Factors Influencing JOBY's Q2 Performance
We expect JOBY's performance in the to-be-reported quarter to have been adversely affected by elevated spending on FAA certification, manufacturing expansion, infrastructure development and commercial launch activities, which are likely to have driven higher operating expenses, wider losses and continued cash burn.
The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and supply-chain disruptions are likely to have weighed on its June-end quarter results. Inflationary pressures and fuel price volatility are also expected to have posed additional headwinds.
