Robbins LLP Files Class Action Against Rocket Lab USA, Inc. Over Allegations of Misleading Information
Robbins LLP Takes Action on Behalf of Rocket Lab Investors
On February 28, 2025, Robbins LLP, a prominent firm specializing in shareholder rights litigation, announced that it has initiated a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors of Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: RKLB). The lawsuit targets individuals and entities that purchased Rocket Lab securities between November 12, 2024, and February 25, 2025. This lawsuit addresses serious allegations that the company misled its investors concerning its operational status and future prospects.
Background of Rocket Lab USA, Inc.
Rocket Lab is a key player in the aerospace sector, recognized for providing innovative launch services, spacecraft design, and components. The company’s focus on making space more accessible has garnered significant attention. However, recent developments have raised concerns about its reliability and transparency with investors.
Allegations Against the Company
The class action complaint alleges that during the specified class period, Rocket Lab’s management failed to disclose critical information related to its business operations. Notably, it is claimed that the company experienced substantial delays with planned barge landing tests, which were critical for its operational readiness. Furthermore, a critical potable water issue was noted to remain unresolved until January 2026, thereby hindering the launch pad preparation necessary for future operations. This revelation indicated a high likelihood that Rocket Lab’s Neutron rocket would not achieve its scheduled launch by mid-2025.
Additionally, the lawsuit asserts that Neutron's only existing contract was awarded at a discounted rate, with an unreliable partner. As a result, positive statements previously made by the defendants about the company’s business outlook are said to have been materially misleading.
When these issues came to light, Rocket Lab's stock plummeted, falling by $2.21, a decrease of nearly 9.8%, closing at $20.28 per share on February 25, 2025. This sudden drop underscores the potential ramifications for investors who may have relied on the company’s earlier representations.
Who Can Participate?
Investors eligible to participate in this class action are those who bought Rocket Lab’s securities during the class period mentioned above. Furthermore, those interested in serving as lead plaintiffs must file the necessary paperwork with the court by April 28, 2025. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of the entire class and often plays a pivotal role in guiding the litigation process.
Importantly, potential claimants are not obliged to participate fully in the case to reclaim their investments. They have options to remain as absent class members while still retaining their right to recovery.
Representation Conditions
Robbins LLP has committed to providing all representation on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders will not be responsible for any fees or expenses unless recovery is achieved.
