On June 5, Planet Labs declined 10.14% in regular trading, trading at $35.53/share, with trading volume of $278 million. Despite reporting Q1 results that beat expectations, the stock faced heavy selling pressure driven by a combination of elevated valuation and a large equity issuance plan.
The company reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $94.2 million, up 42% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $90 million. Adjusted EPS loss of $0.03 also beat the expected $0.04 loss. Full-year revenue guidance was raised to $425-$441 million. However, GAAP net loss widened significantly to $138.9 million, primarily due to approximately $106.5 million in non-cash losses from warrant revaluation. Simultaneously, the company filed an at-the-market equity distribution agreement for up to $1.5 billion in common stock, amplifying dilution fears.
With shares having surged from a 52-week low of $3.78 to above $43, the price-to-sales ratio stood at approximately 31x. In this high-valuation context, investors chose to lock in profits. Peer BlackSky Technology fell 9.12% on the same day, reflecting continued sector-wide pressure.
