Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) is one of the stocks that should double in 3 years. On March 2, Archer Aviation reported its financial results for the last quarter of 2025. For the full-year 2025, Archer Aviation reported a net loss of $618.2 million and total operating expenses of $729.6 million, as the company increased investments in aircraft development, testing, certification, and production. For Q1 2026, Archer Aviation estimates an Adjusted EBITDA loss between $160 million and $180 million.
The company achieved a significant regulatory milestone by receiving final FAA acceptance of 100% of its ‘Means of Compliance,’ becoming the first eVTOL manufacturer to reach this stage. This achievement allows Archer to finalize its remaining certification plans and move toward Type Inspection Authorization activities as early as 2026. Consequently, Archer remains on track to begin piloted vertical take-off and landing operations later this year as part of the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. The company is also progressing with its commercial launch program in the UAE and targets its first passenger-carrying flights in 2026.
Archer Aviation is growing its Midnight aircraft fleet, with the newest tail currently in its VTOL flight test campaign and several other aircraft in various stages of completion. Beyond commercial air taxi operations, the company expanded its defense opportunities through a partnership with Anduril to design an autonomous, hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft. This strategy includes the company’s first third-party powertrain sale to power the Omen autonomous air vehicle. Additionally, Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) established a new UK engineering hub in Bristol to support uncrewed vehicle programs in collaboration with local partners.
