At the same time, Wood continued to trim the fund's position in the defense sector by selling a total of 46,941 shares of Kratos Defense and Security Solutions (KTOS) for $1.94 million.
Why Did ACHR Drop?
Archer Aviation stock plunged 14.8% on Friday after the company announced an $850 million direct stock offering priced at $10 per share. Shareholders dumped ACHR stock in response to the impending dilution from the additional share sale. Archer Aviation has set ambitious targets ahead of the LA 28 Olympic Games, at which it is expected to serve as the Official Air Taxi Provider for the Olympic Games and Team USA.
Moreover, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order last week to implement an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program in the U.S., and Archer Aviation stands to benefit significantly as one of the few eVTOL companies.
Is ACHR a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Analysts remain divided on Archer Aviation's long-term stock trajectory. On TipRanks, ACHR stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on four Buys and two Hold ratings. Also, the average Archer Aviation price target of $11.75 implies 17.6% upside potential from current levels. Meanwhile, ACHR stock has already gained more than 215% in the past year.

Oil Stocks Rise, Airline Shares Fall as Middle East Tensions Continue
Shares of oil companies were some of the S&P 500's top gainers Tuesday as investors evaluated fresh developments in the conflict between Israel and Iran. West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, crude futures rose more than 4% in mid-afternoon trading to about $75 per barrel. Shares of Valero Energy (VLO), APA (APA), Marathon Petroleum (MPC), Chevron (CVX), Hess (HES), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY) increased by more than 2%, with Valero up 3.4%. Oil prices rose after a pair of posts on Truth Social by President Donald Trump amid ongoing Israel-Iran tensions. In one post, Trump said that "We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding," referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; in another, he called for Iran's "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Concerns about a protracted conflict in the Middle East have lifted oil prices amid supply fears. Airline stocks fell on Tuesday, with shares of United Airlines (UAL) and Delta Air Lines (DAL) among the biggest decliners in the S&P 500, down 5% and 4%, respectively. Fuel constitutes a large and unpredictable expense for carriers, with Delta buying an oil refinery near Philadelphia in 2012. Read Investopedia's full coverage of today's trading here.

Trump Mobile is expected to offer a network 5G service with "The 47 Plan," along with its own smartphone. "Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we're building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service," Donald Trump Jr. said in a news release. Here's a look into the mobile plan and whether it will be available in Tennessee. Trump Mobile is an e-SIM card that is compatible with most Android phones. Users will need to see if their phone is compatible to be able to use the network.

Toy company challenges Trump's tariffs before the Supreme Court in long shot bid for quick decision
WASHINGTON — An Illinois toy company challenged President Donald Trump's tariffs in front of the Supreme Court on Tuesday in a long shot bid to press the justices to quickly decide whether they are legal. Learning Resources Inc. filed an appeal asking the Supreme Court to take up the case soon rather than let it continue to play out in lower courts. The company argues the Republican president illegally imposed tariffs under an emergency powers law rather than getting approval from Congress.
