Analysis · TM · Manufacturing
A 13F filing from Toyota reveals two large, previously undisclosed equity positions: an $840 million stake in Grab Holdings and a combined $1.15 billion stake in Joby Aviation. Together, these holdings total nearly $2 billion and signal deepening strategic bets on mobility and air-taxi technology. The Grab stake aligns with the company's push into Southeast Asian ride-hailing and fintech, while the Joby investment underscores its commitment to electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. For a company that just completed a massive share buyback and is navigating a profit recovery, these positions show capital is also being deployed into future mobility platforms.
