$24 million in Q1 sales topped forecasts of about $20 million, helping Joby Aviation shares rebound after a steep late-2025 to early-2026 slide.
High losses persisted, but management reiterated 2026 guidance and said it still plans its first commercial launch this year, reinforcing the market's positive reaction.
Joby is also advancing on regulation, having reached the Type Inspection Authorization stage and joined the White House Integration Pilot Program to speed a U.S. passenger-service debut.
That launch, along with a planned Dubai air-taxi rollout, underpins bullish targets near $18 a share, while longer-term optimism rests on an eVTOL market Morgan Stanley estimates could reach $1.5 trillion by 2040.
