What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Deutsche Bank continues to rate Vertical Aerospace positively while revising its targets, most recently setting a US$5 price target after updating its model following the Q2 report. This signals ongoing interest in the long term potential despite nearer term adjustments.
-
Canaccord also keeps a Buy rating with a revised US$9 price target after Q2 results and management updates on progress toward the Valo CDR. That focus on key program milestones shows that execution on the aircraft roadmap remains central to its thesis.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Barclays moved Vertical Aerospace to Equal Weight from Underweight but at a reduced US$1 price target, down from US$2. This presents the stock as more balanced on risk and reward, with less upside indicated in its model.
-
Across Deutsche Bank and Canaccord, successive price target cuts from US$12 to US$8, then to US$5, and from US$10.50 to US$9 highlight how analysts are recalibrating expectations as they refresh assumptions on valuation and execution after recent company updates.
