The latest announcement is out from Planet Labs PBC ( (PL) ).

On January 12, 2026, Planet Labs PBC announced a multi-year, low nine-figure agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces to provide a dedicated suite of satellites along with access to its high-resolution data and intelligence solutions to support Sweden’s peace and security operations.

Planet said the contract’s commercial payments will be recognized as revenue over several years and confirmed that this new business does not alter its previously issued financial guidance for the quarter and fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, as it plans to leverage the expanded fleet capacity to serve both government and commercial customers worldwide.

Spark’s Take on PL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PL is a Neutral.

The score is driven mainly by improving fundamentals and a strong earnings-call outlook (accelerating growth, rising backlog, recurring revenue mix, and sustained adjusted EBITDA/FCF positivity), supported by an uptrend in technicals. These positives are tempered by ongoing GAAP profitability challenges, stretched momentum indicators, and weak valuation signals due to a negative P/E and no dividend.
