Berenberg on Planet Labs (PL): 'Management roadshow reinforces Buy thesis'

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 04:47:59 -0400

Berenberg analyst Michael Filatov reiterated a Buy rating and $25.00 price target on Planet Labs (NYSE: PL).

The analyst comments "Last week, we hosted two days of investor meetings with Planet Labs’ president and CFO, Ashley Johnson, and senior vice president of finance and business intelligence, Tina Hristova. We came away more confident on three fronts, namely the economics and renewability of satellite services, the durability of sovereign and defence demand, and AI-driven expansion into commercial markets. In our view, the recent de-rating reflects macro factors, primarily higher rates, rather than any change in fundamentals."
