SAN FRANCISCO - Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:PL), the Earth observation company with a market capitalization of $1.85 billion and impressive gross profit margins of 58%, has secured four major contracts for its AI-enabled solutions with defense and intelligence customers, the Earth observation company announced Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has surged 244% over the past year.
The contracts include a €240 million agreement funded by Germany that includes a multi-year renewal with an eight-figure annual value for PlanetScope data and AI solutions. Planet also expanded its existing Hybrid Space Architecture contract with the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit to support the Indo-Pacific Command with AI-enabled monitoring capabilities.

Additionally, the company signed a seven-figure expansion with the U.S. Navy for Maritime Domain Awareness over the Pacific Ocean region, and secured a seven-figure contract with NATO announced on June 12 to deliver space-based surveillance and maritime awareness functions.
These agreements follow Planet’s previous announcement of an eight-figure annual contract with another European defense customer for PlanetScope and Maritime Domain Awareness products.
The National Reconnaissance Office also extended Planet’s contract option as part of the Electro-Optical Commercial Layer program, maintaining its current performance level from June through October 2025.
Planet’s monitoring capabilities include daily scans of approximately 150 million square kilometers of land and 20 million square kilometers of ocean territory, supported by an archive of over 3,000 images for every point on land.
"The changing geopolitical landscape and modernization of security capabilities are driving unprecedented interest in our solutions," said Will Marshall, Planet’s CEO and Co-Founder, in the press release.
