Background on Archer Aviation, Inc.
Archer, headquartered in San Jose, California, specializes in the creation of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft designed for deployment in urban air mobility networks.
The Securities Fraud Claims
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions regarding Archer’s business, operations, and prospects, including that: (i) Archer relied on heavily edited videos of earlier flights to exaggerate the amount of flight testing it had actually performed and the sophistication of its eVTOL aircraft; (ii) Archer had misrepresented the nature and profitability of its business partnerships; (iii) Archer was unlikely to secure FAA certification within the timeframe it had represented to investors, thereby delaying the start of mass production of its aircraft for commercial sales; (iv) accordingly, Archer overstated its financial position and/or prospects; and (v) the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to subject Archer to significant financial and/or reputational harm.
On August 16, 2023, Grizzly Research released a report on Archer the “Grizzly Report”) before the market opened. The report made various allegations against Archer, including that the company uses heavily edited videos of past flights to misrepresent the amount of flight testing they have done and the sophistication of their eVTOL aircraft. In addition, the Grizzly Report stated that former Archer employees and businesses near their flight-testing facilities reported that Archer conducts far fewer flights than they claimed. Finally, the Grizzly Report alleged that Archer has misrepresented the timelines for when their San Jose, California lab and manufacturing facility will become operational and when they will secure FAA certification for their prototype aircraft. On this news, Archer’s stock price fell $0.41 per share, or 6.46%, to close at $5.94 per share on August 16, 2023.
