Goldman Sachs names BETA Technologies as its top pick in the electric vertical takeoff and landing space, citing its strategic approach to certification and business model. The firm also assigns ratings to competitors Archer Aviation, Eve Holding, and Joby Aviation.

With a stepwise certification strategy, BETA accelerates revenue and learning curve without sacrificing EVTOL timeline. The company’s partnership with GE and approach to selling parts to competitors aids in scaling. Goldman sees BETA’s aircraft OEM and parts supplier model as most attractive in aviation.

Goldman analyst Anthony Valentini highlights technology advancements and reshoring focus for sector visibility. Competition is fierce, with aftermarket-rich models and clear revenue visibility favored. BETA Technologies went public last month, raising over $1 billion with a market cap of almost $6 billion.

BETA Technologies began trading on NYSE under the ticker symbol BETA. The company is developing autonomous flight technology with Near Earth Autonomy, having logged over 1,000 hours of uncrewed flights. Flight testing of integrated autonomous systems is set to start in 2026.

BETA’s autonomous capability will enhance speed, payload, and range without a pilot. The partnership with Near Earth benefits defense and commercial customers. BETA also secures a contract with Abu Dhabi Airports for charging systems, expanding its international network.

Policy support from Washington boosts the advanced air mobility industry. Orders focused on autonomous electric aircraft favor BETA stock. Analysts forecast revenue growth from $30 million in 2022 to $2.8 billion in 2029, with a need for additional capital.

Analysts are optimistic on BETA stock, with most giving it a “Strong Buy” rating. The stock’s potential growth and strategic partnerships make it an attractive investment.
