On September 1, 2026, shares of Vertical Aerospace (NYSE: EVTL) experienced a significant sell--off, closing at a new 52--week low of $0.60.

This downward pressure follows a recent valuation adjustment by analysts who cited the company's projected $150 million in net cash outflows over the next 12 months against a current cash balance of approximately $134 million. The stock has now declined nearly 89% year--to--date as investors await further clarity on long--term capital resources.
