Is this U.S.-China selloff a buy? A top Wall Street voice weighs in
Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has maintained its Neutral rating on Joby Aviation Inc (NYSE:JOBY), according to a research note published Monday. The company, currently valued at nearly $12 billion and trading at 13.3 times book value, appears overvalued according to InvestingPro analysis.
The firm’s analyst Andres Sheppard highlighted Joby’s confirmation that it plans to participate in the White House’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) program.
Joby Aviation has demonstrated its readiness for the program with over 40,000 miles of flight testing and approximately 600 flights completed this year, according to management statements cited in the report.
Cantor Fitzgerald views the White House initiative as beneficial to the entire eVTOL industry, particularly for companies including Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, Beta Technologies, and Eve Holding, which are planning to increase test flights in the United States.
The research firm expects the federal program will help accelerate the deployment of eVTOL aircraft throughout the United States market.
In other recent news, Joby Aviation has made significant strides in its operations and partnerships. The company announced its participation in the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, aiming to accelerate the deployment of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. This initiative, backed by a Presidential Executive Order, seeks to enable mature eVTOL aircraft to commence operations before full FAA certification is achieved. Additionally, Joby Aviation plans to integrate Blade’s air mobility services into the Uber app by next year, following its acquisition of Blade’s passenger business. This integration will allow Uber users to book flights through the app, expanding access to Blade’s routes in New York and Southern Europe.
Moreover, Joby Aviation recently completed the first piloted eVTOL flight between two public airports in the U.S., covering 10 nautical miles from Marina to Monterey in California. The company also demonstrated its autonomous flight technology in a military exercise, logging over 7,000 miles and 40 flight hours with its Superpilot technology. These developments highlight Joby Aviation’s ongoing efforts to enhance its capabilities and broaden its market presence.
