Eve Holding (EVEX), an urban air mobility developer backed by Embraer, has drawn attention after recent trading performance, with shares around $4.52 and mixed returns across the past week, month, and past 3 months.
See our latest analysis for Eve Holding.
At a share price of $4.52, Eve Holding has seen earlier short term share price gains fade, with a 7.88% year to date share price return set against a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 2.38% and a 5 year total shareholder return decline of 65.50%. This reflects how sentiment around its long term prospects has shifted over time.
If Eve’s recent moves have you looking beyond a single name, this may be a moment to scan aerospace and defense stocks for other aviation and defense related ideas on your radar.
With Eve posting a loss of $201.032m, no current revenue, rapid annual growth in revenue and net income figures, and a share price well below some analyst targets, is this pricing in future growth or pointing to a potential opportunity the market is still debating?
On a P/B of 8.6x at a last close of $4.52, Eve Holding trades at a richer level than both its Aerospace & Defense peers and the wider industry averages.
The P/B ratio compares the market value of the company to its book value, which is essentially the net assets on the balance sheet. For a business like Eve that is still loss making and generating less than US$1m in revenue, investors often lean on P/B when earnings based multiples such as P/E are not meaningful.
Here, the statements indicate that Eve is currently unprofitable, reports a loss of US$201.032m, has no meaningful revenue, and is forecast to remain unprofitable over the next 3 years. Set against that backdrop, paying 8.6x book value suggests the market is placing a high price on future potential rather than current financial performance.
Compared with the US Aerospace & Defense industry average P/B of 4.3x and a peer average of 4.1x, Eve’s 8.6x multiple sits at roughly double those levels. That is a strong premium, and according to the data the shares are described as expensive on this basis.

Result: Price to book of 8.6x (OVERVALUED)
However, the absence of current revenue and a US$201.032m loss, alongside the rich 8.6x P/B multiple, could quickly challenge confidence if expectations shift.
Find out about the key risks to this Eve Holding narrative.
The rich 8.6x P/B ratio makes Eve look expensive next to the US Aerospace & Defense average of 4.3x and a 4.1x peer average. However, our DCF model suggests the shares trade about 83.3% below an estimated fair value of US$27.06. That is a sharp contrast, so which signal do you treat as more important?
