Archer Aviation Stock Plummets as Tesla Partnership Hopes Fizzle
Archer Aviation shares tumbled over 10% in early trading as investors digested the reality that Tesla's latest announcement contained no aviation-related developments. The eVTOL manufacturer's stock had surged yesterday on speculative social media posts suggesting a potential collaboration with Elon Musk's automaker.
Market enthusiasm evaporated when Tesla revealed only new EV models, dashing hopes for a breakthrough in personal air transportation. Archer's volatility highlights the speculative nature of emerging mobility sectors, where investor sentiment swings violently on rumor versus reality.
