Where Will Archer Aviation Stock Be in 3 Years?
Makers of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) aim to revolutionize the transportation industry by allowing people to literally fly above urban traffic on short-haul routes. Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) is an early mover in the air taxi space, and with its market cap at just $5.83 billion now, new investors can still get in early on what could be an exciting long-term growth opportunity. That said, potential rewards often correlate with potential risk in the stock market. And in late May, a report from short-seller Culper Research cast doubts about the quality of Archer Aviation's communications with investors and the public. Remember that short-sellers make money when a stock falls. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Culper Research is short Archer Aviation On May 20, Culper Research published a report titled "Archer Aviation (ACHR): When You Can't Earn Airtime in the Sky, Buy it on Late Night Television" and featuring an image of Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein alongside Jimmy Fallon, host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Culper Research claims the company "systematically misled" investors about its progress toward developing and testing its flagship Midnight aircraft. The report cites examples from employee emails, photos, and public statements that the short-seller believes contradict Archer Aviation's claims about the progress of its eVTOL program. The stock didn't immediately drop after the report, but was down about 18% from the close of trading May 19 to the close on June 5. Archer's management fired back in a statement, dismissing the claims as "baseless" and questioning Culper's credibility. Short-sellers profit when the price of a stock that they have shorted goes down, which gives them an incentive to present such a company's situation as negatively as possible. That gives me pause about the Culper report. Furthermore, even if Archer Aviation is overselling the progress of its eVTOL program, that's par for the course for speculative tech companies. For example, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has frequently made projections about timelines and projects (such as self-driving) that have rarely played out the way he said they would. Expectations of some exaggerations and delays are likely already priced into Archer Aviation's stock. Focus on the fundamentals Instead of getting caught up in news stories and short-seller allegations, investors should focus on Archer Aviation's financial reports. This data should give investors the best indications of how long the company can sustain its operations while it waits for factors outside its control, such as regulatory approvals. So far, the situation is complicated. In the first quarter, its operating losses stood at $144 million, compared to $142 million in the prior-year period. This was mainly due to research and development outflows, as it spent more to bring the Midnight aircraft closer to commercialization. However, with around $1 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet, Archer Aviation could sustain that rate of cash burn for about seven more quarters before it would need to seek outside sources of capital. The company is also working on expanding its manufacturing capabilities through a partnership with multinational automaker Stellantis. The companies are teaming up to build a manufacturing facility in Covington, Georgia, that will eventually be capable of producing up to 650 aircraft annually, with Stellantis contributing expertise and capital to the project. Archer Aviation expects to be able to produce two Midnight aircraft per month by the end of 2025. What will the next three years have in store? Like many speculative companies, Archer Aviation presents a hugely optimistic vision for its future. While the company is still awaiting final approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the U.S., in international markets, it seems to be moving much faster. Early "launch edition" customers for its eVTOLs include Ethiopian Airlines and Abu Dhabi Aviation, which plans to take delivery of Midnight aircraft later this year. Over the next three years, Archer's revenue growth could accelerate dramatically as it secures more clients and ramps up production. But while this is exciting news for investors, it is unclear if these customers plan to merely test and experiment with eVTOLS or incorporate them into large-scale revenue-generating operations. Furthermore, investors shouldn't be surprised if there are delays and disappointments associated with the aircraft's commercialization, especially considering the allegations made in Culper Research's report. Archer Aviation remains a high-risk, high-potential-reward bet and it's not clear where it will be in three years. Should you invest $1,000 in Archer Aviation right now?

Apple, Amazon and Spotify challenging CRTC's Canadian content rules in court this week
Some of the world's biggest streaming companies will argue in court on Monday that they shouldn't have to make CRTC-ordered financial contributions to Canadian content and news. Article content The companies are fighting an order from the federal broadcast regulator that says they must pay five per cent of their annual Canadian revenues to funds devoted to producing Canadian content, including local TV news. Article content Article content Article content The case, which consolidates several appeals by streamers, will be heard by the Federal Court of Appeal in Toronto. Article content Article content In December, the court put a pause on the payments — estimated to be at least $1.25 million annually per company. Amazon, Apple and Spotify had argued that if they made the payments and then won the appeal and overturned the CRTC order, they wouldn't be able to recover the money. Article content In court documents, the streamers put forward a long list of arguments on why they shouldn't have to pay, including technical points regarding the CRTC's powers under the Broadcasting Act. Article content Spotify argued that the contribution requirement amounts to a tax, which the CRTC doesn't have the authority to impose. The music streamer also took issue with the CRTC requiring the payments without first deciding how it will define Canadian content. Article content Article content Amazon argued the federal cabinet specified the CRTC's requirements have to be 'equitable.' Article content Article content It said the contribution requirement is 'inequitable because it applies only to foreign online undertakings and only to such undertakings with more than $25 million in annual Canadian broadcasting revenues.' Article content Apple also said the regulator 'acted prematurely' and argued the CRTC didn't consider whether the order was 'equitable.' It pointed out Apple is required to contribute five per cent, while radio stations must only pay 0.5 per cent — and streamers don't have the same access to the funds into which they pay. Article content The CRTC imposes different rules on Canadian content contributions from traditional media players. It requires large English-language broadcasters to contribute 30 per cent of revenues to Canadian programming.

Ark Invest bought CRCL stock through three different ARK ETFs, totaling a massive $139 million.
