Why PL stock is moving today

Planet Labs PBC A stock is moving lower by approximately 14.2% over the last eight sessions, with the price dropping from $21.16 to $18.15. The decline follows a recent price target cut by Deutsche Bank, which lowered its target for Planet Labs to $28 from $36. This adjustment, combined with continued unprofitability and a high beta of 2.11, has contributed to the recent volatility. The stock opened at $18.10 and has traded as low as $17.05 during the session, with volume so far at 2.4 million shares, or 0.2 times the 3-month average.

What Happened

Deutsche Bank’s revised price target has signaled a shift in analyst sentiment for Planet Labs, which has a market capitalization of $6.6 billion. The company remains unprofitable, with a trailing twelve-month earnings per share of -1.08 and a net margin of -95.1%. Despite a 44.1% year-over-year revenue increase, the stock continues to face downward pressure due to its high beta and poor profitability. Meanwhile, several other Polish-listed companies have reported corporate developments, including new contracts and changes in major shareholdings, but none directly impact Planet Labs. The recent earnings report showed adjusted earnings per share of $0.02, beating expectations, but the stock has continued to decline.

What The Data Shows

The intraday session has shown a sharp decline, with the stock hitting a session low of $17.05. Volume remains significantly below the 3-month average, suggesting limited retail or institutional participation. On the options front, a notable call option print of $911K has been recorded, but no put activity has been observed. Over the last 90 days, insiders have sold a total of $11.4 million worth of shares, with the most recent filing on July 24. The stock has also printed four 52-week lows on September 8, indicating ongoing bearish pressure.

What To Watch

Planet Labs is expected to report earnings soon, and the breadth of analyst coverage will be a key factor to monitor. Coverage has increased with 10 stories from two sources in the last 36 hours, including the price target cut from Deutsche Bank.
