Planet Labs PBC shares have been climbing on a mix of company-specific improvements and broader sector tailwinds. Rising geopolitical tensions have driven money into space and defense-related names, and Planet’s stock has ridden that wave so strongly that some technical indicators now look stretched. At the same time, analysts have turned more positive as the company shows better cash generation, improving EBITDA and free cash flow trends, and a sharply bigger backlog, even though weak GAAP profitability and valuation concerns still hold back the most aggressive upgrades. The stock’s strength also triggered the issuance of earnout shares after it surpassed preset price milestones, slightly increasing the share count and underscoring the sustained post‑merger rally.
