Beta Technologies Valued at $7.4 Billion in NYSE Debut
Electric aircraft manufacturer Beta Technologies made its highly anticipated debut on the New York Stock Exchange on November 4, 2025, achieving a market valuation of $7.4 billion after its shares opened at $34 each, matching the IPO offer price. The company raised $1.01 billion in its initial public offering, reflecting strong investor confidence in the growing electric aviation sector.
Founded in 2017 and based in Burlington, Vermont, Beta Technologies designs and builds electric aircraft, propulsion systems, and charging infrastructure. Its flagship CX300 ALIA, a fully electric conventional takeoff and landing aircraft, has undergone extensive flight testing across the U.S. and Europe. The company is also developing an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) version of the ALIA to target regional and urban air mobility markets.
In September 2025, GE Aerospace invested $300 million in Beta to co-develop hybrid-electric propulsion systems, giving Beta access to advanced turbine expertise and large-scale manufacturing capabilities. The partnership aims to expand the company’s reach into defense and cargo operations with future hybrid variants.
Beta’s IPO marks a significant milestone for the electric aviation industry, placing it alongside public peers such as Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation. With approximately 1,600 employees and growing institutional backing, Beta is preparing for production and certification of its eVTOL aircraft, expected between 2027 and 2028, as it positions itself at the forefront of sustainable air mobility innovation.
