RKLB: Space Pioneer at a Discount

Called discount buying opportunity at $16–18 (Mar 2025). Price now ~$72.

Made the cautious case for Rocket Lab as a long-term opportunity when the stock traded in the $16–18 range. Strong revenue growth and positioning in launch and space systems supported the thesis. Current price reflects significant upside from the identified entry zone.
