    BETA Technologies: Assessing Valuation After Recent 2% Share Price Gain and Ongoing Recovery Signs

    Simply Wall St·12/10/2025 21:17:24
    Listen to the news

    BETA Technologies (BETA) shares climbed about 2% today, extending a roughly 9% gain over the past week, as investors weigh rapid revenue growth against ongoing losses and a weaker year-to-date performance.

    See our latest analysis for BETA Technologies.

    Despite the latest close at $31.02 and a solid 7 day share price return of 9.34%, the year to date share price return of negative 13.83% shows that, for now, this bounce looks more like early rebuilding of momentum than a full trend reversal.

    If this kind of early stage recovery story interests you, it can be worth scanning other aerospace names using our curated list of aerospace and defense stocks.

    With annual revenue surging but losses still deep and the share price sitting about 21% below analyst targets, the key question now is simple: is BETA Technologies a mispriced growth story, or is the market already discounting its future?

    Price-to-Book of -4.5x: Is it justified?

    BETA Technologies currently carries a negative price to book ratio of -4.5x, which complicates any simple read on whether the last close at $31.02 is rich or cheap versus peers.

    The price to book ratio compares a company’s market value to its accounting equity, which is often used in asset heavy, capital intensive sectors like aerospace and defense. When equity turns negative, it usually reflects heavy cumulative losses or leverage, so the multiple becomes less meaningful as a standard valuation yardstick.

    In BETA’s case, negative equity and a -4.5x price to book leave the stock looking structurally different to both the broader US Aerospace and Defense industry, where the average sits around 3.5x, and to its closer peer set at roughly 4.2x. Rather than suggesting a bargain, this stark gap highlights how far BETA’s balance sheet stands from a more typical profile, and it underlines that investors are effectively paying up for growth potential and technology, not current book value.

    However, steep ongoing losses and negative equity mean that any stumble in execution or slower adoption of electric aircraft could quickly undermine the current recovery narrative.
