Markets Rally as U.S.-Iran Peace Agreement Lifts Risk Appetite: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 15, 2026 5:50 AM
IH Market News U.S. stock futures moved sharply higher on Monday after Washington and Tehran announced an interim peace agreement, raising hopes that a conflict which has disrupted global markets for more than three months could soon come to an end. While important aspects of the agreement have yet to be fully disclosed, investors reacted positively to news that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen later this week. The development weighed on oil prices, boosted gold and pressured the U.S. dollar as markets also evaluated the potential impact on upcoming Federal Reserve policy decisions. Wall Street Futures Extend Gains By 03:03 ET (07:03 GMT), Dow futures had advanced 492 points, or 1.0%, while S&P 500 futures rose 89 points, or 1.2%. Nasdaq 100 futures led the gains, climbing 590 points, or 1.9%. According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, “The fizz in staying in markets this morning as after 107 days and a seemingly endless number of false dawns, we finally have a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz.” The positive tone followed a strong finish to the previous week, supported by growing expectations of a diplomatic breakthrough and continued enthusiasm surrounding SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) after its record-breaking stock market debut. Shares in SpaceX remained above their $135 IPO price, valuing the company at more than $2 trillion and placing it among the largest publicly traded businesses in the United States. Other space-sector names, including Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) and Planet Labs (NYSE:PL), also benefited from renewed investor interest. Details of the Agreement Still Emerging Attention quickly shifted to the peace agreement itself, which both the United States and Iran confirmed had been reached and is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday. Although neither side has published a complete outline of the terms, media reports indicate the framework may include a 60-day period dedicated to negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. President Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Iran had agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons under the arrangement, although that commitment was not referenced in his social media statements on Sunday. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government played a mediating role throughout the conflict, said the two countries had “declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts.” The announcement came despite concerns that the process could be derailed after Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon prompted criticism from Trump directed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Oil Prices Fall on Hormuz Reopening Plans One of the most immediate market reactions was seen in energy markets after Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on Friday following the completion of mine-clearing operations. The prospect of restoring traffic through the strategic waterway, which has faced severe disruption during the conflict, triggered another sharp decline in oil prices. By 08:28 ET, Brent crude had fallen 5.1% to $82.84 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped 5.8% to $79.93 per barrel. Trump also indicated that the longstanding U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted alongside the reopening of Hormuz, potentially restoring a critical route through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments moved before the conflict began. Despite the sharp sell-off, some analysts questioned whether oil prices would return to pre-war levels. “Financial markets are once again excited about a potential Middle East peace deal and the possible resumption of energy flows out of the Gulf. Whether that delivers much lower energy prices is highly questionable,” analysts at ING said in a note. Gold Extends Rally as Dollar Weakens Gold prices continued to advance, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and shifting expectations around inflation and interest rates. Spot gold rose 2.3% to $4,315.44 per ounce, reaching its highest level since 9 June and extending gains for a third consecutive session. Gold futures also gained 2.3% to $4,336.17 per ounce. The dollar weakened to a 10-day low against major currencies, reducing its appeal as a safe-haven asset following the easing of geopolitical tensions. A softer dollar typically supports demand for gold by making the metal more affordable for international buyers. Focus Turns to Federal Reserve Decision Investors are now assessing how the changing geopolitical backdrop could influence the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision later this week. Markets broadly expect policymakers to leave rates unchanged on Wednesday, although expectations for future policy moves remain uncertain. Recent inflation data has prompted investors to scale back expectations for rate cuts, while some now see a possibility that borrowing costs could remain elevated for longer. Analysts at Vital Knowledge said, “[I]t’s still very likely that the easing bias will be removed from the FOMC statement.” However, they noted that Fed Chair Kevin Warsh “could put his thumb on the scale during the [post-decision] press conference and tip things in a dovish direction by reiterating” that several policymakers have previously suggested rate cuts could become appropriate if the Iran conflict were resolved.

Every Space Stock Just Got a YardstickJune 11, 2026 9:05 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.A historic IPO is about to hand the orbital economy its first public price tag — and that single number will echo across every space ticker on the board.BREVARD COUNTY, Fla., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American News Group News Commentary — In private markets, value is whispered. In public markets, it is shouted — printed on a ticker, updated by the second, available to everyone. The commercial space sector is about to make that transition at its very summit. As reported, SpaceX is set to price its initial public offering in this window, ahead of a Nasdaq debut, and the figure it settles on will become the reference point against which the entire sector is measured for years to come. It is a fitting capstone to a stretch in which public markets have moved decisively to embrace space. Only days ago, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index confirmed its 2026 reconstitution would add commercial-space names — including Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), effective June 29, 2026 — formally recognizing that the sector has grown large enough to matter to the market's broadest benchmarks. Pricing the giant and indexing its peers are two expressions of the same shift: the orbital economy is being assigned public value at unprecedented scale.From Private Whisper to Public NumberSpaceX has spent its life valued in the half-light of private rounds and secondary transactions. Its IPO drags that valuation into daylight. Having filed its public S-1 and applied to list on Nasdaq under the symbol SPCX, the company is reported to be pricing around $135 per share, at a valuation in the trillions, with a potential raise that at the high end would rank among the largest ever brought to market. (Those figures are as reported and remain subject to final pricing.) The valuation narrative leans heavily on Starlink, the satellite-internet business believed to generate most of SpaceX's revenue.What makes this a sector event rather than a company event is the benchmark it creates. The instant a public price exists for the orbital economy's flagship, every other space name is implicitly compared against it — its growth rate, its path to profitability, the multiple the market assigns it. A public anchor at the top changes how investors think about the price of everything below it. That is why the pricing of one company reverberates across an entire board of tickers.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingThe Spectrum of Space the Market Is PricingTo see why this repricing matters broadly, consider how varied the listed space sector has become — from orbital habitats to phone-connecting satellites to imaging constellations to advanced manufacturing. Four companies sketch that range.Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) sits at the infrastructure summit of the group, developing the Starlab commercial space station intended as a successor to the International Space Station and recently agreeing to acquire lunar-delivery company Astrobotic in a deal valued at up to $300 million. With raised guidance and rising analyst targets, Voyager captures how aggressively the market is re-rating the companies building the orbital economy's largest structures.Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) runs one of the world's largest Earth-observation satellite fleets, selling imagery and analytics into agriculture, government, mapping, and defense. As a recurring-revenue data business riding on space hardware, Planet represents the information-services layer of the sector — proof that space value is not only about launch and hardware but about the data that orbit makes possible.AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) is chasing direct-to-smartphone connectivity from orbit, working with major mobile carriers and recently advancing both a North American spectrum settlement and a pending Russell 1000® Index addition. ASTS shows the market's willingness to richly value space companies aiming at vast terrestrial markets — here, global mobile coverage.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) provides metal additive-manufacturing systems that produce complex, production-grade parts across defense, space, and aerospace markets — a reminder that a sector-wide repricing also lifts the specialized manufacturers beneath the headline launch and satellite names. With first-quarter 2026 revenue up 48% year-over-year and a multi-year defense logistics contract, Velo3D anchors the production-and-supply-chain layer of the orbital economy. These companies are cited to illustrate the breadth of the space sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they vary widely in scale and maturity.Starfighters' Place on the YardstickStarfighters Space approaches orbit from an angle unlike any of these peers. It operates what it calls the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, pursuing an air-launch model in which a fast, high-flying aircraft gives a launch vehicle a head start in altitude and velocity — with the runway responsiveness and reusability that an aircraft, rather than a fixed pad, can offer. As a newly public and newly indexed company, it is exactly the sort of differentiated name that draws fresh eyes when a sector-wide repricing is underway. CEO Tim Franta described the Russell inclusion as an important milestone reflecting growing awareness of the company's differentiated platform.As always, perspective matters: Starfighters is an early-stage, small-cap company with a volatile share history, and a benchmark set by a trillion-dollar peer raises expectations as much as it raises visibility. The yardstick that lifts sentiment can also expose how far an emerging operator still has to travel. Both arrive at once.Why This Catalyst, Why NowA sector gets re-rated when something forces the market to confront it whole — and a record-scale IPO is one of the most powerful forcing events there is. Until now, the space category lacked a large, liquid, public anchor; valuations leaned on private marks and a scattering of smaller listed names too varied to set a standard. Pricing a flagship of this magnitude changes that instantly. The most-scrutinized space business on earth gets a visible, market-cleared multiple, and every valuation model in the sector must be re-examined against it. The argument-by-analogy era ends; the era of a public benchmark begins.This is precisely why the window around a mega-listing produces the sharpest, most broad-based moves in a sector. Sidelined capital finds a credible entry; crowded positions get rebalanced as the investable map widens. Launch providers, satellite operators, infrastructure suppliers, and specialists all get caught in the same wave of re-pricing. The investors who navigate it best tend to look past the giant's opening print and toward how the surge of attention redistributes across the names surrounding it.From Specialist Bet to Mainstream HoldingThe deeper shift is structural and durable. Reporting around the SpaceX offering has highlighted an unusually large planned retail allocation — an intent to place shares with ordinary investors rather than reserving them almost entirely for big institutions. Even setting aside the precise mechanics, the message is clear: the sector's flagship is being framed as a broadly owned, mainstream stock. Pair that with index inclusion pulling smaller space names into benchmark funds, and the destination is unmistakable — space is migrating from specialist mandates and venture rounds into everyday portfolios, index products, and retirement accounts.Mainstream ownership reshapes the sector's economics. It deepens liquidity, widens shareholder bases, and elevates the entire category's profile, which makes emerging names easier to discover, research, and finance. When the sector's giant becomes a household holding, the ceiling rises for every credible company beneath it. That is the compounding dividend of a watershed listing: it does not merely value one business — it enlarges the audience and the capital pool for the whole field.A Reference Point for a GenerationWhen SpaceX prints its price, the space sector inherits something it has never had — a public, market-set valuation at its core, a number every other company can be weighed against. Combined with the broadest U.S. index simultaneously absorbing space names into trillions of tracked dollars, the message is unmistakable: the orbital economy is now being valued in the open, by the whole market, all at once. The yardstick is here. What investors do with it will shape the sector's next decade.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at:

The Day the Market Puts a Price on the Final FrontierJune 11, 2026 8:45 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.When the sector's largest company sets its price, every other space stock suddenly has a number to be measured against. That reckoning is happening now.Baystreet.ca News Commentary CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 11, 2026 /CNW/ -- Markets run on price discovery, and there is no more dramatic example than the moment a long-private giant finally tells the world what it thinks it is worth. As reported, that moment arrives for SpaceX around now, with the company's initial public offering expected to price ahead of its Nasdaq debut. The number it lands on will not just value one company — it will recalibrate how investors value an entire sector, because for the first time the orbital economy will have a public, market-cleared anchor at its center. That repricing is landing on a sector that public markets have only just begun to formally embrace. Just days ago, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index confirmed it is adding commercial-space names in its 2026 reconstitution — including Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE: FJET), effective June 29, 2026 — a structural signal that space has grown large enough to register on the market's broadest screens. The pricing of SpaceX and the indexing of its smaller peers are two halves of the same story: capital is assigning real, public value to space at a pace and scale the sector has never experienced.Putting a Number on the UntouchableFor most of its life, SpaceX could only be valued through the narrow window of private funding rounds and secondary sales — numbers visible to a select few. Its public offering changes that overnight. Having filed its public S-1 and applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX, the company is reported to be pricing its shares around $135, at a valuation measured in the trillions of dollars, with a raise that at the upper end would stand among the largest in the history of public markets. (All figures are as reported and remain subject to final pricing.) Much of the case rests on Starlink, the satellite-broadband arm estimated to drive the majority of company revenue.The significance for everyone else is the benchmark effect. Once the market sets a public price on the sector's flagship, every other space company is implicitly measured against it — on growth, on margins, on the multiple investors are willing to pay for a slice of the orbital economy. Some names will look cheap by comparison; others expensive. But all of them gain something they lacked before: a reference point. Price discovery at the top cascades down through the whole category.A Sector Being Valued in Real TimeThe clearest evidence that this is a sector-wide repricing, not a one-company event, is how broadly capital has been moving across listed space names — spanning space stations, direct-to-phone satellites, Earth observation, and the advanced manufacturing that makes missions possible. Four names map that breadth.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingVoyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) has become a centerpiece of the 'space has never been hotter' narrative. The defense-and-space company is developing Starlab, a commercial successor to the International Space Station, and recently agreed to acquire lunar-delivery specialist Astrobotic in a deal valued at up to $300 million to deepen its Moon-economy exposure. With analysts raising targets and management raising guidance, Voyager illustrates how quickly the market is re-rating credible space-infrastructure stories.AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) is pursuing one of the sector's boldest ideas: a satellite network that connects directly to ordinary, unmodified smartphones, in partnership with major carriers. With a North American spectrum settlement and its own pending addition to the Russell 1000® Index, ASTS shows how the market is willing to assign substantial value to space companies attacking enormous terrestrial end-markets — in its case, global mobile connectivity.Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) operates one of the largest Earth-observation satellite fleets in the world, selling imagery and analytics to agriculture, government, mapping, and defense customers. As a data-and-analytics business built on space hardware, Planet represents the recurring-revenue, information-services layer of the orbital economy — a different and increasingly valued way to monetize space.Velo3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: VELO) supplies metal additive-manufacturing systems used to build mission-critical components for space, aviation, and defense programs — a reminder that the repricing sweeping the sector reaches the specialized manufacturers behind the hardware, not just the launch and satellite names. After posting first-quarter 2026 revenue up 48% year-over-year and reaching a positive gross-margin inflection, Velo3D represents the production-and-supply-chain layer of the orbital economy. These companies are referenced to illustrate the breadth of the space sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they differ widely in size and stage.Where Starfighters Sits in the RepricingStarfighters Space brings a model that looks like none of the above. The company operates what it describes as the world's only flight-ready MACH 2+ supersonic aircraft fleet from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, pursuing air-launch — releasing a vehicle from a fast, high-flying aircraft so the launch system inherits altitude and speed, with the runway responsiveness and reusability an aircraft platform implies. As a freshly public, recently indexed company, it is precisely the kind of differentiated niche name that a sector-wide repricing tends to surface, as investors hunt for exposure beyond the obvious giants. CEO Tim Franta framed the Russell inclusion as a milestone reflecting growing awareness of that differentiated platform.The caution is the same one that applies to any emerging name: Starfighters is early-stage and small-cap, its shares have been volatile, and a benchmark anchor set by a trillion-dollar peer cuts both ways — it can lift sentiment, but it also raises the bar for what investors expect operators to deliver. The opportunity and the scrutiny arrive together.Why the Timing Is the Whole StorySectors do not get repriced on a random Tuesday. They get repriced when a catalyst forces the market to look at an entire category with fresh eyes — and the SpaceX pricing is exactly that kind of forcing event. For years, valuing a space company meant arguing by analogy, because the sector lacked a large, liquid, public reference point. Private marks were stale and selective; public space names were too small or too varied to anchor the category. The pricing of a trillion-dollar flagship removes that excuse. Suddenly there is a live, visible multiple attached to the most scrutinized space business in the world, and every analyst model in the sector has to be re-run against it.That is why the days around a mega-listing tend to see the sharpest moves across an entire peer group, in both directions. Capital that had been waiting on the sidelines for a credible entry point finds one; capital that had been crowded into a handful of names reallocates as the opportunity set widens. The result is a burst of price discovery that ripples through launch providers, satellite operators, infrastructure suppliers, and niche specialists alike. Investors who understand that dynamic tend to focus less on the giant's first print and more on how the repricing redistributes attention across the names around it.A Sector Pulled Into the MainstreamThere is also a structural dimension that outlasts any single trading session. Reporting on the SpaceX offering has emphasized an unusually large intended retail allocation — a deliberate effort to put shares in the hands of ordinary investors rather than reserving them almost entirely for institutions. Whether or not those specifics hold at pricing, the signal is meaningful: the sector's flagship is being positioned as a broadly owned, mainstream holding, not a closed institutional club. That ambition, paired with index inclusion sweeping smaller space names into benchmark funds, points to the same destination — space becoming a category that shows up in everyday portfolios, retirement accounts, and index products, not just venture funds and specialist mandates.For the companies in the sector, mainstream ownership changes the game. It deepens liquidity, broadens the shareholder base, and raises the profile of the entire category — which in turn makes it easier for emerging names to be discovered, researched, and ultimately financed. A rising profile for the sector's giant tends to raise the ceiling for everyone operating credibly beneath it. That is the quiet, compounding benefit of a watershed listing: it does not just value one company; it expands the audience for the whole field.The Number That Reframes EverythingBy the time the week is out, the space sector will have something it has never had: a public, market-set price on its single most important company. That number becomes the gravitational center around which every other valuation in the sector orbits. For investors, the pricing of SpaceX is not the end of the story — it is the moment the whole sector gets a yardstick. And with the broadest U.S. index simultaneously folding space names into trillions in tracked capital, the orbital economy is being measured, valued, and owned by the public market all at once.CONTINUED … Learn more about Starfighters Space, Inc. at: https://usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingPOWERED BY EAGLE EYETrack the signal, not the noise.Eagle Eye delivers real-time investor intelligence — aggregating social, forum, and news data across the tickers that matter, so you can see what the market is talking about before it moves.Explore it now at Eagle-Eye.devCONTACT:Baystreet.ca

Planet Joins Industry-Academia Initiative to Advance Atmospheric Reentry Research with AstroscaleJune 9, 2026 8:03 AM
Business Wire Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced its role as a founding participant in the Atmospheric Impact of Reentered Spacecraft (AIRS) initiative. Convened by Astroscale Holdings Inc., the AIRS initiative is a first-of-its-kind industry-academia collaboration designed to improve scientific understanding of the effects of spacecraft reentry on Earth’s atmosphere. As activity in low Earth orbit (LEO) accelerates, the number of satellites reentering the atmosphere is expected to rise significantly. While historical efforts have focused on orbital debris, the AIRS initiative addresses the underexplored research area of chemical compounds released during reentry fragmentation and vaporization. By sharing non-proprietary manufacturing data and material compositions, Planet and Astroscale will empower academic researchers at the University of Southampton to build high-fidelity atmospheric models. "Our mission to make global change visible starts with a deep responsibility for the space environment in which we operate," said James Mason, Chief Space Officer at Planet. "Sustainable space operations must account for a satellite’s entire lifecycle, including its eventual reentry. By providing data to the AIRS initiative, we are helping the scientific community move past simulations and toward a factual, data-driven understanding of our industry’s atmospheric footprint." “Spacecraft reentry has long been treated as an optimal mission endpoint, but it is increasingly clear that we need a deeper scientific understanding of what happens during this phase,” said Mike Lindsay, Chief Technology Officer at Astroscale. “By enabling industry to contribute real-world data in a trusted way, AIRS removes critical barriers for atmospheric research and ensures space sustainability is guided with the most accurate and up-to-date information.” Planet’s participation demonstrates its commitment to Agile Aerospace and transparency – extending that transparency from the Earth’s surface to the very atmosphere that protects it. By contributing data from the world's largest Earth observation fleet, Planet is helping to ensure that the future of LEO is guided by evidence-based science.

Planet Reports Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2027June 4, 2026 4:10 PM
Business Wire Delivered Record Quarterly Revenue of $94 Million, up 42% YoY
Increased RPOs +81% YoY to $816 Million; Backlog +72% YoY to over $906 Million
Successfully Launched 3 Pelican Satellites, Including Sweden’s First Sovereign Reconnaissance Satellite
End of Period Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments Increased 223% YoY to $731 Million Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) (“Planet” or the “Company”), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced financial results for the period ended April 30, 2026. “Planet’s excellent start to the year is a testament to the mission-critical nature of our data in an increasingly complex world,” said Will Marshall, Planet’s Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson. “Planet is executing with speed and focus, evidenced by the successful launch of Sweden’s first sovereign reconnaissance satellite just four months after contract signing. By investing in AI, we are positioning Planet at the forefront of the industry and pioneering ways to make planetary-scale insights available and actionable to more users than ever before.” Ashley Johnson, Planet’s President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We delivered record revenue of $94.2 million, accelerating our top-line growth to 42% year-over-year, driven by exceptional execution across our global go-to-market and delivery teams. The momentum in our business is further reflected in our backlog, which grew 72% year-over-year to over $906 million, providing us with excellent visibility and predictability into our future growth.” Ms. Johnson continued, “We also announced the redemption of our outstanding public warrants, generating approximately $108 million in proceeds from exercises. We ended the quarter with $731 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, giving us a fortress balance sheet to confidently invest behind our core growth initiatives while maintaining our operational discipline.” First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2027 Financial and Key Metric Highlights: First quarter revenue increased 42% year-over-year to a record $94.2 million. Percent of recurring annual contract value (ACV) was 99% as of the end of the first quarter. First quarter gross margin was 54%, compared to 55% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. First quarter non-GAAP gross margin was 56%, compared to 59% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. First quarter net loss was ($138.9) million, compared to ($12.6) million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The first quarter of fiscal year 2027 net loss included an approximate ($106.5) million revaluation loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to stock price appreciation during the period. Planet announced the redemption of all of its outstanding public warrants during the quarter, resulting in approximately $107.8 million of proceeds from exercises of the public warrants. Additionally, the remaining private placement warrants were exercised on a cashless basis during the quarter. Consequently, revaluations from the change in the fair value of public warrant liabilities will not occur in future quarters. First quarter adjusted EBITDA loss was ($1.0) million, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. First quarter GAAP net loss per share was ($0.40) and non-GAAP net loss per share was ($0.03). First quarter GAAP net loss per share included an approximate ($0.31) impact from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to stock price appreciation during the period. First quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $15.4 million, and first quarter free cash flow was ($2.5) million. Ended the quarter with $730.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Please see “Planet’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion on how Planet calculates the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein. In addition, reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables at the end of this release. Recent Business Highlights: Growing Customer and Partner Relationships International Government Customer: During the quarter, Planet signed an eight-figure, one-year contract with an international Defense & Intelligence customer for dedicated capacity services from on-orbit satellites. This contract has provided the customer immediate access to high-resolution tasking capacity and advanced analytic solutions integrated across Planet’s Pelican, SkySat, and PlanetScope constellations. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency: During the quarter, the NGA awarded Planet a $21.9 million, one-year contract extension for maritime surveillance under the Luno B Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for Advanced Analytics for Maritime Operations and Reconnaissance (AAMOR). Separately, Planet also received a new award from the NGA for its Global Monitoring Service to support crisis response. These awards reinforce the U.S. government’s commitment to integrating commercial, AI-enabled geospatial intelligence into its national security architecture. These milestones underscore Planet’s position as a vital partner for customers seeking persistent monitoring to accelerate critical decision-making in a dynamic geopolitical landscape. U.S. Navy: During the quarter, Planet was awarded a six-month, $7.5 million contract renewal by the U.S. Navy for vessel detection and monitoring over key areas of interest throughout the Pacific. Greek Government: During the quarter, Planet was awarded a two-year, 7-figure agreement with the Greek government to support the country’s National Satellite Space Project. Signed through the European Space Agency (ESA) on behalf of the Hellenic Ministry of Digital Governance and the Hellenic Space Center, this contract will support historical change analysis, trend detection, rapid response during critical events, and the integration of satellite data into national monitoring workflows. Czech Paying Agency: During the quarter, Planet signed a two-year, 7-figure contract to provide satellite imagery and AI-powered analytics to the State Agricultural Intervention Fund (SZIF) of the Czech Republic. This deal will support the country-wide agricultural payments and monitoring system serving approximately 25,000 agricultural holdings across the Czech Republic. Scottish Government: In January, Planet received a 7-figure award from the Agricultural and Rural Economy Directorate with partner Computacenter for PlanetScope data and advanced analytics to support the Agricultural Reform Route Map. Planet's deep archive of data and AI analysis will aid in the country's agricultural transition by rewarding farmers who focus on sustainable food production, biodiversity, and net-zero emissions. John Deere: During the quarter, Planet was awarded a John Deere Supplier Sustainability Award for 2025. This award highlights the value of Planet's satellite data in powering next-generation precision agriculture technologies, helping to improve on-farm efficiency and positive environmental impact for John Deere. Nave Analytics: During the quarter, Nave Analytics, an AgTech company focused on scalable geospatial intelligence for irrigation and water management, signed a renewal. Since 2022, Nave Analytics has partnered with Planet, incorporating Planetary Variables such as Surface Soil Moisture and Biomass Proxy into its data fusion framework. Nave’s products provide farmers and their trusted advisors with near real-time data streams covering all components of the field water balance, planting and irrigation decision risks, and operational sustainability impacts. Watch Duty: During the quarter, Watch Duty became a new customer. Watch Duty is a non-profit public safety platform that provides real-time wildfire tracking, mapping, and emergency alerts, particularly in remote regions of the US where satellite imagery fills critical gaps in radio traffic and on-the-ground reporting. Watch Duty has begun integrating Planet’s imagery and data into their platform for mutual customers, with a lighthouse customer in the energy sector. Bezos Earth Fund: Supported by funding from the Bezos Earth Fund, Planet's Tropical Forest Observatory program is providing 15 environmental and research institutions with 12 months of Planet Monthly Mosaics and PlanetScope data. These broad-area monitoring products are utilized to track changes across the Amazon biome, empowering these institutions to help halt and reverse tropical forest loss. New Technologies and Products Successfully Launched 3 Pelican Satellites: In May, Planet launched three additional AI-enabled Pelican satellites aboard a SpaceX launch vehicle, bringing the total number of high-resolution Pelicans on orbit to nine. Notably, this mission included the Swedish Armed Forces’ first sovereign reconnaissance satellite, which launched just over four months after their contract was signed. Planet AI Application: Planet launched the private beta of a new AI application, a pioneering tool focused on making Planet’s massive global data archive queryable through natural language. By leveraging Planet’s daily data and integrating LLMs, it can help non-technical users to search the data through space and time, conduct complex time-series analysis, generate answers, and produce automated insights and analytic reports at speed and scale. SuperRes: In May, Planet announced SuperRes, an AI-powered technology to improve the resolution of PlanetScope data into a 2m-class resolution visual solution, providing clarity for human-in-the-loop analysis with scale and frequency. New Tanager Satellite: During the quarter, Planet announced an agreement with partners Carbon Mapper and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to design a specialized, shortwave infrared only iteration of the Tanager spacecraft. This design would expand the swath width of the instrument, enabling more imaging area per collect. This new satellite is aimed at accelerating and building upon the existing Tanager satellite mission by enhancing atmospheric gas detection and supporting commercial use cases like fire fuel monitoring. Shipped Pelican-11 to Launch Site: Earlier this week, Planet announced that the Pelican-11 satellite was shipped to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California ahead of its launch aboard the upcoming Transporter-17 mission with SpaceX. This technology demonstration is the first of the Gen-2 Pelican satellites, which are expected to progress to providing up to 30cm-class imagery. Financial Outlook For the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, ending July 31, 2026, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $102 million to $107 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 52% to 55%. Adjusted EBITDA profit is expected to be in the range of approximately $0 to $5 million for the quarter. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $21 million and $27 million for the quarter. For the full fiscal year 2027, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $425 million to $441 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 52% to 54%. Adjusted EBITDA profit is expected to be in the range of approximately $0 and $10 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $80 million and $95 million for the year. Planet has not reconciled its non-GAAP financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization are uncertain or out of Planet’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 and full fiscal year 2027 will have a significant impact on Planet’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Planet’s non-GAAP outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts. The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect Planet’s expectations as of today’s date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially.

Planet’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described further below, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, backlog and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures the Company uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies, which may have different definitions from the Company’s. Further, certain of the non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude stock-based compensation expenses, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the Company and an important part of its compensation strategy. Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin: The Company defines and calculates Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting. The Company defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. Non-GAAP Expenses: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses as, in each case, the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure (cost of revenue, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses) adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, that are classified within each of the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Loss from Operations: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expense, employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and the income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines and calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income and expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, other income (expense), net, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer taxes related to earnout share vesting. The Company presents non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described above, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in Planet’s industry and facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, the Company believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. Backlog: The Company defines and calculates backlog as remaining performance obligations plus the cancelable portion of the contract value for contracts that provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty and written orders where funding has not been appropriated. Backlog does not include unexercised contract options. Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted revenue that will be invoiced and recognized in revenue in future periods. Remaining performance obligations do not include contracts which provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty, written orders where funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options. An increasing and meaningful portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with the U.S. government and other government customers. Cancellation provisions, such as termination for convenience clauses, are common in contracts with the U.S. government and certain other government customers. The Company presents backlog because the portion of its customer contracts with such cancellation provisions represents a meaningful amount of the Company’s expected future revenues. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast the Company’s future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps the Company identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. The Company also believes backlog is useful for investors in forecasting the Company’s future results and understanding the growth of its business. Customer cancellation provisions relating to termination for convenience clauses and funding appropriation requirements are outside of the Company’s control, and as a result, the Company may fail to realize the full value of such contracts. Free Cash Flow: The Company defines and calculates free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. The Company presents free cash flow because it believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in the Company’s business and liquidity. Management uses free cash flow, in addition to GAAP measures, to help manage our business, prepare budgets, and for annual planning. Rule of 40: The Company defines and calculates Rule of 40 as the sum of year-over-year revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue. The Company may refer to a “Rule of” number other than 40 to refer to the sum of revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue for the period given. Other Key Metrics ACV and EoP ACV Book of Business: In connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize, the Company calculates annual contract value (“ACV”) for contracts of one year or greater as the total amount of value that a customer has contracted to pay for the most recent 12 month period for the contract. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. For short-term contracts (contracts less than 12 months), ACV is equal to total contract value. The Company also calculates EoP ACV book of business in connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts, excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. Active contracts exclude any contract that has been canceled, expired prior to the last day of the period without renewing, or for any other reason is not expected to generate revenue in the subsequent period. For contracts ending on the last day of the period, the ACV is either updated to reflect the ACV of the renewed contract or, if the contract has not yet renewed or extended, the ACV is excluded from the EoP ACV book of business. The Company does not annualize short-term contracts in calculating its EoP ACV book of business. The Company calculates the ACV of usage-based contracts based on the committed contracted revenue or the revenue achieved on the usage-based contract in the prior 12-month period. Percent of Recurring ACV: Percent of recurring ACV is the portion of the total EoP ACV book of business that is recurring in nature. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. The Company defines percent of recurring ACV as the dollar value of all data subscription contracts and the committed portion of usage-based contracts (excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users) divided by the total dollar value of all contracts in our EoP ACV book of business. The Company believes percent of recurring ACV is useful to investors to better understand how much of the Company’s revenue is from customers that have the potential to renew their contracts over multiple years rather than being one-time in nature. The Company tracks percent of recurring ACV to inform estimates for the future revenue growth potential of our business and improve the predictability of our financial results. There are no significant estimates underlying management’s calculation of percent of recurring ACV, but management applies judgment as to which customers have an active contract at a period end for the purpose of determining EoP ACV book of business, which is used as part of the calculation of percent of recurring ACV. Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue: The Company defines capital expenditures as purchases of property and equipment plus capitalized internally developed software development costs, which are included in our statements of cash flows from investing activities. The Company defines capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue as the total amount of capital expenditures divided by total revenue in the reported period. Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a performance measure that we use to evaluate the appropriate level of capital expenditures needed to support demand for the Company’s data services and related revenue, and to provide a comparable view of the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies, which may invest significantly greater amounts in their satellites to deliver their data to customers. The Company uses an agile space systems strategy, which means we invest in a larger number of significantly lower cost satellites and software infrastructure to automate the management of the satellites and to deliver the Company’s data to clients. As a result of the Company’s strategy and business model, the Company’s capital expenditures may be more similar to software companies with large data center infrastructure costs. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to look at the level of capital expenditure investments relative to revenue when evaluating the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies or to other software and data companies with significant data center infrastructure investment requirements. The Company believes capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a useful metric for investors because it provides visibility to the level of capital expenditures required to operate the Company and the Company’s relative capital efficiency. Net Dollar Retention Rate: The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company defines existing customers as customers with an active contract with the Company. The Company believes Net Dollar Retention Rate is a useful metric for investors as it can be used to measure its ability to retain and grow revenue generated from its existing customers, on which its ability to drive long-term growth and profitability is, in part, dependent. The Company uses Net Dollar Retention Rate to assess customer adoption of new products, inform opportunities to make improvements across its products, identify opportunities to improve operations, and manage go to market functions, as well as to understand how much future growth may come from cross-selling and up-selling customers. Management applies judgment in determining the value of active contracts in a given period, as set forth in the definition of ACV. Net Dollar Retention Rate including Winbacks: The Company assesses two metrics for net dollar retention–Net Dollar Retention Rate, as described above, and Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks. A winback is a previously existing customer that was inactive at the start of the measurement period but has reactivated during the measurement period. The reactivation period must be within 24 months from the last active contract with the customer; otherwise, the customer is counted as a new customer and therefore excluded from the retention rate metrics. The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers and winbacks in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company believes this metric is useful to investors as it captures the value of customer contracts that resume business with the Company after being inactive and thereby provides a quantification of the Company’s ability to recapture lost business. Management uses this metric to understand the adoption of our products and long-term customer retention, as well as the success of marketing campaigns and sales initiatives in re-engaging inactive customers. Beyond the judgments underlying managements’ calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate set forth above, there are no additional assumptions or estimates made in connection with Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks.

Planet Labs Extends NGA Partnership With $22 Million Maritime Surveillance Contract (PL)June 4, 2026 10:29 AM
IH Market News Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:PL) traded modestly higher in premarket activity on Thursday after announcing a $22 million contract extension with the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to continue providing maritime surveillance and intelligence services. Shares of the satellite imaging company rose 1.4% following the update. NGA Exercises First Option Year Under Luno B Contract The NGA exercised the first option year under the Luno B Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Advanced Analytics for Maritime Operations and Reconnaissance. The one-year extension ensures continued access to Planet’s artificial intelligence-powered Maritime Domain Awareness capabilities across multiple U.S. Combatant Commands. The contract highlights the growing role of commercial satellite operators in supporting defense and intelligence missions. AI-Powered Monitoring of Maritime Activity Under the agreement, Planet will continue delivering automated detection and monitoring of significant maritime events. The company’s services include identifying ship-to-ship transfers, monitoring vessel movements and tracking so-called “dark” fleet activity involving ships that may attempt to conceal their location or operations. These capabilities will be provided through Planet Labs Federal, Inc. using imagery and data from the company’s PlanetScope satellite constellation. Additional Defense Contract Awarded Separately, Planet announced that it has secured another NGA contract in collaboration with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The new agreement covers the provision of Planet’s Global Monitoring Service, which supports national security objectives through frequent satellite observation and rapid delivery of intelligence products. The service is designed to provide near-daily monitoring, change detection and enhanced situational awareness for defense and intelligence users. SuperDove Constellation to Support Analytics For the Global Monitoring Service programme, Planet will leverage its SuperDove satellite constellation together with AI-enabled analytical tools. The system is designed to generate automated insights for NGA and DIU analysts, often delivering actionable information within hours of image collection. The company believes this combination of high-frequency imagery and artificial intelligence can significantly accelerate intelligence gathering and decision-making processes. Growing Role for Commercial Space Assets “Commercial imagery underscores a fundamental shift in the intelligence paradigm. At the core of this evolution is Planet’s PlanetScope constellation, providing persistent, broad area monitoring,” said Jon Powers, Planet VP, Global Defense & Intelligence. The latest awards further demonstrate how U.S. government agencies are increasingly incorporating commercial satellite capabilities into national security and defense operations. Planet views the contracts as evidence of the expanding importance of commercial space-based intelligence solutions in supporting modern surveillance, reconnaissance and strategic monitoring requirements.

Planet Secures 8-Figure NGA Contract Extension for Maritime Surveillance and New Award for Crisis Response MonitoringJune 4, 2026 9:04 AM
Business Wire Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced two significant contract milestones with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) that deepen the company’s role in supporting global security. Planet’s subsidiary, Planet Labs Federal, Inc., has been awarded an Option Year 1 extension for its Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and a new contract for Global Monitoring Service (GMS) to support ongoing crisis response efforts. The NGA has exercised the first option year under the Luno B Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Advanced Analytics for Maritime Operations and Reconnaissance (AAMOR). Following a successful inaugural program, this one-year, $22 million extension helps ensure the NGA’s continued access to AI-enabled Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) solutions across multiple Combatant Commands. Planet will continue to provide the automated detection of strategic and tactical maritime events, including ship-to-ship transfers and “dark” fleet activity. Exercising this option supports NGA’s foundational mission of providing high-quality, unclassified commercial data and analytics to partners and allies. “Commerical imagery underscores a fundamental shift in the intelligence paradigm. At the core of this evolution is Planet’s PlanetScope constellation, providing persistent, broad area monitoring. This unblinking eye delivers a daily global scan that, when paired with our seven-year archive, ensures no change goes unnoticed. And by layering MDA and GMS solutions onto this foundation, we are delivering automated, mission critical answers faster than ever before," said Jon Powers, Planet VP, Global Defense & Intelligence. “These solutions bridge the 'last mile' between raw data and actionable intelligence, democratizing access so that field operators can leverage complex geospatial insights without requiring advanced GIS expertise. In today’s volatile geopolitical landscape, this 'always on' visibility delivers essential information within hours of collection, accelerating the vital decision making continuum when every moment counts." In an additional expansion, Planet has been awarded a critical contract by NGA, in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), to provide its Global Monitoring Service (GMS) in support of national defense priorities. The award is designed to provide the U.S. government with dedicated, near-daily change detection and situational awareness. Under the agreement, Planet will provide high-frequency, low-latency satellite imagery, helping ensure decision-makers have access to persistent monitoring. Utilizing the SuperDove (PlanetScope) constellation and AI-enabled analytics, Planet will deliver automated insights directly to NGA and DIU analysts often as quickly as within just hours of collection. These contracts are an example of the U.S government’s focus on integrating agile, commercial space capabilities into the national security architecture. Together, these awards reinforce Planet’s "always-on" monitoring as a vital tool for ensuring the safety of U.S. and allied personnel, and the company’s support in maintaining a comprehensive understanding of the operational landscape.

Virgin Galactic surges as flight-testing restart and SpaceX IPO excitement fuel rally (SPCE)May 29, 2026 6:28 AM
IH Market News Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc (NYSE:SPCE) continued its remarkable advance on Thursday, 28 May, with shares climbing 19.53% during regular trading before adding a further 14% in after-hours activity. The move positions the stock for a sixth consecutive day of gains and extends its cumulative rise to more than 83% over the past five trading sessions. The rally has been driven by a combination of company-specific developments and growing enthusiasm across the wider space sector, which has attracted renewed investor attention ahead of the highly anticipated SpaceX public offering. Successful VSS Unity flight boosts confidence A key catalyst behind the recent share price surge was the successful glide flight of Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity spacecraft on 27 May at Spaceport America in New Mexico. The mission marked the company’s return to active flight-testing operations after a two-year pause and was viewed by investors as an important milestone in Virgin Galactic’s effort to resume commercial activities. Management outlined plans to continue flight testing during the third quarter of 2026, with commercial operations expected to restart in the fourth quarter. The company also reopened ticket sales for approximately 50 future missions, with seats priced at $750,000 each. Investors were further encouraged by signs of tighter financial discipline. Virgin Galactic reported a 26% year-on-year reduction in first-quarter operating expenses, reflecting efforts to improve cash management as it prepares for the next phase of operations. SpaceX IPO drives broader sector enthusiasm Beyond Virgin Galactic’s own progress, the stock has benefited from a powerful re-rating across the space industry following developments surrounding SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX). Investor interest in the sector accelerated after SpaceX filed documentation for its planned initial public offering on 21 May 2026. The listing is widely expected to become one of the largest public offerings ever undertaken, with estimates suggesting a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. The prospect of such a landmark transaction has sparked buying activity throughout the listed space ecosystem. Companies including Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) and Planet Labs (NYSE:PL) have all recorded strong gains as investors seek exposure to businesses connected to the expanding commercial space market. Virgin Galactic has emerged as one of the primary beneficiaries of this trend. As one of the few publicly traded companies offering direct exposure to the space tourism market, it has attracted significant interest from retail investors seeking to participate in the sector’s renewed momentum. The stock’s elevated short interest has also contributed to the move. With approximately 23% of shares sold short, continued positive sentiment could increase the potential for a short squeeze, adding further volatility to the share price in the weeks ahead. Valuation concerns remain despite momentum While market enthusiasm has driven Virgin Galactic sharply higher, some analysts remain cautious about the company’s valuation. Consensus recommendations remain broadly neutral, with an average target price of $3.55, implying downside potential of approximately 21.63% from recent trading levels. Critics argue that the company’s market value is increasingly disconnected from its underlying financial fundamentals. Virgin Galactic continues to generate limited revenue, trades at a price-to-sales ratio exceeding 200 and remains deeply loss-making at the operating level. As a result, many investors continue to view SPCE primarily as a sentiment-driven or narrative-led stock rather than a business supported by established cash generation. The sustainability of the rally may therefore depend not only on Virgin Galactic’s ability to deliver on its commercial flight plans, but also on whether investor enthusiasm surrounding the upcoming SpaceX IPO can be maintained once the initial excitement surrounding the listing begins to fade.

Planet Launches Three Additional High-Resolution Pelican SatellitesMay 3, 2026 6:37 AM
Business Wire
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced the successful launch of three additional Pelican satellites, one of which is the first satellite to orbit as part of the recently-announced satellite services agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces (SwAF). The spacecraft were launched to orbit aboard the CAS500-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Planet has begun the commissioning process for the three satellites after successfully making initial contact.


The launch of the SwAF Pelican marks a milestone in agile aerospace, with Planet delivering a sovereign orbital capability just over four months after the contract was signed. This mission transitions Sweden into an operational space power, providing the high-resolution, global monitoring necessary to detect threats in strategic regions like the Arctic. By reaching orbit years ahead of their original 2030 goal, the Swedish Armed Forces will be able to provide critical intelligence that strengthens both their national security and NATO’s collective situational awareness.


These advanced, AI-enabled Pelican satellites are the first to launch in 2026, building on the successful launches that brought five Pelicans to orbit in 2025. Each of these satellites is equipped with NVIDIA’s Jetson AI platform to facilitate on-orbit edge computing, which Planet has recently leveraged for successful AI-driven, near real-time object detection onboard Pelican-4.


As first generation (Gen 1) Pelicans, these spacecraft are built to capture 50 cm class resolution imagery across six multispectral bands, which are optimized for seamless cross-sensor analysis. Once commissioning is complete, they will operate alongside the existing Pelican Gen 1 fleet to support the delivery of the company's 50 cm class high-resolution tasking solutions.


Planet is continuing to scale its Pelican manufacturing capacity to meet the growing, global customer demand for high-resolution data and sovereign satellite ownership. Planet’s expanding Pelican fleet is designed to provide users with the rapid, crisp imagery needed to inform mission-critical decisions in near real-time, particularly through leading solutions like Planet’s Global Monitoring Service (GMS). Planet is also continuing to deliver on and develop a strong pipeline for its satellite services contracts, supplying nations with a proven means of expanding their space capabilities with advanced, sovereignly-owned Pelican satellites.


Planet plans to continue to meet the rapidly growing need for its high-resolution monitoring solutions by launching additional Gen 1 and the first Gen 2 Pelican satellites later in 2026, which are designed to provide up to 30 cm class resolution.

So when are we hitting $50. Or should I say $100 a share?

Planet Labs tests onboard AI object detection on Pelican-4 satelliteApril 7, 2026 9:49 AM
IH Market News
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:PL) said it has successfully carried out AI-powered object detection directly aboard its Pelican-4 satellite, marking a step forward in real-time space-based data analysis. The test, conducted on March 25, involved capturing imagery of an airport located about 500 kilometers above Alice Springs, Australia, and identifying aircraft shortly after the image was taken.According to the company, the satellite used an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin computing module to perform the detection process within moments of capturing the image.The milestone represents one of the early demonstrations of an Earth observation satellite performing onboard AI inference and analysis beyond simply collecting data, the company said.“By running AI at the edge on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, we can help reduce the time between ’seeing’ a change on Earth and a customer ’acting’ on it, while simultaneously minimizing downlink latency and cost,” said Kiruthika Devaraj, VP of Avionics & Spacecraft Technology.Planet Labs CEO and co-founder Will Marshall said the technology has the potential to significantly shorten the time needed to turn satellite imagery into actionable insights. “This can be the critical difference-maker for our customers from disaster response to security and beyond,” Marshall said.Planet Labs added that the technology could support the evolution of its Pelican satellites and the upcoming Owl constellation into a near real-time intelligence network. In the test, the full process—from data capture and object detection to geo-rectification—was carried out directly in orbit. The company said the system produced GeoTIFF and GeoJSON data outputs through Docker-based processing containers running in space.The development follows a previously announced strategic collaboration between Planet Labs and NVIDIA. The company noted that the onboard AI models are still in early development and will continue to be improved over time.Planet Labs stock price

Planet Ships Three Additional Pelicans to Launch SiteApril 6, 2026 9:03 AM
Business Wire
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced the shipment of three Pelican satellites to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California ahead of their launch aboard the upcoming CAS500/2 rideshare mission with SpaceX. By launching these satellites to orbit, Planet will further expand the Pelican fleet’s industry-leading capabilities and rapid revisit rate, providing high-resolution, AI-enabled solutions to its customers around the world.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260406451373/en/One of Planet's latest Pelican satellites, photographed at its headquarters in San Francisco, ahead of their departure to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
“Kicking off our first Pelican launch of 2026 demonstrates the pace at which we’re scaling our most advanced constellation to date, with higher resolution, faster repeat rates, and lower latency,” said Will Marshall, Co-Founder and CEO of Planet. “By integrating the NVIDIA Jetson platform directly onboard, we are effectively adding a high-functioning AI ‘brain’ to our satellite ‘eyes’ – working to enable answers in minutes rather than hours. This is a move beyond mere imagery towards what we call Planetary Intelligence. By running AI at the edge, we’re striving to provide customers with near real-time answers about the planet, and move insights from the digital to the physical world.”


“The shipment and integration of these spacecraft reflects the incredible momentum of our production line,” said Brian Lewis, Mission Director for Pelican at Planet. “Our rapid manufacturing and design approach allows us to iterate and deploy at scale, providing the high-resolution intelligence customers need to make critical and time-sensitive decisions. This milestone reinforces our commitment to meeting the urgent operational demands of our partners at the pace of global change.”


These first generation (Gen 1) Pelicans are designed to capture 50 cm class resolution imagery across six multispectral bands, which are optimized for seamless cross-sensor analysis. After completing commissioning, they will join the existing Gen 1 Pelicans in supporting the ongoing delivery of Planet’s 50 cm class products. Each spacecraft on this launch features NVIDIA’s Jetson AI platform onboard to provide edge computing functions. By processing data on-orbit, Planet is working to reduce latency to deliver near-real-time situational awareness and rapid answers directly to customers. To meet the growing demand for high-resolution monitoring solutions, Planet plans to launch additional first- and second-generation Pelican satellites over the next year and beyond.


Looking ahead, Planet plans to begin launching its second generation (Gen 2) Pelican satellites later in 2026, which will be designed to achieve up to 30 cm-class resolution. With these advancements, Planet continues to push the boundaries of intra-day revisit rates and low latency tasking.

Generated $134 Million of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and $53 Million Free Cash Flow in FY26


End of Period Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments Increased 188% YoY to $640 Million


Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) (“Planet” or the “Company”), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced financial results for the period ended January 31, 2026.


“Planet had a transformational year driven by strong momentum in satellite services, including most recently with Sweden, as well as launching 40 satellites, and inking an R&D partnership with Google to explore data centers in space,” said Will Marshall, Planet’s Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson. “We delivered record revenue, with Q4 growing 41% year-on-year, and ended the year with $900 million of backlog, representing 79% growth year-on-year. With this excellent backlog as well as our healthy pipeline, we project strong growth for this year and beyond. Consequently we’re leaning in and investing in the huge market opportunity in front of us. Just as satellite services were transformative last year, we expect AI to be transformative this year, enabling us to unlock massive markets even faster. In all, we’re playing to win.”


Ashley Johnson, Planet’s President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We delivered record revenue, our first fiscal year of Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow profitability, and closed the year with $640 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.” Ms. Johnson continued, “Achieving these major milestones is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of our global teams. Their unwavering commitment to delivering innovative solutions and exceptional value for our customers has strengthened our financial foundation and positioned us for sustainable, profitable growth.”

Recent Business Highlights:


Growing Customer and Partner Relationships



Swedish Armed Forces: During the quarter, Planet was awarded a multi-year, low nine-figure agreement by Sweden to rapidly deliver a suite of satellites, space-based data and awareness solutions to support the country’s peace and security operations. This agreement marked Planet’s third satellite services contract in twelve months.



U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU): During the quarter, DIU awarded Planet a seven-figure extension of its pilot in support of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), which is designed to deliver vital indications and warnings. The short-term contract demonstrates how customers can leverage Planet data and AI-powered analytics to monitor sites of strategic interest for critical changes and threats.



U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU): DIU also exercised an option during the quarter under its existing Hybrid Space Architecture (HSA) pilot with Planet for just under $1 million. The short-term contract is to demonstrate the cutting-edge capabilities of Planet's next generation high-resolution Pelican satellites.



NATO: During the quarter, Allied Command Transformation, NATO’s Strategic Warfare Development Command, maintained its selection of Planet to deliver persistent space-based surveillance and enhanced indications and warnings capabilities. This seven-figure agreement reinforces NATO's commitment to maintaining a technological edge through advanced daily monitoring. The contract extension underscores Planet’s position as a trusted and essential partner for customers seeking to bolster their strategic capabilities.



German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG): During the quarter, Planet was awarded a seven-figure renewal and expansion by BKG. Under the renewal, BKG will continue its country-wide partnership through which employees of more than 400 German federal institutions can gain access to Planet’s data to help promote public and civil safety throughout the entire Federal Republic of Germany. BKG has expanded its access to track permafrost thawing across the Arctic.



Slovenia: In January, Planet announced an enterprise-scale agreement with the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (GURS) to provide comprehensive satellite data and high-resolution tasking capabilities across the country’s civil public administration in support of agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management.



SHIELD IDIQ: In February, the U.S. Department of War’s Missile Defense Agency selected Planet as a Prime contractor for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle. Planet will now compete for awards under the program.



San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E): During the quarter, Planet was awarded a 3-year renewal by SDG&E. Through its long-term relationship with Planet, SDG&E has pioneered the integration of Planet’s high-cadence satellite data directly into its wildfire risk models and operational decision-making, paying dividends as the organization navigates increasingly dynamic climate and vegetation conditions across Southern California.



AiDASH: During the quarter, Planet signed a strategic partnership with AiDASH, becoming the preferred provider of daily and weekly fuel monitoring data for utility wildfire risk mitigation across North America. The partnership is already generating commercial traction: leading investor-owned utilities are actively using Planet's data to identify where and when to deploy fuel treatment resources — reducing ignition risk and targeting high-priority clearance with precision that was not previously possible.



Financial Outlook


For the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, ending April 30, 2026, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $87 million to $91 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 49% to 51%. Adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be in the range of approximately ($6) million to ($3) million for the quarter. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $17 million and $23 million for the quarter.


For the full fiscal year 2027, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $415 million to $440 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 50% to 52%. Adjusted EBITDA profit is expected to be in the range of approximately $0 and $10 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $80 million and $95 million for the year.


Planet has not reconciled its non-GAAP financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation expenses, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and depreciation and amortization are uncertain or out of Planet’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses during the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 and full fiscal year 2027 will have a significant impact on Planet’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Planet’s non-GAAP outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts.


The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect Planet’s expectations as of today’s date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially.

It is possible that the information Planet posts on its website could be deemed to be material information. As such, Planet encourages investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above and to review the information disclosed through such channels.


Planet’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


This press release includes non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described further below, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, backlog and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures the Company uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments.


Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies, which may have different definitions from the Company’s. Further, certain of the non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude stock-based compensation expenses, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the Company and an important part of its compensation strategy.


Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin: The Company defines and calculates Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting. The Company defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.


Non-GAAP Expenses: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses as, in each case, the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure (cost of revenue, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses) adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, that are classified within each of the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.


Non-GAAP Loss from Operations: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting.


Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expense, employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and the income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.


Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines and calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income and expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, other income (expense), net, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer taxes related to earnout share vesting.


The Company presents non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described above, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in Planet’s industry and facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, the Company believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance.


Backlog: The Company defines and calculates backlog as remaining performance obligations plus the cancelable portion of the contract value for contracts that provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty and written orders where funding has not been appropriated. Backlog does not include unexercised contract options. Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted revenue that will be invoiced and recognized in revenue in future periods. Remaining performance obligations do not include contracts which provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty, written orders where funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options.


An increasing and meaningful portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with the U.S. government and other government customers. Cancellation provisions, such as termination for convenience clauses, are common in contracts with the U.S. government and certain other government customers. The Company presents backlog because the portion of its customer contracts with such cancellation provisions represents a meaningful amount of the Company’s expected future revenues. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast the Company’s future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps the Company identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. The Company also believes backlog is useful for investors in forecasting the Company’s future results and understanding the growth of its business. Customer cancellation provisions relating to termination for convenience clauses and funding appropriation requirements are outside of the Company’s control, and as a result, the Company may fail to realize the full value of such contracts.


Free Cash Flow: The Company defines and calculates free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs.


The Company presents free cash flow because it believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in the Company’s business and liquidity. Management uses free cash flow, in addition to GAAP measures, to help manage our business, prepare budgets, and for annual planning.


Rule of 40: The Company defines and calculates Rule of 40 as the sum of year-over-year revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue. The Company may refer to a “Rule of” number other than 40 to refer to the sum of revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue for the period given.


Other Key Metrics


ACV and EoP ACV Book of Business: In connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize, the Company calculates annual contract value (“ACV”) for contracts of one year or greater as the total amount of value that a customer has contracted to pay for the most recent 12 month period for the contract. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. For short-term contracts (contracts less than 12 months), ACV is equal to total contract value.


The Company also calculates EoP ACV book of business in connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts, excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. Active contracts exclude any contract that has been canceled, expired prior to the last day of the period without renewing, or for any other reason is not expected to generate revenue in the subsequent period. For contracts ending on the last day of the period, the ACV is either updated to reflect the ACV of the renewed contract or, if the contract has not yet renewed or extended, the ACV is excluded from the EoP ACV book of business. The Company does not annualize short-term contracts in calculating its EoP ACV book of business. The Company calculates the ACV of usage-based contracts based on the committed contracted revenue or the revenue achieved on the usage-based contract in the prior 12-month period.


Percent of Recurring ACV: Percent of recurring ACV is the portion of the total EoP ACV book of business that is recurring in nature. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. The Company defines percent of recurring ACV as the dollar value of all data subscription contracts and the committed portion of usage-based contracts (excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users) divided by the total dollar value of all contracts in our EoP ACV book of business. The Company believes percent of recurring ACV is useful to investors to better understand how much of the Company’s revenue is from customers that have the potential to renew their contracts over multiple years rather than being one-time in nature. The Company tracks percent of recurring ACV to inform estimates for the future revenue growth potential of our business and improve the predictability of our financial results. There are no significant estimates underlying management’s calculation of percent of recurring ACV, but management applies judgment as to which customers have an active contract at a period end for the purpose of determining EoP ACV book of business, which is used as part of the calculation of percent of recurring ACV.


EoP Customer Count: The Company defines EoP customer count as the total count of all existing customers at the end of the period excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users. For EoP customer count, the Company defines existing customers as customers with an active contract with the Company at the end of the reported period. For the purpose of this metric, the Company defines a customer as a distinct entity that uses the Company’s data or services. The Company sells directly to customers, as well as indirectly through its partner network. If a partner does not provide the end customer’s name, then the partner is reported as the customer. Each customer, regardless of the number of active opportunities with the Company, is counted only once. For example, if a customer utilizes multiple products of Planet, the Company only counts that customer once for purposes of EoP customer count. A customer with multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries are also counted as a single unique customer based on the parent organization or parent account. For EoP customer count, the Company does not include users that only utilize the Company’s self-service Planet Insights Platform web based ordering system, which the Company acquired in August 2023, and which offers standard starter packages on a monthly or annual basis. Management applies judgment as to which customers are deemed to have an active contract in a period, as well as whether a customer is a distinct entity that uses the Company’s data or services.


Our business has recently evolved to focus the efforts of our direct sales team on large customer opportunities and to increasingly leverage our self-service Planet Insights Platform to provide access to our data for customers (of whom are not included in EoP Customer Count because they exclusively utilize our self-serve model). As a result, EoP Customer Count has become less meaningful as a business metric. Therefore, beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, we will no longer report EoP Customer Count as a key business metric.


Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue: The Company defines capital expenditures as purchases of property and equipment plus capitalized internally developed software development costs, which are included in our statements of cash flows from investing activities. The Company defines capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue as the total amount of capital expenditures divided by total revenue in the reported period. Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a performance measure that we use to evaluate the appropriate level of capital expenditures needed to support demand for the Company’s data services and related revenue, and to provide a comparable view of the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies, which may invest significantly greater amounts in their satellites to deliver their data to customers. The Company uses an agile space systems strategy, which means we invest in a larger number of significantly lower cost satellites and software infrastructure to automate the management of the satellites and to deliver the Company’s data to clients. As a result of the Company’s strategy and business model, the Company’s capital expenditures may be more similar to software companies with large data center infrastructure costs. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to look at the level of capital expenditure investments relative to revenue when evaluating the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies or to other software and data companies with significant data center infrastructure investment requirements. The Company believes capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a useful metric for investors because it provides visibility to the level of capital expenditures required to operate the Company and the Company’s relative capital efficiency.


Net Dollar Retention Rate: The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company defines existing customers as customers with an active contract with the Company. The Company believes Net Dollar Retention Rate is a useful metric for investors as it can be used to measure its ability to retain and grow revenue generated from its existing customers, on which its ability to drive long-term growth and profitability is, in part, dependent. The Company uses Net Dollar Retention Rate to assess customer adoption of new products, inform opportunities to make improvements across its products, identify opportunities to improve operations, and manage go to market functions, as well as to understand how much future growth may come from cross-selling and up-selling customers. Management applies judgment in determining the value of active contracts in a given period, as set forth in the definition of ACV.


Net Dollar Retention Rate including Winbacks: The Company assesses two metrics for net dollar retention–Net Dollar Retention Rate, as described above, and Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks. A winback is a previously existing customer that was inactive at the start of the measurement period but has reactivated during the measurement period. The reactivation period must be within 24 months from the last active contract with the customer; otherwise, the customer is counted as a new customer and therefore excluded from the retention rate metrics. The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers and winbacks in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company believes this metric is useful to investors as it captures the value of customer contracts that resume business with the Company after being inactive and thereby provides a quantification of the Company’s ability to recapture lost business. Management uses this metric to understand the adoption of our products and long-term customer retention, as well as the success of marketing campaigns and sales initiatives in re-engaging inactive customers. Beyond the judgments underlying managements’ calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate set forth above, there are no additional assumptions or estimates made in connection with Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks.
