Wall Street’s View On JOBY

H.C. Wainwright noted that the company's certification milestones are now in the final stages of completion for the upgrade. The firm said that Joby is well-positioned to showcase its electric vertical take-off and landing platform under the recently introduced eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).

The firm said that it expects eIPP activity to commence by mid-2026, "making it an important catalyst for the stock."

JPMorgan said that the company showed "steady execution" in the fourth quarter, but its cash burn is likely to trend higher. The firm said that it believes Joby's longer-term success is priced into the shares and lowered its price target on the stock to $7 from $8. The new price target implies a 32% downside to the last closing price of $10.23.
