Why Planet Labs Stock Is Gaining Today
Oct 7, 2025 11:55 AM

Planet Labs traded higher Tuesday as the Earth-imaging company teased “game-changer” news on X and disclosed a renewed U.S. Navy contract that keeps its satellite data at the center of Pacific maritime monitoring.

PL stock is building positive momentum. See the data here.

On X, Planet hinted at a forthcoming announcement — “Tomorrow’s news will be a game-changer. Don’t blink — you might miss it!”

In a separate release, the company said its subsidiary, Planet Labs Federal, secured a $7.5 million renewal to provide vessel detection and monitoring across key Indo-Pacific waters, reinforcing a years-long partnership with U.S. defense stakeholders.

Planet will feed daily, global PlanetScope imagery and higher-resolution SkySat tasking into SeaVision, a web-based maritime awareness tool used by U.S. agencies and co-developed with the U.S. Navy.

The pipeline enables broad-area surveillance with the ability to zoom in on emerging risks and share insights across partner networks.

Longtime partner SynMax layers its Theia analytics to flag potential “dark vessels” that conceal or spoof AIS signals, a capability designed to uncover smuggling, illicit trans-shipments and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Pairing frequent revisit imagery with AI aims to turn social and commercial activity at sea into timely, actionable intelligence.

Why The Pacific

“The Indo-Pacific is one of the busiest and most strategically important regions in the world; a hub of global trade with vast waters and dense vessel activity,” said Jon Powers, Planet Federal’s vice president of global defense and intelligence.

According to Benzinga Pro, Planet Labs stock has gained over 588% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via SPDR S&P Kensho Final Frontiers ETF ( ROKT ) .

PL Price Action: Planet Labs shares are trading higher by 2.10% to $15.56 at publication on Tuesday.
