Archer Aviation Stock Is Down Roughly 50% This Year. Here's Why I'm Still Buying.

Archer Aviation's stock has dropped 50% in 2026, but the company has made significant operational progress. The eVTOL pioneer completed Phase 3 of FAA certification and conducted successful test flights. Additionally, Archer announced plans to acquire three Boeing subsidiaries, including profitable drone maker Insitu, which generated over $200 million in annual revenue. Despite risks including shareholder dilution and ongoing losses, the author believes the company's progress justifies buying at current prices.
