On July 15, Joby Aviation rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at approximately $7.90/share, with turnover of $351 million. The stock rebounded strongly from its recent 52-week low near $7.43.
The rally is attributed to sustained market optimism following Joby Aviation's formal shareholder agreement with Toyota Motor Corporation to establish a joint venture named JTAMPC, tasked with mass-producing the S4 series electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. According to SEC filings, Toyota holds a 51% stake and Joby holds 49%. The board consists of five directors, with Toyota appointing three and Joby appointing two. Under the arrangement, Joby grants JTAMPC exclusive manufacturing rights for the S4 model along with related intellectual property, while Toyota provides a royalty-free license for jointly developed manufacturing IP. Initial efforts will focus on building production systems, including prototype manufacturing for certification review, improving productivity, quality control, and cost management, while preparing capacity expansion for future demand growth.
