Description: PL Planet Labs PBC January 14, 2026
Planet Labs PBC designs, builds, and launches large constellations of small-satellite imagers to deliver high-cadence geospatial data via an online platform that supports planet monitoring, tasking, archival, APIs, basemaps, and analytics. Its product suite includes Tanager, a hyperspectral satellite covering visible to short-wave infrared wavelengths, and an Earth Observation platform that lets customers discover, extract, and act on proprietary data layers through custom solutions or GIS-compatible workflows.
The company serves a diversified client base spanning agriculture, mapping, energy, forestry, finance, insurance, and government agencies. As of the most recent public filings, Planet operates roughly 350 operational satellites, generates annual revenue in the low-hundreds of millions of dollars (≈ $210 M in FY 2023), and has reported year-over-year ARR growth of about 30 %, reflecting the broader market trend of rising demand for near-real-time Earth observation data for ESG reporting, precision farming, and climate risk assessment.
