Joby Aviation (NASDAQ: JOBY) Chief Financial Officer Rodrigo Brumana reported a small sale of common stock on April 8, 2026. According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Brumana disposed of 566 shares at $8.87 per share, bringing the transaction total to $5,020. The filing states the sale was executed to satisfy taxes owed upon the release and settlement of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
The sale occurred marginally above the stock's then-current trading price of $8.29. Over the past six months the shares have declined roughly 50% from prior levels, reflecting notable volatility in the company's market valuation.
The Form 4 also records another related move by Brumana earlier in the week. On April 7 he exercised options on 1,553 shares of common stock at a strike price of $0. Following the exercise and the subsequent sale to cover RSU-related tax obligations, Brumana's direct holdings stand at 7,213 shares of Joby Aviation.
Independent analysis cited in the filing environment indicates InvestingPro views the stock as trading near its Fair Value.

Beyond insider activity, Joby has reported a series of operational and regulatory developments. The company has begun flight testing its first aircraft constructed to Federal Aviation Administration specifications for Type Inspection Authorization. The aircraft, registered N547JX, is conducting initial test activity at Joby’s Marina, California facility. The company said FAA pilots are expected to perform further testing later in the year.
Joby has also completed demonstration flights across the San Francisco Bay Area with its electric vertical take-off and landing - eVTOL - aircraft, showcasing the platform in regional airspace. In parallel, Joby announced a partnership with Air Space Intelligence to integrate electric air taxis into the U.S. National Airspace System. That agreement centers on optimizing flight operations through ASI’s Flyways AI platform.
Market analysts have reflected these operational steps in their recommendations. Canaccord Genuity continues to carry a Hold rating on Joby with a price target of $15.50, while H.C. Wainwright has reiterated a Buy rating and set a $18.00 price target. Both firms point to the company’s testing progress and regulatory milestones as factors informing their view.
These milestones are being presented as part of Joby’s 2026 Electric Skies Tour, which the company intends to take to multiple cities across the United States. The insider sale, modest in size, aligns with common executive actions to settle tax liabilities tied to equity compensation and does not change the publicly reported share count held directly by the CFO.
