  • Record revenue reached $234.1 million, with strong Q3 guidance and a record backlog.
  • Continued cash burn and uncertainty surrounding the Neutron rocket’s maiden launch timeline weighed on sentiment.
  • The broader market is nearly flat, making the decline appear primarily company-specific.
