Rocket Lab reports Q4 EPS (8c), consensus (7c)

Reports Q4 revenue $51.8M, consensus $49.24M. Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Peter Beck, said: "Rocket Lab set new company records in 2022. It was our busiest launch year yet with nine Electron launches and 100% mission success. We also made significant progress on the development of Neutron with hardware in production, the launch pad and production complex sites selected and under construction, and an engine test stand at NASA Stennis already supporting the Archimedes test program. It was also a terrific year across space systems, with our strategy to become a full-service space company demonstrated with the successful CAPSTONE mission to the Moon for NASA featuring Rocket Lab developed launch vehicle and spacecraft, and further strengthened with the contract award to develop 17 spacecraft buses for MDA to support Globalstar’s new constellation."
