# Weekly Recap | Planet Labs -10.36%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Planet Labs fell 10.36% this week to close at $19.98, while the S&P 500 gained 0.49%, leaving the stock about 10.85 percentage points behind the benchmark. Price action was choppy through Thursday, holding between $21.0 and $22.3, before selling accelerated on Friday with an intraday swing of roughly 6.7% and a close near the week’s low. The final session carried most of the week’s downward pressure.

## Key Events

This week’s newsflow centred on the unbundling of the AI infrastructure value chain, with several industry research pieces grouping Planet Labs among hard-to-classify names as physical constraints feed into structural volatility. These were sector-level analyses rather than company announcements. A separate note on AST SpaceMobile’s Wednesday decline also highlighted shifts in sentiment across satellite communications and space data peers, adding to the sector’s broader pullback.

## Analyst Ratings

Thirteen brokers cover Planet Labs: 6 rate it buy, 1 overweight, 3 hold, 1 sell and 2 have no opinion, with a consensus rating of buy. The consensus target price sits at $40.10, about 100.7% above the latest close, but individual targets range widely from $25 to $53. Within the research and consulting services industry, Planet Labs ranks 11th out of 40 comparable companies.

## The Week Ahead

Planet Labs reports fiscal Q2 2027 results after Thursday’s close, with the market expecting a loss of $0.074 per share on revenue around $104 million. Macro data through the week includes the Dallas Fed manufacturing index, ISM manufacturing PMI, JOLTS job openings, ADP employment and factory orders, giving growth names a busy calendar to trade against.

## In Short

This week paired a falling stock price with a still-neutral-to-positive broker view: most covering analysts rate Planet Labs buy or overweight and the consensus target implies meaningful upside, yet Friday’s volume surge pointed to near-term selling pressure. Next week’s earnings are the key test, with any miss on loss or revenue guidance likely to challenge support near $19.98.
