Archer Aviation (ACHR) stock has had a tough run, with the stock down 34% over the past month and 26% year-to-date. The drop comes despite steady progress in flight testing, new partnership deals, and better-than-expected Q3 results. The main concern remains that Archer still does not generate meaningful revenue, and the market may be losing patience. The stock has also been weighed down by the ongoing FAA approval process.

Selling pressure also increased after Archer filed a prospectus on November 19 for the resale of more than 1 million shares, which raised dilution worries. Even with these near-term challenges, most analysts remain optimistic. For instance, Canaccord recently lifted its price target to $13 from $12 and kept a Buy rating, noting that Archer’s move to license its battery-electric powertrain to a third party could create a new revenue stream. With all of this in view, it’s a good time to look at who owns ACHR shares.
Now, according to TipRanks’ ownership page, public companies and individual investors own 45% of ACHR. They are followed by insiders, ETFs, mutual funds, and other institutional investors, at 24.28%, 20.44%, 8.29%, and 1.99%, respectively.
