Peer group, and who names BlackSky Technology as a peer
Companies that benchmark against BKSY
No companies currently name BKSY as a compensation peer in their most recent disclosure.
This is the complete answer, not a partial one — the list is never padded.
Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Peer reciprocity
Of the companies BlackSky Technology Inc. names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
Reciprocity shown where the peer’s own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer’s filing. A dash means the peer’s current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including BlackSky Technology Inc..

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
