Virgin Galactic's stock surged after a U.S. federal court granted preliminary approval for a settlement resolving two long-running shareholder derivative lawsuits. The settlement involves a $2.75 million payment from the company's insurers, with Virgin Galactic retaining half. This legal clarity has lifted a major overhang, attracting momentum buyers and pushing the stock up over 19% in regular trading and an additional 14.5% after hours. The resolution is expected to dismiss all related claims once final approval is given, with current and former company officers denying any wrongdoing.
