Whos in the same sector?

Screening Filters

1. sector: Industrials

   • Purpose: Find companies that are in the same broad sector as Rocket Lab.
   • Rationale: Rocket Lab (RKLB) is classified in the Industrials sector (specifically Aerospace & Defense in most classification systems). Using sector = Industrials pulls in firms exposed to similar macro and cyclical drivers (manufacturing, aerospace, defense, transportation, etc.), which is what you asked for when you said “same sector.”

2. region: United States

   • Purpose: Limit the peer group to companies based in / primarily listed in the U.S.
   • Rationale: RKLB is a U.S.-listed company, so restricting to region = United States focuses on peers that operate under the same market, regulatory, accounting, and macro environment. This makes comparisons (valuation, growth, margins, funding conditions) more meaningful than mixing in global industrials subject to very different local conditions.

3. list_exchange: XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. exchanges:
     • XNYS = NYSE
     • XNAS = NASDAQ
     • XASE = NYSE American
   • Rationale: RKLB trades on NASDAQ (XNAS). Limiting to these three exchanges ensures you get listed, relatively liquid U.S. Industrials peers rather than illiquid OTC names or foreign secondary listings. This is typically the most useful peer universe for an investor analyzing RKLB.

Why Results Match:

• The sector filter (Industrials) directly matches your request for “companies in the same sector as Rocket Lab.”
• The U.S. region and major-exchange filters narrow that sector set to the most comparable, investable peers to RKLB—U.S.-listed industrial companies trading on NYSE, NASDAQ, or NYSE American.

If you instead want global industrial/space peers (including non‑U.S. names), the region and exchange filters could be relaxed—but for most RKLB investors, these filters provide a clean, practical peer group.
