Planet Labs PBC shares are sliding as investors react to a much wider-than-expected quarterly loss, with earnings coming in at a $0.48 per-share deficit versus the $0.05 loss analysts had forecast. The selloff is being amplified by market jitters tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict, which is lifting oil prices and pressuring riskier satellite names.
The latest drop also follows a bout of profit-taking after Planet Labs enjoyed a strong post-earnings rally earlier this month. Some analysts are now rethinking their stance on the stock, weighing the company’s weaker results and rising macro uncertainty against its longer-term growth story.
