Rocket Lab USA Faces Securities Fraud Class Action as April 2025 Deadline Approaches

Multiple law firms have announced a securities class action lawsuit against Rocket Lab USA, Inc., alleging that the company misled investors about significant delays in its Neutron rocket program. The complaints claim Rocket Lab failed to disclose that barge landing tests and launch pad preparations were behind schedule due to unresolved technical issues, including a potable water problem expected to persist until January 2026. As a result, there is a substantial risk that the Neutron rocket will not launch as planned in mid-2025, and its only contract was reportedly discounted and made with an unreliable partner. The lawsuits assert that these omissions rendered Rocket Lab's positive statements about its business and prospects materially misleading. The legal actions could impact Rocket Lab's stock value and reputation, with investors encouraged to consider their options before the April 28, 2025, lead plaintiff deadline. Firms involved emphasize that there are no upfront costs to shareholders seeking representation in the case.
