What does the trend tell you?
Short interest has been markedly higher. It peaked at 18.6% on Jun 28, 2026 and now stands at 14.1% — a fall of 4.5 percentage points. Over the last month it has been fairly stable.

This is how shorting works: whoever shorts has borrowed the share and sold it, and to close the position again they must buy the share back. The fall from the peak therefore means that those who bet on a falling price in Archer Aviation have bought shares back and closed their positions. It is worth watching whether the curve stays there or turns again. That is not in itself a signal about what the price will do — we cannot predict the market, and short interest is only one number among many. But it does say something about what the large players are doing.
The stock has a very high share of short selling. Between 10-20% of the freely traded shares are sold short, which points to considerable bearish sentiment. A positive earnings report or unexpectedly good news can trigger a short squeeze with sharp price gains.

What does this mean for you as an investor?
A short interest of 14.1% means that 14.1% of the freely traded shares in Archer Aviation have been borrowed and sold by investors betting on falling prices. On positive surprises (e.g. a strong earnings report), short sellers can be forced to buy back shares quickly to close their positions, which can cause a short squeeze with sharp price gains in a short time.

The next potential catalyst is the earnings report on Nov 5, 2026. With a short interest of 14.1%, the report can trigger considerable volatility.

Short interest comes from our data provider EODHD. The figure is reported about twice a month; we check it every trading day.
