Jim Cramer says Planet Labs is not a stock to chase blindly at these levels

Teledyne Technologies said it is supplying advanced imaging detectors for Europe's Sentinel-3C and Fluorescence Explorer Earth observation satellites, and separately disclosed an award to provide specialist energetics for next-generation unmanned defence systems programs in Europe. The imaging hardware supports environmental monitoring missions focused on oceans, land surfaces and atmospheric conditions, while the energetics contract covers tailored components for autonomous platforms used in emerging European defence applications. The unmanned systems award is valued at $15.4 million. Teledyne Technologies, a US-based electronics group with a market cap of about $27.9 billion, supplies enabling technologies to industrial and government customers. The company said execution risk remains around integration of e2v and other imaging assets and potential margin pressure if these technically complex programmes overrun on cost or schedule.

Rocket Lab Corporation successfully launched its 96th Electron mission, delivering the 12th StriX satellite for synthetic aperture radar company Synspective into an exact 572km low Earth orbit. The 'Owl By The Dozen' mission lifted off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand at 3:22pm NZST on September 19, 2026, marking Rocket Lab's 17th launch of 2026 and extending its 100% mission success record across its multi-year launch partnership with Synspective. Electron's Kick Stage placed the satellite with pinpoint accuracy, maximizing on-orbit lifetime and supporting immediate integration into Synspective's Earth-monitoring constellation. Rocket Lab has 15 additional dedicated Electron missions manifested through the end of the decade to complete Synspective's commercial SAR constellation. With 17 launches completed so far in 2026, Electron continues to lead the global commercial small-lift sector in frequency and reliability.

CACI International announced a one-year plus four option periods US$1.50 billion-ceiling Apollo award to support U.S. Central Command, alongside being selected by Vantor to provide optical imaging payloads for its planned Vantor Pulse satellite fleet. The Apollo award strengthens near-term revenue visibility and fits a pattern of federal customers consolidating critical work with fewer providers on large, multi-year frameworks, though it does not remove risks around federal budget volatility and contract timing. CACI's narrative projects $12.2 billion revenue and $727.8 million earnings by 2029, requiring 8.3% yearly revenue growth and a roughly $192 million earnings increase from $535.8 million today. Some of the most optimistic analysts already expected CACI to reach about US$12.7 billion of revenue and US$862 million of earnings before this news. The company's forecasts yield a $724.50 fair value, a 16% upside to its current price.
