Brennan Ita M Sell
36,500 shares
$1,237,580
@ $33.91
Significance 6/10

Director Brennan Ita M sold 36,500 shares of PL at $33.91 (1.2M), retaining 264,158 shares; cross-ticker track record shows 100.00% well-timed selling pattern.

Director Brennan Ita M liquidated 36,500 shares (12.1% of pre-transaction holdings) at $33.91 on 2026-04-15. Across his open-market history across all tickers, his 10 prior sales have been well-timed at a 100.00% rate, with an average 90-day post-sale return of -70.6%, indicating a consistent pattern of selling before subsequent declines. Planet Labs remains unprofitable on a full-year basis (net income $-59,185,000.00) despite strong revenue growth of +25.9%, creating a fundamentally volatile picture. The stock has recovered +55.1% over 30 days and +33.7% over 90 days from prior lows, but trades at $38.48—now 3.5% below its 52-week high of $39.89—suggesting the recent rally may have provided an exit window aligned with this insider's historical sell pattern.

Schingler Robert H Sell
Co-Founder Chief Strategy Off.
73,683 shares
$2,584,358
@ $35.07
Significance 5/10

Co-Founder Robert Schingler sold 73,683 shares of PL at $35.07 on 2026-04-06 for $2,584,357.54; stock now at $36.55 (+0.0% from 52-week high).

Schingler reduced his position by 73,683 shares (-22.3% vs pre-transaction holdings), realizing $2,584,357.54 at $35.07 while the stock currently trades at $36.55, near its 52-week high. His prior two sales at PL both resulted in positive 90-day returns (+39.2% and +46.6%), indicating his past sales have coincided with continued upside rather than subsequent declines. The company generated $81.3M in quarterly revenue with +25.9% annual growth, but remains deeply unprofitable with a $-59.2M net loss over its latest full fiscal year. The timing of this sale against a strongly rallying stock (30-day +41.6%, 90-day +62.9%) and the insider's historical pattern of poorly-timed exits warrant monitoring of whether this represents a shift in conviction or allocation strategy.

Marshall William Spencer Sell
Co-Founder and CEO
200,000 shares
$7,014,520
@ $35.07
Significance 5/10

Planet Labs CEO Marshall Spencer sells 200.0K shares at $35.07 while stock surges +41.6% in 30d, +62.9% in 90d

Marshall William Spencer, Co-Founder and CEO, sold 200,000 shares at $35.07 on 2026-04-06, reducing his holdings from 3,392,726 to 3,192,726 shares (a -5.9% reduction). The sale occurred as Planet Labs' stock rallied sharply—up +41.6% over the prior 30 days and +62.9% over 90 days, now trading at $36.55 near its 52-week high. Examining Spencer's prior trades at Planet Labs, his same-ticker history shows 2 prior sales with 90-day returns of +39.2% and -19.7%, respectively, and 1 prior buy with a -18.8% return—none of these were well-timed by the 90-day mark. His cross-ticker track record (2 prior sells) averaged +9.7% 30-day return with a 0.00% well-timed rate. The company remains unprofitable (net income of -$59.2M against quarterly revenue of $81.3M) despite posting +25.9% annual revenue growth. The sale takes place against a backdrop of elevated stock momentum and the company's continued path to profitability, leaving the timing's investment merit contingent on subsequent price action.

Johnson Ashley F. Sell
President & CFO
200,000 shares
$7,020,219
@ $35.10
Significance 6/10

CFO Johnson Ashley F. sold 200,000 shares (200.0K shares) for $7,020,218.58 ($7.0M) at Planet Labs across 2 transactions on 2026-04-02.

Johnson Ashley F., President & CFO of Planet Labs PBC, executed two separate sales totaling 200,000 shares for $7,020,218.58, reducing his holdings from 725.7K to 525.7K shares (-27.6%). The sales occurred at $34.76 and $35.22 per share, near the stock's current price of $35.02 and well above the 52-week low of $2.96, reflecting a recent 30-day rally of +38.5% and 90-day surge of +60.4%. The timing of this substantial divestiture—reducing stakes by more than one-quarter—follows the insider's prior two sales at this ticker on 2026-01-21, both of which showed negative 30-day returns (-11.6% and -11.5%). Planet Labs remains unprofitable (net income: $-59,185,000.00 for the latest quarter) despite 25.9% annual revenue growth, creating a disconnect between near-term stock momentum and underlying business fundamentals that warrants investor attention to the reasons behind this significant stake reduction.

SMITH GARY B Buy
20 shares
$313
@ $15.66
Significance 3/10

Director Gary B Smith sold 20 shares at $12.68 following Oct buy at $15.66; stock now $23.95, +80.8% in 90 days

Director Gary B Smith executed 2 separate transactions in this filing: purchased 20 shares at $15.66 on 2025-10-09 ($313.20), then sold those same 20 shares at $12.68 on 2025-11-11 ($253.70). The purchase preceded the sale by 33 days, and the sale price was 19% below the purchase price, resulting in a $59.50 realized loss. Context is important: the stock has subsequently rallied to $23.95 (current price), up 80.8% over the past 90 days and now trading 16.8% below its 52-week high of $28.78. Smith retains 32,468 shares post-transaction. His cross-ticker track record shows a 7.14% well-timed sell rate across 20 prior sales, but this specific intra-month transaction—where he sold lower than he bought—appears disconnected from broader conviction signals. With the company unprofitable (annual net income of $-59,185,000.00) but posting 10.7% annual revenue growth, the timing of this loss-realizing sale warrants scrutiny against scheduled trading plans or other non-discretionary factors not disclosed in the filing itself.

Robinson Kristen Sell
47,835 shares
$1,289,632
@ $26.96
Significance 6/10

Director Kristen Robinson sold 47,835 shares of PL at $26.96; holds 222,897 post-transaction.

Robinson Kristen, a director, sold 47,835 shares at $26.96 for a total of $1,289,631.60, reducing her holdings by 17.7% from 270,732 shares to 222,897 shares. The sale occurred near recent peak valuations: the stock is currently 6.4% below its 52-week high of $28.78, but has risen 32.6% over 30 days and 97.9% over 90 days. Planet Labs PBC remains deeply unprofitable, with a net income of $-59,185,000.00 in the latest full fiscal year, although revenue growth stands at 10.7% year-over-year on a $81.3M quarterly revenue base. The director's reduction of her stake at elevated valuations—following substantial recent appreciation—occurs during a period when the company continues to generate losses despite growing revenue.

Johnson Ashley F. Sell
President & CFO
150,731 shares
$4,071,803
@ $27.01
Significance 6/10

President & CFO Johnson Ashley F. sold 150,731 shares at blended $27.01 for $4.1M; retains 1.96M shares post-sale

Johnson Ashley F., President & CFO of Planet Labs PBC, executed 2 separate sales totaling 150,731 shares for $4,071,803.22 on 2026-01-21 at a blended average price of $27.01. The sale reduces her holdings from 2,106,832 shares to 1,956,101 shares (a -7.2% reduction). This transaction occurs in a context where Planet Labs reported a net income of $-59,185,000.00 against quarterly revenue of $81,254,000.00, and the company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis despite annual revenue growth of +10.7%. The stock price on the transaction date ($27.01) sits 9.4% below the 52-week high of $28.78, having appreciated 25.7% over the prior 30 days and 91.5% over the prior 90 days. The scale and structure of this sale—two discrete transactions totaling over 150K shares at near-identical prices in a single day—warrants investor attention given the recent sharp price appreciation and the company's ongoing unprofitability.

Schingler Robert H Sell
Co-Founder Chief Strategy Off.
73,782 shares
$1,428,036
@ $19.35
Significance 5/10

Co-Founder Robert H Schingler sold 73,782 shares of PL at $19.35 for $1.4M; holds 330,171 shares post-transaction.

Robert H Schingler, a co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, sold 73,782 shares at $19.35 on 2025-12-26, reducing his stake by 18.3% from 403,953 to 330,171 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $20.73, with the stock currently trading at $19.74. Planet Labs generated $81.3M in quarterly revenue with 10.7% annual growth but remains unprofitable with a $-59.2M net loss. Schingler's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 30-day return of -19.7%; his one prior sale at Planet Labs (October 2025) also showed a -19.7% 30-day return, though the pattern is too limited to constitute a statistically meaningful signal. The sale represents a material reduction in insider ownership by a founding executive at a company still operating at significant losses despite revenue growth.

Marshall William Spencer Sell
Co-Founder and CEO
200,000 shares
$3,871,840
@ $19.36
Significance 6/10

PL CEO Marshall Spencer sold 200,000 shares for $3.9M on 2025-12-26; price up +65.9% in 30 days, yet his prior PL sell on 2025-10-13 saw -19.7% return thereafter.

Marshall William Spencer, Co-Founder and CEO, sold 200,000 shares (200.0K shares) of Planet Labs PBC at $19.36, reducing his holdings from 3,034,490 shares to 2,834,490 shares post-transaction. While the stock has rallied sharply (+65.9% over the past 30 days and +43.4% over 90 days), his cross-ticker track record shows consistently poor timing on sales: his one prior sell across all holdings returned -19.7% over 30 days. More directly relevant, his prior open-market sale at PL on 2025-10-13 also returned -19.7% over 30 days, suggesting a pattern where his sell decisions have preceded further stock appreciation rather than declines. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-59.2M on revenue $81.3M) despite recent price momentum, making context around his timing and conviction difficult to establish from price action alone. Investors should monitor whether this sale reflects a shift in his assessment or follows a pre-existing trading plan.

81,656 shares
$1,265,333
@ $15.50
Significance 6/10

Co-Founder Robert Schingler sold 81,656 shares of PL at $15.50; stock near 52-week peak after 53% rally in 30 days

Robert Schingler (Co-Founder, Chief Strategy Officer) sold 81,656 shares at $15.50 on 2025-10-13, reducing his holdings from 1,370,499 shares to 1,288,843 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($15.68), with the stock up 53.0% over the prior 30 days and 127.6% over 90 days. This high-momentum context contrasts with Planet Labs' underlying fundamentals: the company posted negative net income of $-22,592,000 on quarterly revenue of $73,386,000, though it achieved 10.7% annual revenue growth. The timing of this sale by a co-founder—after a significant recent rally—warrants investor scrutiny of whether management sees execution risks ahead, particularly given the unprofitability and the stock's sharp ascent from its $2.10 52-week low.
