Archer Aviation ( $ACHR+WL -5.02% ) is buying Boeing's ( $BA+WL +0.58% ) Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid subsidiaries, and the price is a piece of itself. At closing, Archer will issue Boeing new stock equal to 19.75% of its shares outstanding just before the deal completes -- which leaves Boeing owning about 16.5% of the company, or about a sixth. The sixth buys a revenue base Archer doesn't have. Insitu, a maker of unmanned military aircraft used by the armed forces of 35 nations, brings more than $200 million of annual revenue -- profitable revenue, Boeing's release notes. Archer's own trailing-12-month revenue is $6.9 million.

eVTOL and aerospace consolidation
A tiny flying car company with almost no sales is buying massive aerospace businesses from Boeing using its own stock. Investors care because this suddenly turns a speculative startup into a company with hundreds of millions in actual revenue and a major aerospace partner.
What changed
Archer Aviation is issuing new shares to buy Boeing's Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid subsidiaries, drastically boosting its revenue base while diluting current shareholders.
Who wins / who loses
Archer shareholders and Boeing win by scaling technology and consolidating the eVTOL/drone space, while existing Archer investors face immediate equity dilution.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few months.
