1 eVTOL Stock to Buy, and 1 to Avoid

Joby Aviation is recommended as a superior eVTOL investment compared to Archer Aviation. Joby's S4 aircraft offers better range (150 vs 100 miles) and speed (200 vs 150 mph), uses more efficient single-tilt-rotor technology, and operates a vertically integrated business model with stronger FAA certification progress. Despite trading at a higher valuation multiple (15.5x vs 8.5x 2028 sales), Joby's superior technology and operational model justify the premium over Archer's OEM-focused approach.
