What BETA Technologies does

Developing electric aircraft (ALIA eVTOL and fixed-wing eCTOL) plus charging infrastructure for cargo, medical and military use.

Revenue so far is small and comes from charging equipment, electric propulsion units and development work rather than from aircraft deliveries, which wait on FAA type certification. The company is based in Vermont.

What could go right

  • Certification and entry into cargo/medical service
  • Military/defense pilot programs

What could go wrong

  • Certification timeline slippage
  • Pre-revenue cash burn

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, regulatory licence). Early FAA certification progress and a proprietary charging network are hard to replicate quickly.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
