What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Iridium announced it will release its Q2 2026 results on July 22 but will skip the conference call due to its pending acquisition by Rocket Lab. The definitive agreement with RKLB was disclosed on June 29, 2026, shifting focus from standalone quarterly results to deal progress, regulatory clearance, and closing risk. This makes near-term price movement more driven by deal certainty than fundamentals.
