I have been building underlying stock positions for these following four eVTOL companies: JOBY, ARCH, EVTL, HOVR. I just love the diverse applications of these platforms, and wanted a small allocation of my portfolio to be a part of this sector.
I am considering LEAPS into these stocks as well, and wanted to hear what others have done.
From my understanding, JOBY may complete FAA certification by end of 2026, ARCH next behind (I've seen ranges from late 2026 to analysts projecting full certification as late as 2028); EVTL is seeking EASA certification, which is delayed probably into 2027-beyond, and HOVR is going to be a couple years behind.
HOVR lacks LEAP options to trade for, and EVTL only has January 2027 LEAPS, which may be too early for that company to run.
I am eyeing the $10 and $15 strikes for 01/2027 and $10 strikes for 01/2028 for JOBY; and the $7 & 10 strikes for 01/2027 & 01/2028 for ARCH.
