Archer Aviation (ACHR) shares ripped higher on Monday morning after the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) specialist announced a landmark deal with Boeing (BA). Under the agreement, ACHR will acquire three Boeing subsidiaries — autonomous eVTOL rival Wisk Aero, defense system maker Insitu, and airspace management software firm SkyGrid — in an all-stock transaction that increases Boeing’s equity stake in Archer to 19.75%.
Archer Aviation stock has reversed half of its intraday gains in recent hours, but is still up roughly 38% versus its year-to-date low.
