We recently compiled a list of the Jim Cramer Discussed These 15 Stocks Recently. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) stands against the other stocks.
Jim Cramer opened Monday’s Mad Money episode with the observation that CEOs gathered at the NFL’s Super Bowl game weren’t just there for football. They were there to talk business, politics, and the economy. According to Cramer, their conversations revealed what’s truly shaping corporate America’s mindset right now, with the biggest one having to do with the current U.S. President:
“Nobody can figure out Donald Trump. These CEOs are baffled… They like that he’s attacking the federal bureaucracy, but they don’t understand why Elon Musk is wasting time on the small stuff.”
He also noticed that they appear more relaxed, confident and bullish under the new regime, compared to the previous one under Biden.
“There’s been a shocking amount of new business going on… CEOs no longer feel like the government is out to get them. Even Democratic donors can’t believe how disrespected they were by the Biden White House.”
He also pointed out that all CEOs think Wall Street valuations are stretched, although Cramer is still bullish.
“They almost all think the stock market’s too high, but their own stocks are too low. When I tell them the market’s actually undervalued and I like their stocks, they nod. But they think I’m a dreamer.”
Finally, of course, the big theme was around Trump’s tariffs and their impact on the markets.
“They all hate Trump’s tariff plans. These CEOs think they’re disorganized, don’t make sense, won’t raise money, and are terrible for business. They’re free traders at heart and totally baffled by Trump’s agenda.”

When a caller asked about adding Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) to his son’s stock portfolio, Cramer gave a cautious but optimistic green light:
“Here’s the deal, because you said it’s for your son, I’m going to okay it. Why? Because strange things happen. A lot of people think Archer’s a little out there, like it’s ‘Lost in Space.’ But they just received FAA certification for a Public Training Academy. Maybe this thing is for real. If it’s for your boy, fine. He’s got his whole life ahead of him. Don’t put your money in, put his.”
Archer Aviation focuses on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, aiming to revolutionize urban air mobility. The FAA certification is a big milestone in its path toward commercial operations.
While Cramer’s endorsement was reserved, he acknowledged Archer’s progress, suggesting it might be worth the risk for younger investors with time on their side.
