Rocket Lab Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit: What You Need to Know
On March 13, 2025, Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP announced that investors who suffered losses from their Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Rocket Lab) investments have the opportunity to lead the securities fraud class action lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit alleges that Rocket Lab and certain of its executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false and misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operations, and financial condition.
Background of the Lawsuit
Rocket Lab is an American aerospace company that provides launch services for commercial, civil, and government customers. The company went public on August 20, 2020, through a SPAC merger with Vector Acquisition Corporation. Rocket Lab’s stock price surged after the merger, and the company was valued at over $4 billion.
However, in the months following the merger, Rocket Lab faced several setbacks, including failed launches, delays, and cost overruns. Despite these challenges, the company continued to issue positive statements about its business and financial prospects. For example, in its Q3 2021 earnings call, Rocket Lab’s CEO, Peter Beck, stated that the company was “making good progress” and that “we’re on track to meet our 2022 guidance.”
The Allegations
The securities fraud class action lawsuit alleges that Rocket Lab and its executives made false and misleading statements about the company’s business, operations, and financial condition. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that:
- Rocket Lab downplayed the impact of its failed launches and delays, misrepresenting the company’s ability to meet its launch schedule and customer commitments.
- Rocket Lab misrepresented its cost structure and financial projections, failing to disclose the true costs of developing and producing its rocket engines and launch vehicles.
- Rocket Lab failed to disclose the risks associated with its business, including the intense competition in the launch market and the high costs of developing new technologies.
