الاستراتيجية (MSTR) تتصدر تصنيفات الاهتمام القصير العالمي بين الأسهم ذات القيمة الكبيرة
ملخص
استراتيجية إنك. (MSTR) أصبحت الأسهم الأكثر اقتراضًا في العالم بين الشركات التي تقدر قيمتها بأكثر من 25 مليار دولار، مع حوالي 14% من قيمتها السوقية البالغة 41.6 مليار دولار محتفظ بها في مراكز قصيرة.
جزء كبير من هذه المراكز القصيرة ينشأ من استراتيجيات تداول الأساس - المستثمرون يشترون صناديق الاستثمار المتداولة في البيتكوين مثل IBIT بينما يقرضون MSTR لاستغلال الفروقات في الأسعار.
تحتوي خزينة البيتكوين الخاصة بالشركة على 717,722 BTC بقيمة تقارب 47 مليار دولار، على الرغم من أن الخسائر غير المحققة تصل إلى حوالي 7 مليارات دولار.

BofA Lifts Caterpillar Price Target to $825 Following Robust Full-Year Performance
TLDR
BofA increased Caterpillar’s price target from $735 to $825, maintaining its Buy recommendation following impressive 2025 financial results.
The industrial giant delivered $67.6 billion in annual revenue with 4% growth, while its Power & Energy division jumped 23% to $9.4 billion.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer expressed support for CAT’s turbine business but suggested Cummins (CMI) offers better value at current levels.
February saw short positions increase by approximately 61%, while company insiders offloaded more than $98 million in shares during the last quarter.
Trading at roughly 40 times earnings after a 124% annual surge, CAT faces a consensus analyst price target of $712.52 with a “Moderate Buy” average recommendation.
Caterpillar (CAT) has experienced an impressive rally. Shares have climbed 124% during the past year and gained 28% since the beginning of 2025, starting Friday’s session at $752.81.
Following the release of Caterpillar’s full-year 2025 financial results, Bank of America wasted no time adjusting its outlook. The investment bank elevated its price objective on CAT from $735 to $825 while reaffirming its Buy recommendation.
BofA’s analysis was clear-cut. Caterpillar is experiencing turbine demand from multiple sectors extending far beyond data center applications, which the firm believes undermines concerns about potential turbine oversupply in the market.
The financial performance supported this thesis. Caterpillar generated $67.6 billion in total revenue throughout 2025, representing a 4% year-over-year improvement. The Power & Energy division emerged as the star performer, expanding 23% to achieve $9.4 billion in sales.
Fourth-quarter performance was equally impressive. The company delivered earnings per share of $5.16 for the period, surpassing the analyst consensus of $4.67. Revenue reached $19.13 billion, significantly exceeding projections of $17.81 billion. This represented a 17.9% increase compared to the corresponding quarter one year prior.
Jim Cramer recently shared his thoughts on CAT, stating plainly, “We like their stuff.” He highlighted turbines and power equipment as the foundation of the optimistic investment thesis.
However, Cramer also expressed some reservation. When a club member inquired in January about entering a position, he noted the stock had already experienced a substantial appreciation and said he’d prefer to see a pullback before adding exposure. He indicated he currently finds Cummins (CMI) more attractive than CAT at present valuations.
Cramer also offered criticism regarding retail investor participation, suggesting that Caterpillar’s leadership team should be working harder to engage individual investors — and questioning why an iconic American corporation trades at $749.
Analyst Ratings Split
The overall analyst community remains divided. CAT currently has sixteen Buy ratings, seven Hold ratings, and one Sell rating. The average price target stands at $712.52, which actually falls below the stock’s current trading level.
Wells Fargo pushed its target to $870 alongside an Overweight rating. Daiwa elevated its projection to $790. Jefferies established a $750 target with a Buy recommendation. Oppenheimer moved to $729 with an Outperform rating. Morgan Stanley, however, only increased its target to $425 while maintaining an Underweight stance.
Wall Street Zen downgraded CAT from Buy to Hold on February 21st.
Insider Selling and Short Interest
Not all market participants are bullish. Executive Denise C. Johnson divested 39,138 shares on February 2nd at an average price of $681.08, totaling more than $26.6 million. This transaction represented a 47% reduction in her stake.
Insider Bob De Lange executed his own sale on February 6th, offloading 22,656 shares at $720.11 for approximately $16.3 million. Throughout the past 90 days, company insiders have collectively sold $98.2 million worth of shares.
Short interest also surged roughly 61% during February, indicating that some market participants are positioning for a decline.
Institutional investors control 70.98% of CAT’s outstanding shares. Erste Asset Management expanded its stake by 32.7% in Q3, purchasing 33,634 shares. Norges Bank established a new position valued at more than $2.1 billion in Q2.
CAT’s 52-week trading range extends from $267.30 to $789.81. The stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 40 with a market capitalization of $350.27 billion. The upcoming quarterly dividend is $1.51 per share, translating to an annualized distribution of $6.04 and a yield of 0.8%.

Ethereum Foundation Releases ‘Strawmap’ Blueprint: Seven Network Upgrades Until 2029
TLDR
Ethereum Foundation releases Strawmap for Layer 1 enhancement
Roadmap aims for 10,000 TPS capacity and reduced slot duration
Seven network forks scheduled between now and 2029
Vitalik Buterin advocates for reduced slot times and improved finality
Quantum-resistant cryptography included in future development goals
Ethereum’s price action remained stable around the $2,000 threshold following the Ethereum Foundation’s announcement of its Strawmap initiative. This comprehensive roadmap presents a synchronized development strategy emphasizing enhanced transaction speeds, network scalability, and protocol optimization. The Strawmap release has bolstered market confidence in Ethereum’s commitment to advancing its base layer capabilities amid recent trading volatility.
Strawmap Defines Strategic Development Objectives
The Ethereum Foundation introduced Strawmap as an organized visual framework mapping anticipated network enhancements extending to 2029. This strategic document categorizes modifications across three primary layers: Consensus, Data, and Execution, facilitating coordinated implementation efforts. Each scheduled fork within Strawmap received designated priorities to ensure consistent developmental momentum throughout the ecosystem.
Five ambitious long-term objectives form the foundation of Ethereum’s decade-long vision outlined in Strawmap. Central to this strategy is accelerating Layer 1 performance through reduced slot times and minimized confirmation delays. The framework also supports scaling ambitions toward a gigagas-capable base layer delivering approximately 10,000 transactions per second.
The strategic document envisions a future teragas-enabled Layer 2 infrastructure capable of handling up to 10 million transactions per second. Strawmap incorporates quantum-resistant security measures utilizing hash-based cryptographic methods. The plan further emphasizes privacy enhancements at the base layer, enabling confidential transactions and establishing new privacy standards.
Slot Time Reduction and Finality Improvements Take Center Stage
Vitalik Buterin endorsed the Strawmap vision by presenting a phased approach toward progressively shorter slot durations. His proposal outlines incremental reductions from the current 12-second intervals to lower targets as technical research matures. Strawmap emphasizes this priority, connecting accelerated block production to enhanced user interactions and improved rollup efficiency.
Development teams are actively assessing peer-to-peer network propagation enhancements to accommodate reduced slot times. Research includes implementing erasure coding techniques to minimize block distribution latency across validator networks. These networking optimizations align with Strawmap’s overarching throughput expansion objectives.
Ethereum contributors are also investigating Minimmit, an innovative finality mechanism designed to strengthen transaction settlement assurances. This system targets improved confirmation speeds during high-stress network scenarios. Strawmap identifies this finality upgrade as essential infrastructure for upcoming protocol forks.
Multi-Year Fork Timeline Mapped Through Decade’s End
Strawmap establishes a sequence of seven planned network upgrades following a six-month release cadence extending through 2029. This structured approach balances rapid innovation with predictable deployment schedules. Each fork addresses distinct protocol enhancement themes, maintaining organizational clarity throughout implementation.
The Ethereum Foundation developed Strawmap during an internal strategy session in early 2026. While serving as a directional planning instrument rather than binding roadmap, it provides crucial coordination guidance. Strawmap promotes transparent collaboration among researchers, developers, and stakeholders across the broader Ethereum community.
Market sentiment surrounding Ethereum remained stable as Strawmap details circulated throughout the ecosystem. This comprehensive framework underscores Ethereum’s dedication to long-term scalability objectives while maintaining development velocity. Strawmap establishes a clear trajectory for sustained technical advancement across all primary network layers.

The company reported earnings per share of $0.84, slightly ahead of the consensus estimate of $0.83. Quarterly revenue totaled $282.9 million, exceeding analyst forecasts of $275.7 million. For the complete 2025 fiscal year, adjusted EBITDA surpassed $300 million, while total bookings exceeded $1 billion for the first time in company history.
The platform’s daily active user base also reached a milestone of 50 million — representing a fivefold increase since the company went public in 2021.
The positive momentum ended when management unveiled its forward-looking projections.
For the first quarter of 2026, Duolingo anticipates bookings of approximately $301.5 million. Wall Street had been modeling $329.7 million. The full-year bookings outlook of $1.27–$1.30 billion fell substantially short of the $1.39 billion analysts had expected.
The company’s revenue guidance of $1.20–$1.22 billion similarly missed Street estimates of $1.26 billion.
Shares collapsed over 23% in extended trading following the announcement before recovering to close up 5.19% at $113.24 after the official earnings report.
Management attributed the conservative projections to an intentional change in corporate strategy. The company is deprioritizing short-term monetization tactics in favor of accelerating its user base expansion.
CEO Luis von Ahn explained the approach directly: “If we’re seeing faster user growth than we’re expecting, and what we are expecting is about 20%, then that means the strategy is working.”
Expanding AI Capabilities to Broader User Base
Central to this strategic realignment is democratizing access to the platform’s AI-powered functionality. The “Video Call with Lily” capability, which had been exclusive to the premium Max subscription tier, will now become available to Super Duolingo subscribers.
Additionally, the company intends to make more AI-enhanced speaking exercises accessible to users on the free tier. Management highlighted that the operational cost of the AI video calling feature has dropped by more than tenfold since its introduction, making widespread deployment financially sustainable.
The company projects its adjusted EBITDA margin will compress to approximately 25% in 2026 as it accelerates investment in artificial intelligence capabilities and boosts marketing expenditures.
User Acquisition Momentum Decelerating
The rate of daily active user expansion slowed throughout 2025 and is anticipated to moderate to roughly half the velocity observed in previous years.
Bookings growth is now tracking toward approximately 11% for 2026. Management acknowledged that maintaining the previous strategic approach could have delivered bookings growth closer to 20% — a sacrifice the leadership team is willingly accepting.
In recent years, the platform had implemented various nudges pushing users toward paid subscription tiers through advertising and conversion prompts. While this approach increased average bookings per user, it constrained overall platform growth, precipitating the strategic recalibration.
The board of directors has also greenlit a stock repurchase authorization of up to $400 million.
At present trading levels, shares remain significantly below the 52-week peak of $544.93, with the company carrying a market capitalization of approximately $5.44 billion and trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.67.

The cloud security provider reported adjusted earnings of $1.01 per share, beating analyst expectations of $0.89 by a significant $0.12 margin. The company generated $815.8 million in revenue, representing 26% annual growth and exceeding consensus projections of $798 million.
Yet these strong results weren’t enough to lift the stock, which declined approximately 9% during Friday’s pre-market session.
The week proved volatile for ZS shareholders. Monday saw a 10% plunge amid AI-driven market turbulence. The following three trading days brought a 17% recovery before Thursday’s earnings release triggered another downturn.
Looking ahead to Q3 FY2026, Zscaler projects adjusted EPS between $1.00 and $1.01, comfortably above the $0.95 Wall Street consensus. The company anticipates revenue in the $834 million to $836 million range, modestly exceeding analyst estimates of $831.9 million.
Management elevated full-year FY2026 guidance, now targeting adjusted EPS of $3.99–$4.02 versus the previous $3.82 consensus. Annual revenue expectations were set at $3.309 billion to $3.322 billion, slightly above the $3.3 billion estimate.
CEO Jay Chaudhry emphasized the company’s strategic positioning around artificial intelligence, noting that enterprises accelerating AI deployment are leveraging Zscaler’s infrastructure to protect AI-powered and agentic systems.
Chaudhry positioned Zscaler as the “cybersecurity platform for the AI age,” emphasizing that the company’s Zero Trust architecture is ideally suited to manage the velocity and magnitude of AI and agentic workflows.
Rule-of-62
CFO Kevin Rubin highlighted an impressive operational efficiency metric. Zscaler is currently operating at a “Rule-of-62” on a fiscal year-to-date basis.
This metric blends revenue growth rate with profit margins. While the Rule-of-40 represents the baseline for healthy software businesses, Zscaler’s performance substantially exceeds this threshold.
A Rough Year for ZS
Prior to the earnings release, ZS had already fallen 26% in 2026. The post-earnings selloff compounds the challenges facing a stock that has struggled to gain traction throughout the year.
This week’s price action illustrates the current mindset among software investors. A 10% decline, followed by a 17% recovery, then another sharp drop despite strong results—the market remains indecisive about proper valuations for these companies.
The Q3 forecast calling for $834–$836 million in revenue and EPS of $1.00–$1.01 continues to exceed analyst projections.

Shares climbed more than 13% in extended trading, hitting $137.40.
The company announced a 20% dividend increase and authorized an additional $10 billion for share buybacks.
Dell Technologies delivered an impressive fiscal fourth-quarter performance, surpassing Wall Street projections across key metrics. Investors responded enthusiastically, pushing shares up over 13% during after-hours trading.

The company’s adjusted earnings per share of $3.89 comfortably exceeded the Street’s $3.52 forecast. Quarterly revenue totaled $33.4 billion, representing a robust 39% increase compared to the prior-year period and beating expectations of $31.41 billion.
The standout performance came from AI server sales. Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group generated $9.0 billion in AI-optimized server revenue — representing an explosive 342% year-over-year surge.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Additionally, the company disclosed a record-breaking $43 billion AI server backlog. Dell secured over $64 billion in AI-optimized server orders throughout the complete fiscal year while delivering more than $25 billion in shipments.
“The AI opportunity is transforming our company,” said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and COO. “We are entering FY27 with record backlog of $43 billion — powerful proof that our engineering leadership and differentiated AI solutions are winning.”
FY2027 Outlook
Dell’s forward-looking guidance demonstrated similar strength. Management forecasted FY2027 revenue in the range of $138 billion to $142 billion — substantially higher than the Street’s $124.9 billion estimate.
Full-year EPS guidance of $12.90 also topped analyst projections of $11.49. The company anticipates first-quarter revenue will expand 51% year-over-year.
Management projects AI server revenue will climb to approximately $50 billion during the current fiscal year, representing a 103% jump from FY2026 levels.
Regarding capital allocation, Dell increased its quarterly cash dividend by 20% and authorized an expanded $10 billion share repurchase authorization.
A Note of Caution
Despite the positive results, some analysts expressed reservations. BofA Securities highlighted concerns regarding demand elasticity, noting “swift and significant price actions” implemented by Dell in recent months.
The company raised server pricing on December 10, influenced partially by escalating memory chip expenses. PC pricing adjustments followed on January 6.
Clarke acknowledged these price modifications but characterized them as necessary responses to rising input costs rather than strategic demand management.
Extended trading activity lifted DELL shares to $137.40, representing a 13.21% increase following the earnings announcement. By Friday’s premarket session, the stock maintained gains exceeding 12%.
The unprecedented $43 billion AI server backlog entering FY2027 represents the company’s most concrete indicator of sustained momentum.

Intuit Shares Tumble Despite Earnings Beat as Tax Season Outlook Disappoints
Key Takeaways
Intuit delivered adjusted EPS of $4.15, crushing the $3.68 consensus, while revenue climbed 17% to $4.65 billion
Third-quarter EPS forecast of $12.45–$12.51 missed analyst expectations of $12.97

Shares declined approximately 4% in premarket trading Friday, extending a nearly 40% year-to-date loss
Company announced quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, marking a 15% year-over-year increase
Intuit delivered impressive fiscal second-quarter results that surpassed analyst projections, yet shares tumbled after the company issued conservative third-quarter guidance.

— EarningsTime (@Earnings_Time) February 26, 2026
The financial software giant posted adjusted earnings of $4.15 per share, significantly exceeding the Street’s $3.68 forecast. Revenue reached $4.65 billion, marking a 17% year-over-year increase and beating the consensus estimate of $4.53 billion.
Adjusted operating income jumped 23% to reach $1.5 billion.
CEO Sasan Goodarzi described the results as an “outstanding second quarter, driven by disciplined execution.”
However, the company’s third-quarter outlook — crucial given the tax filing season — disappointed investors. Intuit projected adjusted EPS between $12.45 and $12.51, missing Wall Street’s $12.97 forecast.
For Q3 revenue, management anticipates approximately 10% growth compared to last year, suggesting around $4.36 billion — trailing analyst projections of $4.53 billion.
Shares fell roughly 4% in premarket activity Friday, reversing a 3.5% gain from Thursday’s regular session.
Embracing AI as an Ally, Not an Adversary
Intuit stock has plummeted nearly 40% year-to-date, pressured by widespread concerns that artificial intelligence could disrupt the tax preparation and accounting software industry.
Goodarzi challenged this narrative. In remarks to Barron’s, he emphasized that taxpayers prefer working with trusted brands and that AI companies aren’t interested in assuming the legal responsibilities associated with tax filing.
According to Goodarzi, companies like Anthropic and OpenAI “do not have, nor do they want to have, the capability” that Intuit has developed — capabilities that require significant time to establish.
The company unveiled a collaboration with Anthropic this week to deliver customized AI agents for mid-market businesses using its platform. This follows a previously announced partnership with OpenAI.
Jefferies analyst Brent Thill commented that Intuit’s robust first-half results “makes reiterated FY26 guide look conservative” and maintained a Buy rating, noting that “INTU’s moat in AI remains misunderstood.”
Annual Forecast Remains Unchanged
Intuit maintained its full fiscal year 2026 outlook without revisions. The company continues to project adjusted EPS between $22.98 and $23.18, indicating approximately 14% to 15% growth.
Full-year revenue expectations remain at $21 billion to $21.2 billion, representing 12% to 13% expansion.
Goodarzi explained that the company typically refrains from updating annual guidance until after the third quarter concludes, given the quarter’s significance to overall performance.
Wolfe Research analyst Alex Zukin stated the results “reiterate our positive view on growth durability,” though he reduced his price target to $550 from $685 while keeping an Outperform rating.
William Blair analyst Arjun Bhatia characterized Intuit as a “mission-critical platform for small businesses” that is strategically positioning itself for the artificial intelligence revolution.
The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, scheduled for payment on April 17, 2026 — representing a 15% increase compared to the prior year period.

The company unveiled a collaboration with Anthropic this week to deliver customized AI agents for mid-market businesses using its platform. This follows a previously announced partnership with OpenAI.
Jefferies analyst Brent Thill commented that Intuit’s robust first-half results “makes reiterated FY26 guide look conservative” and maintained a Buy rating, noting that “INTU’s moat in AI remains misunderstood.”
Annual Forecast Remains Unchanged
Intuit maintained its full fiscal year 2026 outlook without revisions. The company continues to project adjusted EPS between $22.98 and $23.18, indicating approximately 14% to 15% growth.
Full-year revenue expectations remain at $21 billion to $21.2 billion, representing 12% to 13% expansion.
Goodarzi explained that the company typically refrains from updating annual guidance until after the third quarter concludes, given the quarter’s significance to overall performance.
Wolfe Research analyst Alex Zukin stated the results “reiterate our positive view on growth durability,” though he reduced his price target to $550 from $685 while keeping an Outperform rating.
William Blair analyst Arjun Bhatia characterized Intuit as a “mission-critical platform for small businesses” that is strategically positioning itself for the artificial intelligence revolution.
The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, scheduled for payment on April 17, 2026 — representing a 15% increase compared to the prior year period.

Senator Warren Challenges Banking Regulator Over Trump Crypto Charter Application
Key Points
Senator challenges banking regulator on Trump-linked crypto charter transparency.
Questions emerge about foreign investment disclosure in bank charter application.
Warren demands unredacted documents from OCC regarding Trump firm review.
UAE investment connection triggers national security and influence concerns.
Congressional Democrats escalate calls for enhanced regulatory supervision.
Senator Warren escalated her examination of an ongoing bank charter application by confronting the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency leadership over transparency issues. The confrontation gained widespread attention due to the applicant’s connection to Trump’s crypto business interests. The debate sparked fresh concerns about regulatory autonomy and possible overseas influence.
Banking Regulator Faces Mounting Congressional Pressure
Warren confronted the agency head following revelations about substantial foreign ownership in the Trump cryptocurrency enterprise. She contended that the OCC has an obligation to confirm World Liberty Financial’s adherence to disclosure requirements, pressing for access to complete, unredacted application materials. She maintained that proper oversight necessitates total transparency from the regulatory body.
The OCC chief, Gould, defended his agency’s position by asserting that the application will undergo standard procedural review. He clarified that the OCC will not introduce delays to the evaluation unless legally mandated, underscoring that every applicant receives identical treatment. He rejected Warren’s demands and characterized her request as unwarranted regulatory interference.
Warren countered that the Senate Committee has a duty to validate compliance given the firm’s presidential ties. She emphasized that concealed ownership structures would warrant application rejection, insisting Congress must authenticate all submitted information. She maintained that these unique circumstances necessitate rigorous enforcement of regulatory standards.
Offshore Investment Raises Red Flags in Charter Application
Warren expressed alarm over reports of a UAE-supported acquisition of significant equity in the company. She noted the transaction occurred mere days before the presidential inauguration, cautioning that international involvement could sway American policy decisions. She underscored national security vulnerabilities related to cutting-edge technology access.
Published accounts suggested the overseas entity purportedly secured a 49% ownership position in the cryptocurrency business. Observers highlighted the transaction’s suspicious timing, connecting it to subsequent federal policy modifications regarding technology export controls. Policy experts contended that these relationships create potential conflicts requiring rigorous regulatory examination.
Warren asserted that the OCC must validate whether ownership information was properly disclosed according to regulations. She reminded the agency head that failure to disclose represents legitimate grounds for immediate application dismissal under federal banking law. She further pressed the agency to preserve public confidence throughout the entire evaluation process.
Senate Democrats Amplify Demands for Regulatory Accountability
Democratic lawmakers intensified demands on Treasury Department officials to halt any charter approval pending resolution of outstanding concerns. They cautioned that issuing a national trust charter could erode public trust in the banking regulatory framework. They further contended that international ownership involvement presents extensive governance challenges.
Multiple members of Congress requested formal investigations into alleged financial transactions connected to Trump-associated businesses. They declared that public accountability demands thorough scrutiny of the UAE investment arrangement. They also stressed that personal financial gain must not shape federal regulatory determinations.
Warren stated the Committee anticipates complete cooperation from the OCC throughout congressional oversight activities. She repeated that banking regulators must eliminate conflicts of interest and preserve impartiality. She concluded that any charter approval without complete transparency would compromise the integrity of federal banking supervision.

The equity peaked at $60.29 during the trading session before closing near $60.00, up from the previous day’s close of $58.66. Trading activity reached approximately 6.55 million shares, representing a decline of roughly 23% compared to typical daily volumes.
The company reported quarterly earnings per share of $0.09, exceeding the Street consensus forecast of $0.08 and substantially outperforming the Zacks projection of $0.04. This resulted in an earnings surprise of +145.23%, a figure that caught investors’ attention.
Compared to the same period last year when the company recorded a loss of $0.12 per share, the improvement marks a significant turnaround. Throughout the previous four quarters, MP has exceeded EPS expectations in three instances.
On the revenue front, however, results fell short of projections. The company generated $52.69 million in quarterly revenue, missing the analyst consensus of $76.06 million by approximately 11.6%. This figure also represents a decrease from the $60.99 million reported in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
The company currently operates with a negative net margin of 50.55% and a negative return on equity of 7.69%, both metrics reflecting the substantial capital investments associated with its ongoing expansion initiatives.
Executive Stock Sales
Company insiders have been active sellers in recent months. CFO Ryan Corbett divested 38,146 shares at an average price of $60.00 on December 9th, trimming his holdings by 19.58%. CEO James Litinsky executed a larger transaction in January, offloading 272,600 shares at $64.17 each, a sale valued at more than $17.4 million.
Combined insider transactions over the past three months totaled 723,146 shares with an aggregate value of approximately $45.8 million. Company insiders currently maintain ownership of roughly 9.5% of outstanding shares.
Meanwhile, institutional investors have been moving in the opposite direction. Corient Private Wealth expanded its position by 404.4% during Q4, while Pacer Advisors boosted its holdings by 71.7%. Institutional ownership currently represents 52.55% of shares outstanding.
Wall Street Outlook
The analyst community maintains a generally optimistic stance on MP. According to MarketBeat data, the consensus rating stands at “Buy,” with an average price target of $78.91 — representing meaningful upside from current trading levels.
Goldman Sachs launched coverage in November with a “Buy” recommendation and a $77.00 price objective. Morgan Stanley elevated the stock to “Overweight” in December, lifting its target to $71.00. JPMorgan similarly upgraded to “Overweight” in November, though it modestly reduced its price target to $74.00.
BMO Capital Markets shifted from “Market Perform” to “Outperform,” while Wall Street Zen issued the only bearish call, downgrading to “Sell” in November.
Among the analysts providing coverage, two maintain a “Strong Buy” rating, thirteen rate it “Buy,” and one has issued a “Sell” rating.
Shares of MP have appreciated approximately 16.1% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500’s 1.5% gain over the identical timeframe.
The Zacks consensus forecast for the upcoming quarter projects $0.07 in EPS on revenues of $76.36 million, with full-year 2026 estimates calling for $0.59 in EPS on total revenue of $418.47 million.
The stock’s 50-day moving average currently stands at $59.89, while the 200-day moving average sits at $64.38. The company’s market capitalization is valued at $10.63 billion.

Record revenue, backlog surging.
EPS: -$0.09
Revenue: $179.65M

— EarningsTime (@Earnings_Time) February 26, 2026
The company reported Q4 2025 revenue of $180 million, representing a 36% increase compared to the year-ago period. Annual revenue totaled $602 million, marking a 38% rise from the previous year’s $436 million.
Despite the robust financial metrics, RKLB shares declined 0.44% during after-hours trading, settling at $69.89. The stock had previously fallen 5.13% during the preceding week.
These earnings highlight a remarkable 10x revenue expansion since the company’s Nasdaq debut in 2021, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate exceeding 76%.
Profitability metrics showed positive momentum. The company’s GAAP gross margin for Q4 stood at 38%, climbing 100 basis points from the previous quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin hit 44.3%, representing a sequential increase of 240 basis points.
However, the company posted a GAAP EPS loss of $0.09 for the fourth quarter, which may have contributed to investor hesitation.
Backlog and Contract Wins
The earnings report highlighted significant growth in the company’s order backlog. Total backlog surged 73% year-over-year to $1.85 billion, with management projecting 37% of that total will be fulfilled within the coming 12 months.
Rocket Lab announced an $816 million contract win from the Space Development Agency for 18 satellites, substantially strengthening its revenue outlook.
The quarter also saw completion of the Optical Support acquisition, broadening the company’s technological portfolio.
Neutron and 2026 Outlook
Management emphasized continued investment in the Neutron rocket initiative as a strategic focus. Neutron represents the company’s next-generation reusable launch platform currently under development.
Looking ahead to Q1 2026, management provided revenue guidance ranging from $185 million to $200 million. Wall Street analysts project full-year 2026 revenue to reach $885.46 million.
Shares have appreciated 242% over the trailing 12-month period and climbed 51% during the past six months, despite recent weakness.
At the time of the earnings release, Rocket Lab commanded a market capitalization of approximately $38.63 billion.
Several market observers have indicated the stock trades above fair value estimates, potentially explaining why solid earnings failed to spark a post-announcement rally.
Key risks identified include supply chain vulnerabilities, intensifying competition within the commercial launch sector, and broader macroeconomic headwinds.
Based on current trading levels, the company’s market capitalization stands at roughly $37.37 billion.
The Q1 2026 revenue forecast of $185 million to $200 million provides the most immediate performance indicator for shareholders monitoring the stock’s trajectory.
