With Archer Aviation Stock Up 245%, Let’s Look at Who Owns It

Archer Aviation (ACHR), which makes electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has jumped 245% in the past year. Even though it hasn’t started making revenue yet, the company is making real progress toward going commercial. Meanwhile, the Trump team has pushed to ease regulations that had been slowing down the testing and production of this new aviation tech. Many Wall Street analysts see this as a major boost for Archer. For instance, H.C. Wainwright analyst Amit Dayal recently raised his price target on Archer Aviation to $18 from $12, keeping a Buy rating. He sees the executive order as a boost for eVTOL and drone growth in defense and public safety markets. Given these tailwinds, it’s a good time to see who owns shares of ACHR.

Now, according to TipRanks’ ownership page, public companies and individual investors own 27.66% of ACHR. They are followed by insiders, other institutional investors, ETFs, and mutual funds at 27.08%, 25.99%, 14.58%, and 4.70%, respectively.
