A Look At BETA Technologies (BETA) Valuation After Surf Air Deal And eVTOL Pilot Program Wins
BETA Technologies, Inc. Class A BETA | 14.10 | -5.87% |
BETA Technologies (BETA) is back in focus after Surf Air Mobility agreed to buy 25 ALIA CTOL aircraft, with options for up to 75 more, to launch commercial electric passenger services starting in Hawaii.
The Surf Air Mobility deal follows a busy few weeks that included full year 2025 results, updated 2026 revenue guidance and selection for seven of eight federal eVTOL Integration Pilot Programs. Despite these developments, the share price remains under pressure, with a 90-day share price return showing a 43% decline and a year-to-date share price return showing a 37.39% decline. By contrast, the 30-day share price return shows a 2.03% gain, suggesting only a modest attempt to stabilise around the latest close at $17.11.

Most Popular Narrative: 54.8% Undervalued
At $17.11, BETA Technologies sits well below the most followed fair value estimate of $37.88, putting the current analyst narrative firmly in the spotlight.
Scaling deposit backed CTOL and VTOL backlogs into firm APAs, combined with a rising mix of higher quality operators and potential Republic sized orders, can convert today’s $3.5 billion aircraft backlog and $1 billion component backlog into accelerating recognized revenue and improved visibility on multi year earnings.
Want to see what sits behind that backlog story and the $37.88 fair value? Revenue projections, margin shifts and a future earnings multiple all play a part.
Result: Fair Value of $37.88 (UNDERVALUED)
However, you also need to weigh regulatory setbacks or tighter access to capital, which could delay aircraft deliveries and extend the path to positive earnings.
