Is Beta Technologies profitable?

With the September 2025 submission of Beta's S-1 filing, investors have gained greater insight into the company's financial situation. While the company is generating sales -- revenue of $15.4 million and $15.1 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively -- it continues to incur net losses. After reporting a net loss of $201.9 million in 2023, Beta posted a net loss of $306.3 million in 2024.

Though it generates revenue from sales of ground equipment and charging services, Beta's business model is dedicated to the eventual selling of its eVTOL aircraft to generate revenue, which will, in turn, lead to revenue from services related to the aircraft's upkeep. In its S-1, for example, the company claims that "servicing batteries, charging, maintenance, and parts, [create] a compelling opportunity for long-term profitability."

How to invest in Beta Technologies through ETFs

Because its time on public markets is extremely limited, the opportunity to gain exposure to Beta stock through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) is also limited. However, there are other ETF options for investors to consider, such as those that provide weighted exposure to aerospace stocks.

SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF

Investors seeking a conservative approach to aerospace and defense industry exposure will find the SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR -2.59%) a great choice. With $4.6 billion in assets under management, the fund's 39 holdings provide exposure to various niches of the aerospace industry.

Specialty materials manufacturer ATI (ATI -0.38%) and space stock Rocket Lab (RKLB -4.25%) are the two largest positions, while defense stalwart and drone manufacturer Kratos Defense & Security (KTOS -3.03%) is also found among the top 10 largest positions. The ETF has a gross expense ratio of 0.35%.

U.S. Global Jets ETF

Investors interested in concentrated exposure to airline stocks might want to consider piloting the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS -0.88%) into their portfolio. The fund includes the world's leading airlines.

It also provides indirect exposure to eVTOL leaders Archer and Joby Aviation (JOBY -6.14%) due to the inclusion of United Airlines (UAL -1.03%) (a 10% weighting) and Delta Air Lines (DAL -0.27%) (an 11.4% weighting). The U.S. Global Jets ETF has $824 million in net assets and an expense ratio of 0.60%.

The bottom line

According to Grand View Research, the global eVTOL market was valued at $1.4 billion in 2023, and it's expected to rise at a 55% compound annual growth rate to $28.6 billion in 2030. So, it's not surprising that investors are paying close attention to aerospace companies like Beta.

At this time, however, only investors with high risk tolerances should consider soaring into the wild blue yonder with Beta. If the stock is on your radar, though, confirming that it's making progress in achieving FAA certifications and working through its backlog may suggest Beta shares are worth purchasing.
