Guidance/ Updates
No formal financial guidance — business remains in pre-revenue milestone phase
This quarter showcased operational progress — FAA cert, Dubai test flights, defense contracts — but investors wanted more tangible revenue clarity. With EPS missing by a wide margin and no material new commercial deals announced, JOBY’s red-hot YTD rally ran out of fuel post-print.
“Regulatory progress is unlocking global access. Our commercialization strategy is unfolding, and we’re scaling production to meet real demand.”
— JoeBen Bevirt, CEO
The team emphasized production ramp (Marina/Dayton), Blade acquisition, Dubai success, and DoD collaboration — but avoided putting dates on initial passenger service.
Earnings In and Joby Missed the Mark
While Joby hit impressive operational milestones this quarter — including Dubai test flights, FAA certification progress, and the Blade acquisition — the sharp EPS miss and minimal revenue signal continued distance from commercial scale. The market’s reaction reflects fatigue with milestone-only updates amid pre-revenue status.
| Metric | Actual | Estimate | Beat/Miss |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPS | –$0.41 | –$0.20 | ❌ Miss |
| Revenue | $15,000 | $59,600 | ❌ Miss |
Joby Aviation is Down 3% Today
It’s a good day for tech stocks in general; the Nasdaq is up 1.2%. Yet, shares of Joby Aviation are down 3.1%.
It’s worth noting that Archer Aviation is also down about 3.9%, so it might be money moving out of pre-revenue companies in the space. We’ll see if the drop today is just a blip or something concerning before the company announces earnings tonight.
How JOBY Performed After Past Quarters
JOBY has missed EPS estimates in all four prior quarters, but price reaction has generally been positive. The stock tends to move on regulatory and milestone updates rather than financials.
| Quarter | EPS Surprise | 1-Day Move | 7-Day Move | 14-Day Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | –7.05% | +3.58% | +15.11% | +32.71% |
| Q4 2024 | –0.76% | +0.75% | –1.19% | –3.13% |
