Urban Air Mobility is no longer science fiction, and Archer Aviation (ACHR) ensures that it is in the headquarters of the pilot. The company has quietly climbed the ranks, marking a rare projector as an official air taxi supplier for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In addition, with its midnight aircraft approaching the certification of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the current global test flights and partnerships to accumulate, its vision of the air taxi 2025 wins an altitude serious.
Recently, Archer has added two strategic acquisitions to accelerate the development of new generation defense aircraft, provide internal basic composite manufacturing, secure critical talents and position themselves for defense and commercial markets.
From strategic alliances to global infrastructure games, Archer was busy building the altitude. But while the headlines boast of breakthroughs and vision, the market moves and investors are hungry for figures. Archer will publish his profits in the second quarter of 2025 after the Bell on Monday August 11 – a critical checkpoint.
This is a moment that could either feed more momentum or trigger new questions. For those who follow the future of the flight, this date is more than simple income. It is a look under the hood of one of the most watched players in the vertical industry and landing (Evtol).
Founded in 2018 and based in California, Archer Aviation rushes to redefine the mobility of urban air with its elegant Evtol plane and powered by battery. Currently valued at a market capitalization of $ 5.3 billion, the flagship archer product, designed for a 20 to 50 miles hop, approaching commercial beginnings in 2025, supported by global partnerships as a lamp for the deployment of infrastructure. Recent Defense-based acquisitions are expanding its scope beyond the city’s trips, positioning Archer as an increasing force both in commercial mobility and advanced military aviation.
Aviation Archer’s actions were on a stellar race, up 144% amazing in the last 52 weeks, by far surviving the 20% overvoltage of the S&P 500 index ($ SPX). The rally was fueled by regular progress towards the FAA certification and the tangible production stages, keeping an optimistic feeling in the air.
The ACHR action has increased by 11% in the last three months, culminating at $ 13.92 in May, then sliding and exceeding $ 13 in July before losing earnings. Now at $ 9.72, the action is 30% below its highs but the towers on its lower 52 weeks of $ 2.82.
For merchants, the graph is read as a pilot’s newspaper – rapid climbs, sudden drops and many backwinds. The next big test is whether the earnings of next week can draw a new flight trajectory or trigger another descent.

The results of the tax profits of the first quarter of 2025 of Archer Aviation, unveiled on May 12, offered a balanced mixture of turbulence and rear winds for this competitor EVTOL. The company posted a net loss of $ 93.4 million, but reduced its loss to – $ 0.17, half of last year’s brand. The adjusted Baiia slipped deeper into a negative territory at $ 109 million against $ 86.8 million a year ago, referring to a higher investment at the start of the stadium.
However, Archer has kept his disciplined expenses, with non-gap operating expenses at $ 113.1 million, highlighting a Lean approach while it goes to the commercial launch. The financial track remains robust – more than a billion dollars in cash and equivalent – giving Archer one of the thickest cushions of air mobility. This capital will feed the plans for the start of United Arab Emirates (water) later this year and a construction of New York air taxi networks.
CEO Adam Goldstein has stressed significant progress in civil and defense programs, partnerships reinforcing in the world markets. Although profitability is still distant, the combination of archer of tightened operations, strategic positioning and deep pockets maintains the scenario alive, proof that in this race towards the sky, the company is always very in the flight plan.
With the results of the Q2 on the bridge next week, Archer Aviation heads to another critical checkpoint. Management is preparing for a loss of EBITDA adjusted between $ 100 million and $ 120 million – a recall that even high volers can burn a serious fuel before altitude navigation.
Meanwhile, analysts who follow the company provide losses in the second quarter to reach 25.8% in annual shift (annual sliding) at $ 0.23 per share, still with zero revenues on the board of directors. Looking further for the 2025 financial year, the forecast requires an additional cut, with losses which contract from 33.1% per year to – $ 0.95 per share, then by relaxing an additional 4.2% during the financial year 2026 to – $ 0.91 per share.
In early July, Midnight Evtol d’Archer Aviation left Al Bateen’s Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, marking his first water test flight. The event, assisted by the senior aviation officials, was an important step in the launch partnership of Archer with Abu Dhabi Aviation and underlined the international expansion imprint of the company.
The market response was fast. Canaccord Genuity and Cantor Fitzgerald both reiterated the ratings “buy” with price targets of $ 13, praising the stable archer’s progress towards FAA approval and its growing presence for water as signs of commercial preparation.
But as the version of the wins of the Q2 approaches, the tone is not universally optimistic. JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson noted its $ 9 a goal to $ 10, but has had a “neutral” note, warning against “irrational exuberance”. While acknowledging a strong dynamic of the sector and the winds of political tail of the administration of President Donald Trump, the analyst reported burns in persistent cash and possible delays in income as short -term risks.
The ACHR action has a consensus note “buy moderate” overall. On the nine analysts covering the stock, five recommend a “strong purchase”, two suggest a “moderate purchase” and the other two play safely with a “maintenance” note.
The average price target of $ 12.17 suggests that stocks have an increase of 25% compared to current levels. The high objective of the street of $ 18 implies that the ACHR could rally up to 85% from here.
