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.

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.

Reason
Canaccord lowered the firm's price target on Vertical Aerospace to $11 from $13.50 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm updated its model following the completion of its $60M equity raise at $5 per share to refelct the dilution effect of the offering. Canaccord believes management still intends to attract a large strategic partner in the near term as the VX4 prototype completes additional test flights, which would facilitate additional capital raises in the future to support development efforts.
