Rocket Lab stock price tumbles as bold move rattles investors

Rocket Lab (RKLB) investors woke up to a different stock than the one they went to bed with.

On May 20, RKLB closed at a fresh record of $134.28, up 5.47% on the day, capping a run that has more than doubled the shares since December.

By May 21 pre-market, the stock was down roughly 6.6% to around $124, with overnight trading on the Blue Ocean ATS showing prices near $123 to $126.

The trigger was not an earnings miss or a failed launch. It was a piece of paper filed late Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
