Joby Aviation's Upcoming Earnings Report on August 5 Could Impact the Stock Significantly
Joby Aviation (JOBY) is set to report its second-quarter earnings after market close on August 5, 2026. The stock has declined by about 50% in 2026 as investor interest in eVTOL stocks waned following a more bullish period in 2025. A key concern remains the company's need for FAA type certification before it can scale its business. Analysts expect another loss, with an estimated $0.21 per share. The stock could face downward pressure if Joby provides vague or delayed updates on FAA progress. Despite recent positive developments—such as a successful eVTOL flight in New York City and partnerships with Toyota and Virgin Atlantic—the lack of concrete regulatory milestones remains the biggest risk to its valuation. A meaningful certification update would likely drive significant gains, similar to last quarter's 21% surge following an earnings beat. Joby currently trades at around $7.50 per share after peaking above $12 in May.
