Joby Aviation stock has given up much of its earlier enthusiasm, with a steep share price decline over the past year sitting alongside valuation checks that currently flag the company as expensive rather than a bargain.

On the one hand, a sizeable cash balance may support Joby Aviation as it works toward eVTOL certification. On the...
