Eve Holding, Inc. EVEX

Joby Aviation (JOBY) stock's 14.5% drop in the month to September 28 came without a company setback. Peers Archer Aviation and Eve fell too. A holder may put that down to the industry, but is Joby Aviation sturdier than it was when past shocks hit.

A $10,000 holding in Joby Aviation (JOBY) a year ago is now worth about $3,940. The S&P 500 returned 16.5% over the same year. Even after that fall, Joby’s valuation reflects market expectations for electric air taxis that have not yet entered commercial passenger service. Is buying Joby now too early, before those air taxis carry their first passengers.

Joby Aviation (JOBY) stock has lost about 54% over the past twelve months, and trades about 68% below its 52-week high. Its electric air taxi is still in the final stage of type certification. But the part of the company that could re-rate the stock first is already carrying paying passengers.

Joby Aviation (JOBY) stock has fallen 49.2% over the trailing twelve months to about $6.84, about 65% below its 52-week high. The shares change hands at 57.0 times sales, against 3.2 for the S&P 500. That multiple is accurate. It also measures a passenger brokerage business that represents a transitional step rather than the long-term eVTOL manufacturing thesis driving the stock's valuation.

Joby Aviation (JOBY) trades near $6.82, after falling 49% over the past twelve months while the S&P 500 returned 20.5%. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook and the shares kept sliding. The market is repricing the bill that comes before the first paying passenger in one of its own aircraft.

Customers are not the problem here; the pace at which finished aircraft leave the line, against a rising cash burn, is.

Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31) and RV Connex Co., Ltd., a leading Thai engineering and aerospace company, are signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together on regulatory development that will help shape Thailand's Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry.

Archer's post-earnings rally was driven by a dual catalyst: an all-stock acquisition of three Boeing units and a Q2 revenue beat of over 150.

The sales behind its multiple come from the passenger network it acquired, while the electric air taxi at the center of the story is still working through its final certification stage.

A passenger network it bought a year ago is seeing more demand than it has aircraft to fly, and every aircraft off the production line is one management says it can monetize.
