Joby Aviation Stock Plummets Amid Macroeconomic Concerns
Joby Aviation (JOBY) shares tumbled 10.1% last week as investors retreated from growth stocks amid inflationary pressures and AI valuation concerns. The eVTOL company's stock mirrored broader market trends, with early-week declines triggered by July's Producer Price Index data suggesting persistent inflation risks.
A mid-week MIT study revealing 95% of businesses fail to monetize AI investments further dampened sentiment. Friday brought partial recovery after favorable interest rate developments, highlighting the stock's sensitivity to macroeconomic shifts. Risk-off sentiment dominated trading sessions, particularly affecting speculative growth sectors like electric air mobility.
