Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) is aiming to build a business around urban mobility. At the heart of this vision is its electric vertical takeoff and landing<\/a> (eVTOL) aircraft — “Midnight” — which can carry four passengers over congested cities in significantly less time than traditional ground-based travel.<\/p>\n

It’s an intriguing idea, but will it catch on? Will flying taxis transform pre-revenue, cash-burning, stock-diluting Archer into a multi-billion-dollar business? Will that, in turn, make today’s $6 Archer stock a path to millions for long-term investors?<\/p>\n

Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire?\u00a0Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an “Indispensable Monopoly” providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n

As of today, April 22, Archer Aviation<\/a> trades at about $6 a share and carries a roughly $4.5 billion market capitalization. Archer hasn’t traded above $8 a share since late January, even though it’s made some progress on its certification timeline.<\/p>\n

Assuming no stock splits or dilutions (unlikely, but for the sake of example), a $10,000 investment in Archer at today’s price would need a 100x gain to reach $1 million. That, in turn, would require Archer’s market capitalization to grow to about $450 billion — about 75 times its current $6 billion backlog.<\/p>\n

A larger upfront investment lowers the required return multiple. For example, turning a $25,000 investment into $1 million would require a 40x gain (implying a $180 billion market cap), whereas a $50,000 investment would need a 20x gain ($90 billion market cap).<\/p>\n

These are just back-of-the-envelope calculations. In reality, the company’s valuation would likely need to be higher to turn your initial investment into $1 million, especially if Archer continues issuing new shares to raise capital. It’s not unusual for start-ups like Archer to issue new shares, but it does complicate the math: As the share count rises, each share represents a smaller slice of the company, therefore requiring more overall growth to reach $1 million.<\/p>\n

For Archer to make you a millionaire, it has to prove multiple things at once.<\/p>\n

Obviously, it has to clear the regulatory gate and start putting paying passengers in the air. That’s a first step, but it probably won’t push Archer’s market cap into the territory needed to turn a sizable investment into a million.<\/p>\n

Story Continues <\/p>\n

For Archer’s story to become a success, it needs demand for eVTOLs. No theatrics, no customers trying the air taxi once for novelty, then never again — return customers who can’t remember what life was like without flying taxis.<\/p>\n

Since Archer plans to sell aircraft directly, it must also demonstrate that its manufacturing facility in Georgia can produce the Midnight at scale and at a viable cost. That remains uncertain, as it\u2019s still early to determine how much Archer can realistically earn once operating expenses are included.<\/p>\n

These things would all make Archer a compelling business, yet they still wouldn’t likely push Archer stock into millionaire-making territory. For that to happen, Archer would need to beat Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) to become the face of air taxi transportation. Not only that, it would also need to become the go-to manufacturer of eVTOLs for military and defense purposes, which would diversify its business.<\/p>\n

That, however, would be an extreme scenario, and Archer today is still just a speculative concept. It’s not a guaranteed ticket to millions, but success in its underlying business could yield a sizable gain over the long run.<\/p>\n
