Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ: RKLB) has gone from strength to strength over the past year, cementing its position as one of the most dominant players in the space launch and infrastructure industry, second only to SpaceX. The company’s stock has been on an absolute tear, surging 141% year-to-date and nearly 560% over the past 12 months, a staggering return that has turned early believers into big winners.
After months of consolidation between $40 and $55, Rocket Lab finally broke out last week, soaring nearly 30% in a matter of days to hit a new all-time high of $62.56 on Oct. 7, 2025. The breakout marked a decisive technical shift for the stock. But with its Relative Strength Index (RSI) now sitting at 71, entering overbought territory, investors might be asking the question: Is it still a buy here, or is a pullback more likely before the next leg higher?
