NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 09:41 EST — Regular session Archer Aviation Inc shares slipped 0.8% to $8.84 in early Thursday trading, giving back some of the previous day’s 5.2% jump.

But when production schedules get tight, physical capacity can quickly become a choke point. Bombardier pitched the Dorval facility as a boost to productivity, citing a need to expand manufacturing capacity amid growing global demand for its business jets.

Critical Metals stock slips despite $1.5B Saudi rare-earth JV term sheet as shareholder sale looms

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:10 EST — Regular session. Shares of Critical Metals Corp slipped roughly 1.3% to $17.70 Thursday morning, despite the Nasdaq-listed miner announcing a new processing venture in Saudi Arabia that it claims could transform its market strategy. The move matters because rare earths — a group of metals essential for magnets in electric motors and certain weapons systems — rely heavily on processing, not just mining. Outside China, supply remains tight, and investors have been quick to factor in any signs of increased capacity. The timing follows a steep climb in the stock, which jumped
