Archer Aviation (ACHR), the electric air taxi developer, will release its Q3 2025 earnings on Thursday, November 6, after the market closes.

Despite the excitement, Archer is still a pre-revenue company, meaning it has yet to generate sales from its operations. This keeps the stock in a high-risk category, even as optimism around the air mobility market continues to grow. It’s important to note that while Archer has advanced in testing and partnerships, it still faces high costs and certification hurdles before earning revenue.
CEO Outlines Path to Commercial Launch
Still, there is some encouraging news for investors. In a recent interview on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily, CEO Adam Goldstein shared updates on Archer’s progress and future plans. He said the company expects to start earning revenue in early 2026, moving from research and testing to its first commercial phase.
Goldstein added that revenue will start small but should grow as Archer’s aircraft enter service and more commercial flights begin.
What to Expect on November 6
Wall Street analysts expect ACHR to report a loss per share of $0.30 for Q3, compared to a loss of $0.29 in the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, analysts project Q3 revenues at $400.00K, according to the TipRanks Analyst Forecasts Page.
Goldstein’s recent remarks have raised investor interest ahead of the earnings report, with many eager to hear how close Archer is to starting commercial operations. Investors will also watch its spending levels, progress toward flight approval, and any timeline updates for the first aircraft deliveries.
