Joby Aviation News Summary

Here are the key news stories impacting Joby Aviation this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Some sell‑side coverage remains supportive — Needham keeps a Buy and there are still buy/hold views among analysts, providing a potential upside narrative if results beat expectations.
• Neutral Sentiment: Scheduled catalyst: Joby will report Q4 and full‑year 2025 results after the close on Feb. 25 and host a 5:00 pm ET webcast — this is a clear near‑term event that can move the stock either direction depending on results and guidance. Earnings release
• Negative Sentiment: Founder/CEO Joeben Bevirt sold a large block (507,182 shares, ~ $5.4M at the time) in early February — a sale of that magnitude by the CEO can be interpreted as reduced insider alignment and creates near‑term selling pressure. Bevirt SEC filing
• Negative Sentiment: Multiple other insiders (including Kate Dehoff, Didier Papadopoulos, Eric Allison and others) disclosed sales this week, some materially reducing individual holdings — the breadth of insider selling amplifies concerns about insider conviction and increases supply. Representative SEC filing (Dehoff)
• Negative Sentiment: Short interest rose sharply in January (up ~33.6% to ~75.3M shares, ≈12.2% of float), signaling increased bearish positioning that can add selling pressure and volatility ahead of the Feb. 25 results (days‑to‑cover ~2.1 on recent volume).
