Vertical Aerospace ( (EVTL) ) has issued an announcement.

On January 20, 2026, Vertical Aerospace Ltd. held an Extraordinary General Meeting at which shareholders representing about 68% of the company’s voting power approved a substantial increase in the firm’s authorized share capital, from US$210,000 (200 million ordinary shares and 10 million preferred shares) to US$1,010,000 (1 billion ordinary shares and 10 million preferred shares). Investors also passed a special resolution to adopt a fifth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to reflect the higher authorized share capital, with both measures taking effect immediately. The move significantly expands Vertical Aerospace’s capacity to issue new equity, positioning the company to tap capital markets more flexibly for future financing needs and potential strategic initiatives, which could have material implications for existing shareholders through future dilution as the new share capacity is utilized.

The most recent analyst rating on (EVTL) stock is a Hold with a $6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vertical Aerospace stock, see the EVTL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on EVTL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EVTL is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance (minimal revenue, ongoing heavy losses, negative cash generation, and negative equity). Technical indicators are mixed but slightly supportive over longer moving averages, while valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend. Earnings-call updates show meaningful program progress, but near-term funding needs remain a key risk.
