Archer Aviation Inc (ACHR) is not a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment. The stock shows bearish technical indicators, lacks positive trading signals, and faces significant negative sentiment from analysts and operational concerns. Additionally, the company's financial performance is weak, with no revenue growth and continued losses. Given these factors, it is recommended to avoid investing in ACHR at this time.
The technical indicators for ACHR are bearish. The MACD is negative and expanding downward, the RSI is neutral but leaning towards oversold territory, and the moving averages indicate a bearish trend (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5). The stock is trading below its pivot point (6.992) and is closer to its support levels (S1: 6.529, S2: 6.244), suggesting further downside risk.

The company announced its Q4 2025 earnings release date (March 2, 2026), which could provide more clarity on its financial and operational performance. Additionally, Canaccord recently raised its price target to $13, citing a new revenue stream from its proprietary battery-electric powertrain technology.
Culper Research has issued a negative report, alleging misleading practices, lack of operational progress, and safety concerns. The company has not conducted any ground or air tests in the past three months and lacks an airworthiness certificate for its aircraft. Insider and hedge fund trading trends are neutral, indicating no strong support from key stakeholders.
In Q3 2025, the company reported no revenue growth (0% YoY), a net loss of $129.9 million (improved by 12.66% YoY), and a decline in EPS to -0.2 (-31.03% YoY). Gross margin remains at 0%, highlighting the absence of profitability.
Analyst sentiment is mixed. Canaccord maintains a Buy rating with a raised price target of $13, citing potential new revenue streams. However, Culper Research has a highly negative outlook, raising concerns about the company's operational transparency and safety practices.
