Q3 Earnings: 2 Dates Every Space Investor Needs to Circle

For space investors, two key dates are coming up in late November to mark on their calendars: Rocket Lab's Q3 earnings on November 9 and AST SpaceMobile's Q3 earnings on the same day. Rocket Lab reported its Q3 2026 earnings on October 20, with guidance of $250 million to $265 million in revenue and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $17 million to $23 million.

Investors will be watching for updates on the Neutron rocket and how Rocket Lab's results compare to expectations. AST SpaceMobile has delivered disappointing financial results recently, with four straight earnings-per-share (EPS) misses and a launch cadence goal of 45 satellites in orbit by early 2027. Firefly Aerospace, which reported strong sales growth in Q2 but compressed gross margins, will also report its earnings on November 10.

While Firefly has shown progress, the compression in margins will be a key focus for investors as they assess the company's ability to improve profitability. These earnings releases will provide insights into which leading space companies are executing effectively amidst a challenging back half of the year for many space stocks.
