Archer Aviation Shares Up 36% in a Month as Boeing Deal and Defense Pivot Drive Momentum
Archer Aviation shares rose more than 36% in the month to August 14, 2026, after a definitive deal to acquire Boeing's Wisk Aero, SkyGrid and Insitu units, with Boeing taking nearly a 20% stake.
Why It Matters: The deal shows eVTOL developers increasingly buying autonomy, drone and defense capability rather than building it, using established manufacturer partnerships to fund the shift.
