Deep Analysis

Return on Equity (ROE) measures how much profit a company generates for each dollar of shareholders' equity; a negative ROE means the company is losing money relative to the equity invested.

JOBY’s current ROE of -68.0% is far below the Industrials sector median of 12.6%, placing the company in the 11th percentile among sector peers. Year-over-year change is not available due to a lack of prior data, but quarter-over-quarter the ROE worsened by 3.0 percentage points, from -66.0% to -68.0%. A deeply negative ROE combined with a continuing decline points to deteriorating profitability and rising investment risk, with no sign of improvement. This metric directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict, as a persistent, large negative return on equity highlights fundamental operational challenges.
