Baystreet - Wed Feb 28, 8:02AM CST
Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) is a California-based company that is focused on the development, manufacture, and operation of spaceships and related technologies for conducting commercial human spaceflight and flying commercial research and development payloads into space.
Shares of Virgin Galactic jumped 6.74% on Tuesday, February 27. This occurred after the company announced its final batch of earnings for the previous fiscal year.

This company unveiled its fourth quarter (Q4) and full-year fiscal 2023 earnings on February 27, 2024. In Q4 FY2023, Virgin Galactic reported a strong cash position of $982 million.
