Business Snapshot
Archer Aviation is a pre-commercial aerospace company focused on developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility. The company competes in the emerging advanced air mobility market as a challenger to deep-pocketed peers, striving to achieve FAA certification and initial production. It is a micro-cap enterprise with annualized revenue of just $1.60 million and a net loss of $742.5 million over the trailing twelve months, placing it firmly in the development stage. The defining characteristic of the company is its extreme cash burn rate as it invests in aircraft development and manufacturing infrastructure, making it wholly dependent on capital markets for survival.
