$10,000 in Archer Aviation at Last Year's High Is About $3,840 Now. Here's What Gets It Back.

Archer Aviation (ACHR) stock has fallen 62% since its October 2022 peak of $14.62. The company's flight testing and FAA certification progress have not prevented this decline. Recovery to the previous high would require FAA approval, first revenue, and airline order deliveries. Archer's share count has increased by 18% since the peak, and it expects widening losses. The stock rose 25% in August after announcing a Boeing deal and expected revenue. ACHR's market cap is currently $4.3B.
