He views BETA as the leading pure‑play original equipment manufacturer in the sector, with growing traction in the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, increasing flight operations, and a rapidly expanding charging network, all supporting long‑term commercial viability. He acknowledges regulatory timing as a key risk but believes certification is ultimately a matter of “when” rather than “if,” given BETA’s accumulating test progress against evolving FAA requirements. Anchored by this conviction and the company’s strengthening operational momentum, he reiterates an unchanged $34 price target, which reflects a 20x multiple on his 2030 adjusted earnings outlook and supports a Buy recommendation. ### Related Stocks - [BETA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BETA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Beta CEO Clark Kyle disposes of USD 1.96 million in Beta common shares](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296278104.md) - [Beta Technologies CEO Clark Kyle disposes of USD 2.12 million in common shares](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296653739.md) - [RocketLab’s Neutron Update, On Holdings Earnings, and the eVTOL Rivalry Heats Up](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296044733.md) - [Joby and Archer Are Racing to FAA Certification While Burning Hundreds of Millions a Year.
