Is Planet Labs The Cheapest Stock In The Space Economy?

Published August 13, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Planet Labs (NYSE: PL), a developer of satellite constellations, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on Dec. 8, 2021. Its stock closed at $11.35 on the first day and eventually reached a record high of $51.40 on May 28, 2026.

Today, its stock trades at about $25. Like many of its industry peers, Planet Lab had rallied ahead of SpaceX's (NASDAQ: SPCX) market debut in June, but pulled back after that massive IPO drew investors away from the smaller space stocks. A massive $1.5 billion at-the-market stock offering that same month exacerbated its decline.
