On June 1, Planet Labs fell 6.71% in regular trading, trading at 46.41 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $147 million.
On the news front, Blue Origin's unmanned New Glenn rocket recently exploded during a hot-fire test at a Space Force facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida, delivering a sustained blow to space sector sentiment and triggering broad-based selling in related stocks. Peer company BlackSky Technology plunged 13.22% on the same day, highlighting significant sector-wide linkage effects.
Planet Labs had previously rallied from approximately $44 to above $50, driven by expectations surrounding a Google space data center collaboration under Project Suncatcher and the successful SpaceX Starship test flight. The current pullback has now erased a substantial portion of those gains. Market participants note that the incident has prompted investors to reassess short-term operational risks and technical challenges facing the space industry, triggering profit-taking across the sector after its recent sustained run-up.
