Investors sell Joby stock after 160% six-month rally
Joby Aviation, Inc. (JOBY) shares fell nearly 8% on Tuesday as investors took profits following a 160% six-month rally and concerns over potential stock dilution from the company’s $500 million capital raise.
Although JOBY started the week strong with an 11% gain on Monday, the bullish momentum quickly faded, and the eVTOL manufacturer’s stock traded below $16 during Tuesday’s session.

The decline may have been driven by insider selling, as top executives trimmed their holdings in the second quarter while institutional investors increased their stakes, betting on the growth potential of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations.
Analysts note that the prior rally appeared overheated, while the new share offering — totaling approximately $514 million — raised concerns about share dilution.
The $16.85 offering price, roughly 11% below the previous closing price, also signaled possible weakness, prompting caution among investors.
Retail investors reduce exposure
Additional selling pressure came from uncertainty surrounding Joby’s core operations, including the certification timeline and commercial flight launch, which reduced investor confidence at current valuations.
“The sharp decline in JOBY stock reflects investor concerns over short-term dilution and inflated expectations. Unless the company provides clearer signals on certification progress or revenue growth, a further drop below $15 seems likely,” said analyst Anton Kharitonov.
From a technical perspective, most indicators suggest a bearish bias. The 14-day RSI is around 34, indicating oversold conditions and weak momentum.The MACD remains below the signal line, reinforcing a sell signal, while most short- and mid-term moving averages (5-, 10-, 20-, and 50-day) show declining strength.
Despite the current weakness, the 50-day MA remains above the 200-day MA — a “golden cross” — which still suggests long-term bullish potential for the stock.
