On July 10, Planet Labs fell 5.3% in regular trading, trading at $25.7/share, with turnover of approximately $35.92 million, marking its fourth consecutive trading day of decline.
On the news front, the company previously announced the successful deployment of its Pelican-11 technology demonstration satellite into orbit aboard a SpaceCX rocket launched from California to test hardware for its next-generation fleet. However, Planet Labs explicitly stated the spacecraft will serve strictly as an engineering test and is not expected to gather useable data for commercial sale. While the second-generation Pelican satellites are expected to achieve 0.3-meter imaging resolution — up from the current 0.5-meter capability — significantly enhancing fine-scale surface monitoring, the lack of near-term revenue contribution has triggered sustained profit-taking since the announcement on July 7.
The stock has declined from approximately $29.11 on July 7 to the current level, reflecting a classic sell-the-news pattern as investors exit positions following the materialization of a previously anticipated catalyst.
