Archer Aviation Stock Steadies After Short-Seller Report

Archer Aviation's stock shows resilience after a short-seller report, as investors shift to the upcoming milestones and flight demonstrations for validation. This story originally appeared on MarketBeat [content-module:CompanyOverview|NYSE:ACHR] Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) recently found itself in the spotlight after a critical report from short-seller Culper Research on May 20th caused its stock to dip. However, in the days since, Archer's shares have shown signs of stabilizing. At midday on May 29, 2025, the stock price was approximately $10.66. Acher Aviation's stock activity, since the report suggests the market might be looking past the initial shock. Now, investor attention is sharply focused on Archer's upcoming operational milestones. Can the company deliver the flight demonstrations needed to fully counter the short-seller's claims and propel the stock forward? How Did Archer Stock Respond to Short Seller Claims? Culper Research's report on May 20 didn't pull any punches. It accused Archer Aviation of misleading investors about its progress. Key allegations included questions about testing timelines for its Midnight eVTOL aircraft and the validity of a key flight milestone in June 2024. Archer quickly responded, calling the claims "baseless" and questioning Culper's credibility as a research firm. What happened to the stock? Initial Drop: Archer's stock price fell sharply right after the report, by as much as 12-14% during trading on May 20 and 21. Archer's stock price fell sharply right after the report, by as much as 12-14% during trading on May 20 and 21. Finding a Floor: Over the following days, up to May 29, the stock price showed signs of stabilizing. It even saw some upward movement on May 27 and 28, closing at $10.93 and $10.95, respectively. Over the following days, up to May 29, the stock price showed signs of stabilizing. It even saw some upward movement on May 27 and 28, closing at $10.93 and $10.95, respectively. Market Interpretation: This stabilization might mean a couple of things. First, the market quickly priced in the short-seller's arguments. Second, without new, equally damaging information from Culper immediately following up, some investors may be taking a "wait and see" approach. They might be looking for Archer to prove its case through actions, not just words. Recent financial news has highlighted the ongoing dispute between the two organizations, presenting both perspectives. This media coverage has likely confused most investors, further stalling Archer's stock price progress as the market awaits a resolution. What Archer's Institutional Filings Reveal While daily stock prices can be volatile, looking at who owns a company can offer a different perspective. Reports from large institutional investors (like pension funds and investment firms) about their holdings at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 continued to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the past few weeks. These filings continue to show that many major institutions were increasing their investments in Archer before the short report surfaced. This kind of activity from large, sophisticated investors often suggests they've done their homework and believe in a company's long-term plans. This implies that they saw fundamental value in Archer leading into 2025. Archer's strong Q1 2025 financial results, reported on May 12, also provide a solid foundation. The company announced an earnings per share (EPS) that beat analyst expectations and confirmed its cash position exceeded $1 billion. This financial health is crucial for a company still developing its core product. Archer's Next Demonstrations Are Critical The most effective way for Archer to answer the short-seller's claims is through clear, verifiable progress. Investor attention is now firmly fixed on the company's ability to deliver on its stated operational targets. Key upcoming milestones include: UAE Deployment: Archer plans to deliver its first piloted Midnight aircraft to the United Arab Emirates this summer (2025). The goal is to start generating revenue there later in the year through its "Launch Edition" program with partners like Abu Dhabi Aviation.

Continued progress towards getting full Type Certification from the Federal Aviation Administration for its Midnight aircraft in the U.S. (targeted for late 2025) remains a top priority. New Initiatives: Updates on the UK cargo eVTOL testing program with Anduril UK could also show operational capability in new areas. The successful execution of these milestones, particularly visible flight demonstrations leading to early commercial operations, would directly counter many of the short-seller's core allegations regarding aircraft readiness and testing progress. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Holding Pattern or Launchpad? Archer's Next Moves Will Tell [content-module:Forecast|NYSE:ACHR] Archer Aviation's stock is in a period of consolidation after the initial impact of the Culper Research report. The market has heard the allegations and the company's defense. Now, it seems to be waiting for Archer to deliver concrete proof of its capabilities through upcoming operational validation. If Archer successfully executes its flight demonstrations, meets its UAE deployment timelines, and continues to progress with manufacturing and certification, the questions raised by the short report will likely become less significant for many investors. For those who believe in Archer's technology and the future of the eVTOL sector, this holding pattern could be an excellent period to accumulate shares before the company's next set of crucial operational catalysts.

Trump tariffs live updates: Bessent says US-China trade talks have 'stalled,' tariffs face legal limbo

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News on Thursday that trade talks between the US and China are "a bit stalled," saying a call between President Trump and China's Xi Jinping may be needed to reach a deal. Bessent's comments come as the US-China detente — reached earlier this month, when each country eased sky-high tariffs on the other — looks more fragile amid both trade-related and other tensions. Meanwhile, Trump's most sweeping tariffs have entered a period of legal uncertainty. A federal appeals court allowed the tariffs to temporarily stay in effect, a day after the US Court of International Trade blocked their implementation, deeming the method used to enact them "unlawful." That means Trump's tariff agenda remains intact, if in flux, in the latest twist in the unfolding legal saga. Late Wednesday, the trade court voted to block many of Trump's tariffs, including the flat-rate "reciprocal" tariffs aimed at US trade partners, as well as key China-focused duties. The decision left some levies intact, specifically those covering steel, aluminum, and certain Chinese goods. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which oversees the International Trade Court, granted the Trump administration's request for a temporary administrative stay. This gives the court time to review legal arguments and filings. The administration must submit its briefings by June 9, after which the court will determine the next steps. The White House had vowed Thursday to take its appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary. Administration officials also hinted that court rulings would not be the final say for a president who has based much of his economic agenda on enacting the tariffs. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has an overview of the other maneuvers Trump could pursue. Amid the legal chaos, US trade negotiations have apparently continued in earnest this week, with an FT report on Wednesday saying India has offered the US steep tariff cuts but is seeking to retain high duties on some agricultural commodities. India is not the only trading partner seeking a reprieve. On Wednesday, the EU trade chief Maroš Šefčovič said the European Commission is discussing with the US possible cooperation in sectors such as semiconductors, steel, and aerospace.

Some of China's biggest tech companies have started to switch development of their artificial intelligence to homegrown chips as opposed to using semiconductors from America, due to the US export controls — which has led to a dwindling stockpile of Nvidia (NVDA) processors.

The decision, which came sooner than expected, means the tariffs will remain in effect for now. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which oversees the International Trade Court, granted the Trump administration's request for a temporary administrative stay. This gives the court time to review legal arguments and filings. The administration must submit its briefings by June 9, after which the court will determine the next steps. As Yahoo Finance legal reporter Alexis Keenan noted, Trump has broad authority to impose tariffs through various legal channels, including Sections 232 and 301. The administration had chosen to justify the tariffs under an emergency act, citing concerns such as immigration and drug trafficking — an argument the lower court rejected. Legal experts say it's unclear how the appeals court will ultimately rule, as another court might interpret the emergency authority in a different way. Analysts are raising concerns about how a new court ruling against President Trump's tariffs could force the U.S. government to raise the debt ceiling. Reuters reports: Read more here. Tensions between the US and China are rising again after the Trump administration announced it would revoke Chinese student visas, restrict chip design software, and try to block Huawei from selling advanced AI chips globally. Per Bloomberg, China's Foreign Ministry called the crackdown on student visas "discriminatory" on Thursday but did not move to immediately retaliate, signaling it was trying to avoid the kind of rapid escalation that brought tariffs to triple-digit levels. Still, the divide shows that the two countries are far from resolving their issues — chiefly tech competition — and coming to a trade agreement. Trump has yet to speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in his second term, despite hints a few weeks ago after top officials met in Geneva that a call was imminent. Read more here. A top official said that Taiwan will continue to seek a trade deal with the US despite the trade court's ruling on Wednesday that at least temporarily paused many of President Trump's tariffs.
