CNBC's “Halftime Report” team details their top stocks and final trades.

Archer Aviation (ACHR 1.83%) is building the future of urban air mobility with its Midnight aircraft, Federal Aviation Administration milestones, and high-profile partnerships. With Wall Street eyeing an $18 target -- nearly double today's price -- Archer could be one of the most exciting growth stories in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) space.

SALINAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $ACHR #Archer--Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) announced today that it plans to conduct public flights of its all-electric Midnight aircraft on Oct. 4-5 at the 2025 California International Air Show in Salinas, California. The Salinas Municipal Airport is home to Archer's test flight facility, where the company has been flying its eVTOL aircraft since 2021. Archer plans to have nearly 1,000 team members in attendance from its engineering, operations and flight test teams to cele.

Archer Aviation (ACHR -0.78%) has seen its stock price rise around 200% over the past year. But the stock has also suffered through two drawdowns of 30% or more over that span, and is currently in a price pullback.

Archer Aviation remains a compelling buy despite recent volatility, underpinned by strong liquidity, operational milestones, and a $6 billion order book. ACHR's Q2 losses and high R&D expenses reflect aggressive progress toward FAA certification and manufacturing ramp-up, not fundamental weakness. Key catalysts include a $500M Osaka deal, U.S. regulatory tailwinds, and strategic defense acquisitions positioning ACHR for long-term growth.

Archer Aviation Inc. is upgraded to a Buy as commercialization nears, with strong production progress and supportive U.S. policy tailwinds. ACHR's technological milestones, including record-breaking Midnight aircraft flights, reinforce its leadership and readiness for commercial deployment. Despite recent shareholder dilution, ACHR's cash position is robust, and further dilution risk is low as revenue generation approaches.

Archer's $1.7B liquidity provides runway to fund FAA certification, UAE commercialization, and a scale-up toward 50+ annual aircraft by 2026. FAA Type Inspection Authorization and U.S. eIPP trial flights set the stage for commercial service launches beginning in late 2025. Osaka partnership with Soracle, JAL, and Sumitomo integrates Midnight into Japan's urban mobility ecosystem ahead of Expo 2025 and future Asian expansion.

ACHR and EVEX are racing ahead in the eVTOL market, with big partnerships, new milestones, and investor interest fueling 2025 momentum.

Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) has announced that its partner, Soracle, a joint venture between Japan Airlines and Sumitomo, will lead the rollout of air taxi services in Osaka. Soracle plans to use Archer's Midnight aircraft as its main fleet, working with local governments to create the regulatory and operational framework for quiet, sustainable flights across the Kansai region.
