Rocket Lab Stock Soars Ahead of High-Stakes Launch
Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares climbed about 6% on Friday, boosted by optimism around its upcoming mission and strong contract momentum. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with MSTR. The company plans to launch its next Electron rocket, dubbed Symphony In The Stars, on June 20 from its New Zealand site. The flight is one of two missions awarded by a private commercial client, adding to confidence in Rocket Lab's ability to secure repeat business on accelerated timelines. Market watchers often view timely launch execution as a sign of operational strength. Rocket Lab's growing cadence of missions has helped build investor confidence, particularly among retail traders, who tend to rally around launches with the potential to support future revenue streams. Analysts have pointed to the company's financial performance as another driver of sentiment. For the first quarter of 2025, Rocket Lab reported revenue of around $122.6 million, marking a year-over-year increase of more than 30%. Though the firm remains in investment mode, investors are focusing on top-line growth and expansion into adjacent offerings such as spacecraft components and orbital services. Technical indicators ahead of the launch may have contributed to the rally, alongside a broader uptick in space-related stocks. The small-satellite launch sector continues to attract interest from both government and commercial players, with Rocket Lab seen as one of the more active names in the segment. Shares were last up around 6% in afternoon trading, tracking toward their highest level in over a month. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says AI can rival someone with a PhD—just weeks after saying it's ready for entry-level jobs. So what's left for grads?
Billionaire OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns that AI is rivaling the capabilities of entry-level talent, from interns to PhDs. As Gen Z faces rising unemployment and shrinking job opportunities, experts reveal the jobs that will survive—and how to land one. AI is on a collision course with young people. Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that the technology can already perform the tasks equal to that of an entry-level employee. Now, in a podcast posted just last week, the ChatGPT mastermind went even further—saying AI can even perform tasks typically expected of the smartest grads with a doctorate. 'In some sense AIs are like a top competitive programmer in the world now or AIs can get a top score on the world's hardest math competitions or AIs can do problems that I'd expect an expert PhD in my field to do,' he told the Uncapped podcast (hosted by Sam's brother, Jack Altman). As companies like Amazon have admitted they will soon cut their corporate ranks thanks to AI and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warning that the technology could wipe out half of all entry-level, white collar jobs—it begs the question: What jobs will be left for those tossing their graduation caps into the air in the coming years? Already, this graduation season has brought one of the toughest job markets for new graduates. The unemployment rate among bachelor's degree graduates rose to 6.1% in May, up from just 4.4% the month prior, according to most recent data published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED). Additional federal data analyzing outcomes by college majors shows that fields linked to AI exposure, including commercial art & graphic design, fine arts, and computer engineering, all have higher unemployment rates—each above 7%. However, in the tech industry in particular, volatility in the jobs market is nothing new, said Art Zeile, CEO of tech career platform Dice. After all, nearly 600,000 tech employees lost their jobs between 2022 and 2024, according to 'There is no question that it is a challenging time to be a new graduate entering the job market. We've seen some reductions in hiring, especially for entry-level roles, as companies reassess their headcount and look for more specialized skills,' Zeile told Fortune. 'But I wouldn't hit the panic button quite yet.' Rather, today's competitive environment is an opportunity for young people to further sharpen their skills and enter the workforce with a larger focus, Zeile added. It's a message further echoed by Tiffany Hsieh, director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work at Jobs for the Future. 'Young people looking for technology or graphic design roles should be thinking about how they upskill, reskill, or pivot, but others in less impacted ones like elementary school teachers and civil engineers need to worry less,' she told Fortune. Even Altman remains optimistic that AI won't completely terrorize the future of work because, he says, it'll also open up new opportunities. 'A lot of jobs will go away. A lot of jobs will just change dramatically, but we have always been really good at figuring out new things to do and status games or ways to be useful to each other,' Altman told his brother. 'I'm not a believer that that ever runs out.' The 40-year-old billionaire cited the podcast industry as a space that has grown exponentially in the last decade, and the jobs of the future will simply be ones that sound 'sillier and sillier' from our current perspective. Ziele predicts that in the coming years, more jobs will be centered around AI experience designing; data storytelling, and AI governance, security, and ethical implementation. Those skilled in the development of agentic AI will also be at an advantage. 'Professionals who master agentic AI, which is still in its nascent stages, may become invaluable to companies that want to automate significant chunks of their workflows,' he said. Some jobs of the future may look like 'Frankenstein roles'—like a story designer or human resources designer—that lean on durable skills and pull together various human-centered tasks, according to Hsieh. While the future remains uncertain, there are still many roles in fields like the skilled trades or healthcare that are growing and are relatively stable from AI, Hsieh added. 'It's okay to explore different roles in industries you may not have planned on—you will still learn and build skills in any role,' she encouraged Gen Z. 'We are all going to need to be more comfortable with career switching and adopt a lifelong learning mindset.' Landing a job today may feel like an uphill battle, but entry-level roles haven't disappeared entirely—there are just new strategies required to secure them. But because AI has made it easier than ever to curate resumes and cover letters, that's not enough to stand out from the crowd. Hsieh encouraged graduates to focus on their network and portfolio. 'Demonstrated experience is a valuable currency in a world where entry-level roles are scarcer and therefore more competitive,' she said. 'Building MVP tools and solutions with AI for a target industry or to solve a challenge in your community could be a creative way to demonstrate initiative, domain expertise, and durable skills like critical thinking.' In a sense, the job search should be treated like a personal marketing campaign, Zeile suggested. 'Hiring managers are often looking for potential over experience, so it's essential to articulate your passion and willingness to learn new skills during the interview process,' he added. 'Continuous learning and upskilling, particularly in areas like AI, data analysis, or cloud technologies, can also help to set early-career professionals apart from their competition.'

‘We can't wait forever': GOP frustrated but unwilling to act on Trump's TikTok extension
President Donald Trump's latest move to keep TikTok alive is yet again frustrating congressional Republicans, many of whom object to China's continued involvement in the popular app but just want to be done with the whole drama. 'Not my favorite thing,' Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), along-time proponent of the ban, deadpanned, when asked about the president's plan to issue another extension. He spoke a day before the White House confirmed Trump signed a 90-day suspension of enforcement of the law requiring TikTok to divest from ByteDance, its China-based parent company, throwing another lifeline to the short-form video app. By Friday, some House lawmakers registered a note of resigned irritation. The extension — Trump's third since the law went into effect on Jan. 19 — is a unilateral decision not envisioned in the bipartisan law passed by Congress and upheld last year by the Supreme Court. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Ill.), a member of the House Intelligence and China committees, told POLITICO. 'The national security concerns and vulnerabilities are still there, and they have not gone away. I would argue they've almost become more enhanced in many ways.' But Trump's extension of the TikTok law largely boxed out Republicans in both chambers who have shown little inclination — beyond stern words — to prevent him from making these postponements almost routine. Many GOP lawmakers saw themselves as granting the president space to cut a promised deal while the White House deals with urgent priorities, like trade negotiations and the Israel-Iran conflict. 'In light of everything going on, I think he did the right thing,' Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a China hawk who voted for the ban, told POLITICO of Trump. 'I have concerns about all kinds of things — that [the extension] is on the list — but it's not at the top of the list.' Though Trump has promised his TikTok negotiations areclosely tied to trade talks with China, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testified last week to a Senate panel that TikTok's sale was not currently a part of the negotiations with China, raising a further potential obstacle to Trump inking a deal in the near future. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close ally of the president and longtime national-security hawk said earlier in the week: 'The sooner we get that issue solved, the better,' without offering any ideas for further enforcement. 'I just want finality,' Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told POLITICO. 'I want some certainty and just know that the Congress isn't being played when we make a decision [that the app] be sold.' Another member of the House China Committee, Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa), told POLITICO, 'No more extensions. It's time to follow through.' Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), also a member of the China panel, noted in a post on X Thursday the law only allows one extension of the compliance deadline, adding, 'I was proud to support the ban of TikTok and believe the law should be implemented as written.' With their comments, the lawmakers echoed House China Chair John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), who in early June called for the U.S. to 'let [TikTok] go dark' to bring China to the table to negotiate. He reiterated that stance on Friday. 'Delays only embolden the Chinese Communist Party,' Moolenaar said in a statement to POLITICO. 'I urge the administration to enforce the law as written and protect the American people from this growing national security threat.' Still, observers say Republicans are not exercising their leverage to demand the White House enforce the law they helped write, for example by withholding funding or congressional oversight hearings. 'I keep reading that Republicans are 'frustrated' and 'impatient' about their TikTok law being ignored, but they should stop complaining to reporters and take it up with Trump,' said Adam Kovacevich, founder and CEO of the pro-tech Chamber of Progress. Among the Republicans being undercut by the president is his own secretary of state. Marco Rubio — who as senator was one of the loudest critics of TikTok's ties to China, and a huge backer of the app's ban — has been conspicuously silent as Trump has repeatedly granted more time to strike a deal for its sale. 'You have to decide what's more important, our national security and the threat that it poses to our national security,' Rubio told POLITICO in March 2023, as Congress was considering a ban. 'You have to weigh that against what you might think the electoral consequences of it are. For me, it's an easy balancing act. I mean, there is no balance. I'm always going to be for our national security.' A spokesperson for Rubio at the State Department did not respond to a request for comment. Democrats — even those who support keeping TikTok online — say Trump's approach is the wrong one. 'These endless extensions are not only illegal, but they also put TikTok's fate in the hands of risk-averse corporate shareholders,' Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) told POLITICO in a statement. 'This is deeply unfair to TikTok's creators and users. I'm prepared to work towards a solution, but Trump isn't coming to the table.'
