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

Archer Aviation stock has declined 62% from its October peak of $14.62 to $5.61, despite business progress in flight testing and FAA certification. The stock's recovery depends on three milestones: FAA type certificate approval, first fare revenue, and conversion of United Airlines' conditional purchase order for up to 200 aircraft. However, reaching the old high now requires a larger company valuation due to share dilution from stock-based compensation and the Boeing acquisition.
