Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Planet Labs PBC share price today?

The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Planet Labs PBC pay? Planet Labs PBC pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Planet Labs PBC on? Planet Labs PBC is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Planet Labs PBC profitable? Planet Labs PBC posted a net loss of $9.4 M in the Jul 2026 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of $247 M. That loss is 8.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $22.6 M. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Planet Labs PBC make, and is it growing? Planet Labs PBC reported $116 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +58.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 23.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $308 M. The last four reported quarters add to $378 M. FY26 revenue was $308 M, +25.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +43.5% on average, against 23.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +44.1%, against +26.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Planet Labs PBC keep? Planet Labs PBC's operating margin was −12.0% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 12.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −96.7% and −27.1%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +12.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Planet Labs PBC's profit turning into cash? Planet Labs PBC's cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY26 it brought in $134 M of operating cash against −$247 M of profit. After $76.7 M of spending on assets, $57.6 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Planet Labs PBC's cash go? Planet Labs PBC does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $159 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 17.2% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $159 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is Planet Labs PBC's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Planet Labs PBC has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Planet Labs PBC at 15.0× its FY26 revenue of $308 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Planet Labs PBC business getting better or worse? Planet Labs PBC's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Planet Labs PBC earn on its capital? Planet Labs PBC earned a ROE of −131% in FY26. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 22.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −80.2% net margin and 0.27× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −80.2% net margin × 0.27× asset turnover × 6.08× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −131.7% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −7.1% − 15.2% = −22.3 percentage points. The 15.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Planet Labs PBC have too much debt? Planet Labs PBC has total debt of $499 M against shareholder equity of $564 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 0.88× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.04 in FY23 to 2.45 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Planet Labs PBC shareholding pattern? 12.2% of Planet Labs PBC's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Planet Labs PBC from balance-sheet trouble? For Planet Labs PBC, the Z-score is 4.33. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 4.33 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Planet Labs PBC rank in its industry?
