For Q2, BETA reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $109.8 million. Wall Street had expected a loss of $106.2 million. Revenue came in at $14.66 million, well ahead of the $9.5 million consensus.

So the top line surprised to the upside. The bottom line, not so much.

Full-Year Guidance: Better on Revenue, Worse on Losses

BETA raised its full-year revenue outlook to $42 million to $50 million, up from the previous $39 million to $43 million. The new midpoint of $46 million sits well above the analyst consensus of $41.5 million.

On the EBITDA side, the company narrowed its full-year loss guidance to $400 million to $445 million. That looks tighter than the prior range of $355 million to $445 million, but the lower end moved in the wrong direction.

Wall Street had projected a 2026 EBITDA loss of $427.1 million, which falls within the updated range.

A Pattern That Has the Market on Edge

This isn’t the first time BETA has left investors uneasy after a quarterly report. In Q1 2026, the company posted a loss of 53 cents per share, missing the 45-cent consensus. Analysts had expected Q2 to show improvement, with a 46-cent loss projected.

That prior miss set a cautious tone heading into today’s print, and the market’s reaction suggests some of those concerns carried over.

BETA filed a Form 8-K with the SEC in connection with the earnings release and hosted a live results webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET Wednesday.

The broader market gave BETA no help. The S&P 500 edged up 0.3%, the Dow added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq gained 0.7%, making clear the selloff was company-specific.

All eight analysts covering BETA maintain a Buy rating, with consensus price targets well above current levels. The analyst community doesn’t appear to be changing its long-term view.

BETA completed its IPO in November 2025. The stock has dropped around 32% from its closing price on that first trading day, and is down about 13% year-to-date.

The company makes electrified propulsion systems for aircraft, charging infrastructure, and eVTOL aircraft. It remains firmly in early-stage territory, with full-year revenue guidance still in the low tens of millions.

At $42 million to $50 million in projected revenue against a potential $445 million EBITDA loss, the cash burn remains steep.

The Q2 revenue beat was a real positive. But the market’s focus right now is squarely on the cost side.
