Archer Aviation vs. MP Materials: Which Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

The article compares two industrial growth stocks: Archer Aviation, which is developing electric air-taxi aircraft with FAA certification hurdles ahead, and MP Materials, the only fully integrated rare earth producer in the U.S. with government backing.

GM Raised Its 2026 Profit Outlook to as Much as $16 Billion -- the Second Raise This Year. Here's the Part of the Business That Turned.

General Motors raised its 2026 profit outlook for the second time this year, expecting adjusted EBIT of $14-16 billion. The improvement is driven by steady vehicle pricing, falling warranty costs, and significantly reduced EV losses as the company completes its electric vehicle restructuring. Q2 adjusted earnings per share rose 41% year-over-year despite a 31% net income decline due to one-time EV charges. At roughly 6x guided earnings, GM appears undervalued.
