Archer Aviation Inc carries a Smart Value Score of 28/100 (Grade F), which we rate Strong Sell. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $6.64 against the $5.59 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Archer Aviation Inc's growth. The Strong Sell rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $10.50, about 87.8% above the current $5.59. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $6.64, a -5.0% margin of safety versus today's $5.59. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.

Archer Aviation Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.90M. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.

Archer Aviation Inc's Altman Z-Score is 3.85, which places it in the safe zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
