On August 12, Archer Aviation Inc. declined 8.01% in regular trading, trading at $6.25/share with turnover of $149 million. The pullback follows a two-session rally of roughly 20%, driven by the company's announcement to acquire Boeing's Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid subsidiaries and a Q2 revenue beat of $5 million versus the $1.9 million consensus estimate.
Under the transaction, Boeing exchanged three subsidiaries for approximately 20% equity in Archer, with a 12-month lock-up on consideration shares and a board seat. While Q2 EPS of $(0.34) met expectations and narrowed from $(0.36) year-over-year, the substantial equity dilution from Boeing's stake and Archer's continued cash burn appear to have prompted profit-taking following the initial euphoria. Within the Aerospace and Defense sector, Honeywell Aerospace Inc rose 2.66%, while Boeing fell 1.18%, RTX Corp fell 1.01%, and GE Aerospace declined 0.43%.
