Joby Aviation Hits $890M Trading Volume Ranking 100th as eVTOL Sector Gains Momentum Amid Cautious Liquidity

On September 15, 2025, , ranking 100th among all listed stocks. , reflecting modest gains amid market activity.

Recent developments highlight strategic positioning in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) sector. Joby’s progress in regulatory approvals and infrastructure partnerships has drawn investor attention, particularly as the company advances its commercialization timeline. Analysts note that operational milestones, such as test flight completions and manufacturing capacity updates, remain critical near-term catalysts for price movement.

Market participants are also monitoring investor sentiment shifts tied to broader sector dynamics. While eVTOL stocks face valuation skepticism due to unproven revenue models, Joby’s focus on urban air mobility partnerships and cost-optimization strategies differentiates it from peers. However, liquidity constraints—evidenced by its mid-tier trading volume—suggest retail and institutional participation remains cautious.

To run this strategy rigorously I need to nail down a few practical details first: 1. Universe definition • “All stocks” can mean NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX (≈7 000 tickers). • Pulling and ranking daily volume for every symbol is doable, but (a) it’s data-heavy and (b) a lot of micro-caps would slip in. • Common practice is to restrict the universe (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, or stocks above a certain average dollar volume). 2. Pricing convention • Enter at next day’s open and exit at that day’s close (classic 1-day holding period)? • Or enter/exit at the same day’s close (close-to-next-close)? 3. Weighting & transaction costs • Equal-weight (each of the 500 names gets 0.2 % of the portfolio)? • Should we include commissions and a bid-ask slippage assumption? 4. Exchange & currency • Is the target market U.S. only, or do you want a global universe? Let me know your preferences (especially universe and price convention). Once they’re set, I’ll generate a retrieval plan, pull the required data, and run the back-test.
