## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Planet Labs PBC reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 17.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 17.4×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 14.6×**. The shares trade at 14.6× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.4%** (5-yr avg -6.8%). Free cash flow equals 0.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of -6.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
