On July 29, Rocket Lab USA, Inc. declined 5.1% in regular trading, trading around $60.78/share, with turnover of $384 million. The selloff was driven by continued pressure from CEO Peter Beck's substantial share reduction combined with broad weakness across the Aerospace & Defense sector.
On the corporate front, CEO Peter Beck has cumulatively sold approximately 2.81 million shares through a 10b5-1 plan established in late March, and filed to sell an additional 5 million shares valued at approximately $465 million. The large-scale insider divestiture has persistently weighed on market sentiment and investor confidence in the stock.
Sector-wide headwinds further compounded selling pressure on July 29, with Boeing falling 4.6%, FTAI Aviation declining 6.62%, and GE Aerospace dropping 2.88%. Rocket Lab has now fallen over 50% since late May, remaining firmly in a downtrend channel despite recently securing a $266 million US Space Force missile defense contract for 12 suborbital launches.
