JOBY Plummets 5.02% as Daily Volume Slides to 178th Amid Production and Regulatory Hurdles

On October 10, 2025, Joby Aviation (JOBY) closed with a 5.02% decline, trading at a daily volume of $740 million, ranking 178th among active U.S. equities. The drop followed renewed concerns over production delays and regulatory hurdles in its commercial launch timeline.

Analysts noted that recent updates about reduced pre-orders from major partners and unresolved certification challenges with the FAA have pressured investor sentiment. Market participants are closely monitoring the company's ability to meet its 2026 operational targets, which remain critical to its valuation thesis.

For a precise back-test of "buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day," two parameters require clarification: the specific market universe (e.g., NYSE/NASDAQ/AMEX-listed stocks or Russell 3000 constituents) and access to consolidated daily-volume data. Once confirmed, this framework would enable construction of an equal-weighted portfolio turnover schedule from January 3, 2022, to October 10, 2025, with performance metrics and visualizations generated accordingly.
