Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR) shares plummeted 5.03% in Thursday's intraday trading session, despite the company receiving a certificate of occupancy for its high-volume manufacturing facility in Covington, Georgia.
The news of Archer Aviation securing the occupancy certificate for the Arc facility, which is connected to the Covington Municipal Airport, was initially seen as a positive development. The company stated that tooling load-in is already underway, paving the way for the planned start of initial production at the facility early in 2025.
However, investors seemingly reacted negatively to the news, causing Archer Aviation's stock to experience a significant decline. The reasons behind this negative sentiment are not entirely clear, as the occupancy certificate marks a crucial milestone in Archer's plans to scale up production of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
