Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) | JOBY Price Prediction reports Q4 2025 results after the bell tonight, and investors should forget everything else on the income statement but cash balance.
24/7 Wall St. covered Joby’s Q3 results back in November, but tonight’s update deserves a closer look at the one metric keeping this company alive.
The Runway Is the Business
At its core, Joby is a pre-revenue company. Its Q3 2025 revenue was $15,000. Not $15 million; $15,000. That is not a business generating income. That is a company spending its way toward a future product that does not yet commercially exist.
What Joby is actually selling right now is the promise of FAA certification and the eVTOL market that comes with it. To get there, it burns through roughly $475 million per year, based on a Q3 free cash flow of -$118.7 million. That is the title’s $500 million figure, and it is not an exaggeration.
At the end of Q3, Joby had $978.1 million in cash and investments. At current burn, that is roughly two years of runway. Two years to certify an aircraft, stand up commercial operations, and begin generating real revenue before the lights go out.
Why Tonight’s Number Changes Everything
That $978 million figure is already three months old. A lot can happen in a quarter when you are spending north of $100 million every 90 days.
The question tonight is simple: did the cash balance hold, grow (via another equity raise), or shrink faster than expected? Each answer tells a very different story.
If cash has held steady or increased, Joby likely tapped capital markets again. That is not necessarily bad news. The company raised approximately $576 million via equity offering in 2025, proving institutional investors are still willing to fund the vision. But every new raise dilutes existing shareholders, and the stock is already down roughly 33% from its Q3 filing price of $15.05, sitting near $9.84 as of this morning.
If cash has declined meaningfully without a new raise, the runway math tightens: Two years becomes 18 months, and 18 months becomes a cliff.
CEO JoeBen Bevirt set the tone heading into tonight’s report:
“The level of technological and regulatory progress we’re seeing today is unprecedented. It’s matched by an incredible commitment to aerial innovation at both the state and federal level and I’ve never been more excited about the company and technologies we are building.”
That is the language of a founder who believes. But belief does not pay engineers. Cash does.
What the Signal Looks Like
Joby has made real operational progress. Power-on testing of FAA-conforming aircraft began in 2025. Over 600 flights were conducted. Propeller blade production started in Ohio, and the company added more than 100 manufacturing roles. The White House is publicly supportive of eVTOL integration. These are not nothing.
But operational milestones do not extend runway. Capital does. And with 142 recent insider transactions trending toward net selling, the market is asking hard questions about timing.

Tonight, the cash balance will be the most closely watched metric among analysts tracking Joby’s path to commercialization. It will indicate whether the company remains on its stated timeline or whether additional capital raises may be on the horizon. Investors and analysts will be parsing that single line on the balance sheet closely.
