Archer Aviation's stock has dropped 5.07%, hitting a 5-day low, amid ongoing competitive pressures in the eVTOL market. Generali Powszechne Towarzystwo Emerytalne recently acquired 1,000,000 shares of Archer for approximately $7.52 million, reflecting confidence in the company's potential despite its significant net losses and declining stock performance. This investment may signal a strategic emphasis on Archer's future developments, particularly as the urban air mobility market is projected to grow significantly over the next decade.
