Planet Labs PBC shares are sliding as traders take profits after a sharp rally that followed a fourth-quarter revenue beat and a wave of optimism linked to SpaceX IPO buzz, even as the company missed earnings-per-share expectations. The pullback is being compounded by broader market weakness, with investors turning more cautious amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and surging oil prices.
While some analysts have recently raised their price targets on Planet Labs PBC, the stock is now struggling to push higher after touching fresh 52-week highs. That combination of profit-taking at elevated levels and lingering concerns over the latest earnings miss is leaving the stock under pressure despite the more upbeat Wall Street targets.
