Rocket Lab, Firefly Upgraded — SpaceX IPO Was Your Chance To Load These Stocks

KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded Rocket Lab (RKLB) and Firefly Aerospace (FLY) to Overweight, viewing the post-SpaceX IPO selloff as a buying opportunity. RKLB has a $135 price target implying 26% upside, driven by its Neutron medium-lift rocket and $2.2B+ backlog. FLY's $50 target suggests 48.5% upside, supported by its successful lunar lander and NASA contracts. Both companies benefit from growing satellite constellations, undersupplied launch markets, and increased defense spending on space systems.
