BETA: A $4 Billion Backlog And A Free Option On Hybrid Flight

BETA Technologies, in partnership with GE Aerospace, advances hybrid-electric aviation with a retrofitted Saab 340B, signaling a potential inflection point for regional hybrid aircraft. BETA's backlog nears $4 billion, with strong KPI progress and a robust net cash position mitigating certification and production risks. The market currently prices BETA mainly as an electric aircraft manufacturer, heavily discounting its charging, hybrid, and autonomy businesses, offering significant long-term optionality. BETA’s R&D focus is shifting toward software, autonomy, and manufacturing, with 347 granted US patents and 404 applications reflecting rapid innovation.
