Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR) saw its stock surge 5.70% in Monday's trading session, outperforming the broader market.
The rally came after the electric aircraft startup announced a successful $301.8 million funding round led by institutional investors including BlackRock. This capital injection brings Archer's total liquidity to approximately $1 billion, providing a strong financial runway to accelerate development of its hybrid aircraft platform for the defense market and other applications.
Investors cheered the news, viewing the sizable funding commitment as a vote of confidence in Archer's technology and future growth prospects. With abundant capital to execute its product roadmap, the company appears well-positioned to capture opportunities in the emerging urban air mobility market.
