On August 11, Archer Aviation Inc. rose 5.11% in regular trading, trading at $6.54/share with turnover of approximately $51.25 million. The stock continued to gain momentum following a landmark acquisition announcement and stronger-than-expected quarterly results.
On the news front, Archer Aviation announced the acquisition of three Boeing subsidiaries — Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid — with Boeing receiving approximately 20% equity in Archer as consideration. Boeing committed to a 12-month lock-up period on the shares received and will appoint a representative to Archer's board. The deal injects autonomous flight technology and unmanned systems capabilities into Archer, accelerating its eVTOL commercialization timeline. Simultaneously, Archer reported Q2 revenue of $5 million, significantly exceeding the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.9 million, while EPS of $(0.34) was in line with expectations and represented a year-over-year improvement from $(0.36). The CEO characterized the quarter as an inflection point for the company, which plans to launch commercial eVTOL flights by year-end or early next year.
