Joby Aviation’s 13% stock surge on Friday, triggered by the UK’s new eVTOL roadmap, captured headlines but belies the company’s true growth trajectory.

With a fortified balance sheet and advanced certification progress, Joby is positioned to dominate a projected $1 trillion urban air mobility market.
