Earnings season stays in focus from next week, with a Benzinga-selected slate that leans heavily into AI infrastructure, optical hardware and space communications. For retail traders, the cleanest "expectations check" often shows up in the options market, where implied moves translate the tug-of-war between a beat, a miss and — more often — guidance, according to Benzinga Pro.

The marquee name on this list is Coherent, but the biggest implied swing is saved for the final section as the countdown runs from the tightest setup to the widest.

9. Rocket Lab Corp. | Mkt Cap: $45B | Implied Move: 12.67%

Benzinga Pro data show options are pricing in a 12.67% move around the print. With Rocket Lab valued at $45.4 billion, that’s about $5.76 billion of market value at stake as traders handicap how much progress the company is making as it scales.

Shares have traded largely flat in 2026, down 0.4% year-to-date and trading 0.8% above the 200-day moving average. Even with that stability, the stock sits about 48% below the 52-week high of $151 heading into earnings.
