Reason
Needham raised the firm's price target on Vertical Aerospace to $11 from $9 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after spending two days at the company's battery production and aircraft testing facilities. The firm's confidence ticks highs across the company's shorter and longer term execution specific to piloted transition flight and hybrid aircraft development, as well as increased regulatory clarity vs U.S. based peers, as the stock's valuation is assigning essentially zero credit for what the firm views as a largely clean story supported by "known unknowns", the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage of Vertical Aerospace with an Overweight rating and $8 price target. The stock in early trading is up 7c to $4.74. The company has a diversified order book, three different revenue streams, and the highest degree of safety in the electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft group, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Cantor says Vertical's conditional pre-order book of over 1,500 aircraft is among the largest in the industry which could drive $6B in revenue over time. It believes the company's recently announced 1,000-mile hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing program aimed at defense, cargo and long-range commercial missions significantly expands its addressable markets beyond urban air taxis.

Buy
Reason
Needham initiated coverage of Vertical Aerospace with a Buy rating and $9 price target. The firm says Vertical Aerospace is a pure play electric vertical takeoff and landing manufacturer "getting minimal credit for gaining ground on industry leaders." The company's VX4 aircraft is closing the performance gap with recent piloted flight achievements while operating with more capital efficiency, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Needham sees shorter-term catalysts in regulatory approvals and flight milestones driving increased confidence in Vertical's longer-term opportunity.
