Prediction: Here's What a $1,000 Investment in Archer Aviation Will Be Worth by 2030

Archer Aviation, an eVTOL aircraft developer, has seen its stock fall from $9.90 to under $4 per share since its 2021 SPAC merger. Despite trailing competitor Joby Aviation in FAA certification and facing legal disputes, analysts project significant revenue growth through 2028. If the company achieves its milestones and maintains 20% revenue growth through 2030, its market cap could rise nearly fivefold to $14.6 billion, making it a potential multibagger—though it risks falling further if it misses near-term goals.

Archer Aviation vs. Joby Aviation: Which EV Airplane Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?

Both Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation are developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for commercial use, but face significant financial challenges with massive operating losses and negative cash flows. Joby is recommended as the better buy due to its lower valuation multiple (46x P/S vs. 546x), early revenue generation from its Blade acquisition, and more advanced manufacturing capabilities, though both remain highly speculative investments with substantial regulatory and execution risks.

$10,000 in Archer Aviation at Last Year's High Is About $3,840 Now. Here's What Gets It Back.

Archer Aviation stock has declined 62% from its October peak of $14.62 to $5.61, despite business progress in flight testing and FAA certification. The stock's recovery depends on three milestones: FAA type certificate approval, first fare revenue, and conversion of United Airlines' conditional purchase order for up to 200 aircraft. However, reaching the old high now requires a larger company valuation due to share dilution from stock-based compensation and the Boeing acquisition.

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.
