No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 03 Feb 2026.
Planet Labs PBC, founded in 2010, is a Defense & Aerospace company based in San Francisco, United States. Its latest reported headcount is 600 employees (2023). Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 89 filings came from 17 insiders.
Both sides are active: 1 purchase worth €271 and 20 sales worth €32.4M, from 1 insider and 7 insiders respectively. Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €32.4M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. At €6.1M, the sale published on 8 April 2026 by Marshall William Spencer is the largest of the period. Those buying include 1 senior executive.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 3 February 2026, 257 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Across the 5,458 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 22 filings; at 89 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2021, the database holds 5 purchases and 35 sales by insiders of the company. The 10-K for the year ended 31 January 2026 shows 307.7 m USD of revenue and -246.9 m USD of net income.

Planet Labs PBC is a U.S.-based geospatial data and Earth-observation company listed on the NYSE under the ticker PL, in the United States. For international investors, Planet sits at the intersection of aerospace, software, and data analytics, with a business model centered on recurring satellite-imagery subscriptions and decision-support solutions. The company was founded in 2010 by three NASA scientists. Its original mission was straightforward but ambitious: design, build, launch, and operate satellite constellations capable of delivering daily information about changes on Earth. Planet later went public on December 8, 2021, becoming a public benefit corporation and listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
Planet’s core business is built around three main pillars: satellite imagery, related services, and data software/analytics. Its flagship offering is near-daily global coverage, supported by an Earth-imaging fleet of roughly 200 satellites and a long-duration data archive. That dataset feeds a wide range of use cases across agriculture, forestry, mapping, public-sector applications, and security-related workflows. The company also emphasizes tailored satellite services and AI-enabled products that turn imagery into actionable intelligence rather than raw pixels.
From a competitive standpoint, Planet differentiates itself less as a simple image vendor and more as a provider of high-frequency, globally consistent data and analytics. Its value proposition is built on cadence, scale, and the ability to deliver insights, not just imagery. That matters in a market where competitors range from commercial satellite-imaging firms to defense and intelligence contractors that can also provide earth observation data, often with different monetization models and customer relationships.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, and operates across North America, Europe, and Asia. Planet also notes foreign subsidiaries in multiple countries, underscoring its international footprint. In recent disclosures and company announcements, Planet has highlighted meaningful commercial momentum, including a multi-year nine-figure agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces, several major satellite-services contracts over the past year, and new AI-powered capabilities such as Planet SuperRes, which is designed to improve the usable resolution of its imagery products. These developments reinforce Planet’s increasing focus on government and security customers while expanding the commercial depth of its platform.
