Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.84x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Rocket Lab Usa Inc generates $0.84 in operating cash flow (-$165.5M OCF vs -$198.2M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk
