerial retired of the room. Cash-burning abstraction stocks similar Rocket Lab could soon find it harder to rise the wealth they need.
