Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) stock is on the move Tuesday following a short report against one of the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) company’s rivals.

That short report comes from Kerrisdale Capital and targets Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY). This saw JOBY stock take a beating this morning and also dragged down other companies in the sector. ACHR stock was among them but has already recovered from that dip.

Kerrisdale Capital makes some major allegations against JOBY in its short report. The following is a quick highlight it sent out in an X post:

“Joby promises 100-mile range, 10k battery cycle life, and low cost. Investors will find out that’s IMPOSSIBLE. Accounting for reserve requirements, cutting edge Li batteries will enable 35 miles of range and a couple thousand charge cycles, at best.”

What This Means for ACHR Stock

Considering ACHR and JOBY are in the same market, it makes sense that a short report against one would affect another. However, neither stock remained down for long on Tuesday morning following the short report’s release.

As of Tuesday morning, shares of ACHR stock have more than recovered, with the company’s shares up 5% today. On that same note, shares of JOBY stock have also regained any lost ground today and are currently up 1.3% this morning.
