10 Stocks Crushing Market Expectations

4. Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB)

Rocket Lab jumped by 9.03 percent on Monday to finish at $38.88 apiece as investors gobbled up shares amid rosy opportunities from the ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

This followed Musk’s announcement on Monday that he was forming a new American political party called The America Party to take on Republicans and Democrats, a move that has provoked Trump.

Shares in Musk-led Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) dropped following the statement, while investors deemed the spat as a huge opportunity for Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB)—a space company that directly competes with Musk’s SpaceX—on expectations that the feud could shift government contracts away from SpaceX.

Late last month, Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) successfully launched its 68th Electron rocket, called “Symphony in the Stars” for a confidential commercial client.

The Symphony in the Stars marked the company’s 10th launch in 2025 alone.
