Planet Labs shares are climbing as the company surprised Wall Street with record fourth‑quarter revenue, a $900 million backlog, and an R&D partnership with Google to explore space-based data centers after launching 40 new satellites. These signs of accelerating demand and expanding commercial use of its space data helped convince investors that growth is gaining momentum.
On the back of the strong quarter, Planet Labs lifted its guidance for the upcoming first quarter and for fiscal 2027, signaling confidence in future sales. Analysts responded by raising their price targets, highlighting the company’s improving fundamentals and the potential for faster long-term growth in the satellite imagery and data market.
