Investing.com – After a regulatory filing showed that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) acquired a 5.3% stake in electric aviation company BETA Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BETA), BETA Technologies’ stock surged 18.7% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

According to a Schedule 13G filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Amazon beneficially owns 11,753,896 shares of Class A common stock of BETA Technologies. The e-commerce giant holds these shares through its wholly owned subsidiary, Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, which has voting and investment rights independent of Amazon.

The filing indicates that Amazon’s ownership is based on BETA Technologies’ total of 220.5 million Class A common shares as of the quarter ending September 30, 2025, according to BETA’s quarterly report.

Headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont, BETA Technologies has been developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for logistics and transportation. Amazon’s investment may suggest that the retail giant intends to expand its delivery capabilities through electric aviation technology.

Currently, both companies have not issued any statements regarding the investment or any potential collaboration plans.
