On September 24, Planet Labs Pbc rose 5.86% in regular trading, trading at $17.385 per share, with turnover of approximately $109 million. The rally was primarily driven by the company's announcement of the Amazon.ia - Inteligencia Ambiental initiative, a large-scale environmental intelligence program targeting biodiversity conservation across the Amazon region.
The initiative brings together more than two dozen partners, with the Bezos Earth Fund providing over $14 million in grants through the Andes Amazon Fund and the World Resources Institute. The program will combine Planet Labs' satellite imagery with ground-collected data and leverage AI to track biodiversity and ecosystem health, delivering actionable intelligence to scientists, conservation groups, governments, and local communities.
The announcement comes amid a series of positive developments for the company, including the recent opening of a 5,700-square-meter satellite manufacturing facility in Berlin for Pelican spacecraft assembly, a European defense contract, and a strong Q2 earnings report in which revenue of $116.1 million significantly beat the $104.5 million consensus estimate. Analysts maintain an average overweight rating with a mean price target of $37.20.
