Beta Technologies shares rose after the aerospace company entered an agreement to supply electric pusher motors to Eve Air Mobility and received a buy rating from Bank of America.

The stock was up 9% to $28.59 in Tuesday afternoon trading. Shares have fallen nearly 21% since the company debuted on the New York Stock Exchange with a $1 billion valuation early last month.

Eve Motors said that the agreement represents a potential 10-year collaboration worth up to $1 billion for Beta. The deal was made after testing and evaluating Beta's motors in its aircraft prototype.

Bank of America and Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Beta on Monday, with Bank of America giving the stock a buy rating.

Beta's development of two all-electric aircraft and proprietary battery modules, as well as the company's strategy of pursuing component-by-component certification with the Federal Aviation Administration helped lead to Bank of America's rating, analyst Ronald Epstein said.

Morgan Stanley put the stock as overweight, with analyst Kristine Liwag forecasting FAA certification of its two aircraft in 2027.

"Beta is akin to a young Tesla, but with a more attractive endmarket of Aerospace, which has higher barriers to entry than Autos," Liwag said in a note.

Over time, once Beta secures its FAA certification, the discount may erode and the stock could trade at a premium, she said.
