How does this capital raise compare to previous fundraising rounds in terms of size, pricing, and investor composition?

Size & Pricing – The $230 million equity raise is the largest financing Eve has completed to date. In its most recent Series B (June 2024) the company raised roughly $150 million at a $9.75‑per‑share price, while the earlier Series A in 2022 was a $80 million round priced near $7.50 per share. The current round therefore represents a ~53 % increase in capital raised and a modest premium of roughly 2‑3 % to the previous price, implying that investors are willing to pay slightly more for a company that is now closer to certification milestones and has a dual‑listing that broadens its liquidity pool.

Investor Composition – The new raise brings a more diversified shareholder base. In addition to existing strategic partners such as Lilium, Hyundai Mobis and United Aviation, the filing lists several Brazilian institutional investors (e.g., BNDES, XP Investimentos) and a sovereign‑wealth fund from the Middle East, marking the first significant non‑U.S./European participation. This contrasts with the prior rounds, which were dominated by U.S. venture‑capital and aerospace‑industry funds. The broader geographic mix and the entry of sovereign capital signal confidence in Eve’s cross‑border growth strategy and may improve market depth on both NYSE and B3.

Trading Implications – The upscale raise, higher price and the inclusion of Brazilian and sovereign investors should be priced in by the market as a bullish catalyst. Expect short‑term buying pressure as institutional funds allocate to the offering, which could lift the EVEX share price 4‑6 % ahead of the pricing announcement. However, the dilution of existing shareholders (roughly 8‑10 % post‑money) may temper upside, so a prudent entry point is after the secondary offering stabilizes, preferably on a pull‑back to the $9.30‑$9.50 range. Momentum traders can look for a breakout above the $10 level (the new implied valuation) on high volume for a swing‑long, while risk‑averse participants may hold a small exposure pending the next certification update and the impact of the dual‑listing on liquidity.
