Thesis Summary

Joby offers substantial strategic upside from advanced FAA certification progress, a growing flight-test and production fleet, the Toyota manufacturing alliance, Blade's operating platform and the proposed expansion into scaled defense technology through Resonant Sciences. The investment remains highly execution-dependent: Joby still targets its first passengers in 2026, expects significant second-half liquidity consumption, faces certification and manufacturing uncertainty, and is involved in material intellectual-property proceedings with Archer.

This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today.

Bear CaseDownside scenario

$6.0024%

Certification or operational approvals slip, Joby misses its 2026 passenger objective, revenue falls below guidance, or liquidity use exceeds the announced range. Manufacturing complexity, the proposed Resonant acquisition, or adverse developments in the Archer litigation and ITC investigation could further divert capital and management attention from commercial-aircraft certification.

Base CaseCentral scenario

$10.6855%

Matches the consensus mean

Joby makes incremental certification and manufacturing progress, reaches an initial passenger milestone through eIPP or another approved pathway, and reports full-year revenue within its $115 million to $125 million outlook. Cash consumption remains substantial but near guidance, while the proposed Resonant transaction proceeds toward its first-half 2027 closing.

Bull CaseUpside scenario

$18.0021%

Joby begins passenger operations during 2026, converts its strongest reported Stage 5 certification progress into sustained regulatory advancement, delivers additional aircraft, and achieves the upper end of revenue guidance. The Toyota joint venture improves manufacturing quality, productivity and cost, while the Resonant acquisition closes and adds a growing, EBITDA-positive defense platform without disrupting commercial-aircraft execution.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits

Joby reported approximately 75% completion of Stage 4 and its strongest quarterly progress in the fifth and final stage of FAA type certification.
Five aircraft were flying and 12 more were in production at the Q2 2026 update, providing a tangible base for certification, manufacturing and operational learning.
Blade generated $36.2 million of Q2 revenue, while Joby raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $115 million to $125 million.
The Toyota manufacturing joint venture and proposed Resonant acquisition could broaden Joby's production expertise, defense capabilities and sources of revenue.

Key Investment Risks

Commercial eVTOL operations remain dependent on certification, operating approvals, infrastructure and successful execution of the targeted 2026 first-passenger milestone.
Joby expects to use $385 million to $415 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during the second half of 2026.
Scaling from prototype production to commercially viable manufacturing introduces uncertain cost, quality, supply-chain and utilization outcomes.
The proposed $500 million Resonant acquisition introduces closing, integration, capital-allocation and management-focus risks.
The Archer litigation and ITC investigation create intellectual-property uncertainty, including a requested exclusion order covering certain imported aircraft, power systems and components.

All scenarios are estimates and subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
