Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Aerospace & Defense is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Adjusted EBITDA loss narrows toward break-even by end of 2026: Q3-26 guidance mid -$185M vs target >-$170M.
View ThesisRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 10%, softest on share dilution.
View QualityThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 67% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskArcher Aviation (ACHR) must grow its eVTOL operations to justify its price. The company is starting U.S. eVTOL operations under the Integration Pilot Program. Revenue growth has been weak, and the last quarter missed expectations. Revenue is only $6.9 million, while it is acquiring Boeing's business for over $200 million. ACHR trades at a low valuation compared to its peers. The price is roughly in line with the growth we forecast. A risk is that ACHR may cut guidance on the next call. Peer multiples imply a price about 50% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. ACHR is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 1 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-09-04. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
