Archer Aviation stock (NYSE: ACHR) has fallen roughly 38% in 2026, but Cathie Wood is buying the dip. ARK Invest funds purchased about 2.57 million ACHR shares worth $12.1 million on Oct. 6, while ARK's ARKW fund sold roughly $9.4 million of SpaceX stock (NASDAQ: SPCX).
Archer Aviation now offers a superior risk/reward profile versus Joby Aviation, driven by its Boeing acquisitions and diversified revenue streams. ACHR's acquisition of Insitu, Wisk, and SkyGrid provides immediate military and drone revenues, reducing reliance on uncertain FAA certification timelines. Valuation favors ACHR post-deal, with a ~26x visible revenue multiple versus JOBY's ~52x, despite both remaining speculative on long-duration assumptions.
ACHR combines proprietary technology with established aerospace suppliers to advance Midnight production and manufacturing scale-up.
