HAPPY FRIDAY TO THE STREET.

Turns out all it takes to calm Wall Street is a better-than-expected jobs report and a Tesla rebound. After Elon’s 14% nosedive on Thursday, the stock $TSLA ( ▲ 0.21% ) jumped today, helping lift the broader market. Meanwhile, May payrolls beat forecasts, easing fears that the economy is sliding too fast for the Fed to ignore. And just to keep things spicy, Trump says trade talks with China are back on — this time in London.

  • 🟩 | US stocks rallied to end the week, with the S&P 500 topping 6,000 as strong jobs data and a tech bounce soothed slowdown fears.

  • 📈 | One Notable Gainer: Palantir $PLTR ( ▼ 0.74% ) rose after the strong jobs report lifted growth stocks and boosted investor sentiment.

  • 📉 | One Notable Decliner: Lululemon $LULU ( ▲ 0.35% ) shares sank after cutting full-year guidance despite a Q1 beat, citing tariffs and a “dynamic macroenvironment.”

Tomorrow's Trade Idea, Today

PLANET LABS BLASTS OFF

Earnings Ignition

Planet Labs’ $PL ( ▼ 2.06% ) stock price shot up over 50% after the company posted its first quarter of positive free cash flow. It also delivered breakeven adjusted earnings and record revenue of $66.3 million, beating analyst expectations for both metrics.

CEO Will Marshall credited the performance to strong execution and strategic alignment, with the company projecting Q2 sales between $65 and $67 million. As a result, the stock has gained 52% YTD and 232% over the past 12 months.

Satellite Deal

Planet recently inked a $230 million contract with a long-time Asia-Pacific partner to support the launch of its next-gen Pelican satellites. The deal, which involves several years of construction and five years of satellite operation, marks Planet’s bold entrance into the satellite services market. Customers will receive dedicated regional access, while Planet retains global data licensing rights.

The contract is expected to significantly boost its balance sheet in FY 2026, accelerating its Pelican constellation buildout and expanding AI-driven space capabilities.

The Comeback Takes Flight

Planet was rocked by revenue misses and layoffs after its IPO in 2021, but it is now going through a massive rebound. It launched its Pelican-2 satellite this month, equipped with Nvidia’s $NVDA ( ▼ 1.14% ) Jetson AI platform, and announced a multiyear deal with the European Space Agency.

The CEO emphasized that long-standing client relationships and vertical integration are driving momentum in both data and satellite services. Its stock has more than doubled in the last year, proving that its strategy shift may be paying off.
