A recent market analysis highlights Boeing, Strata Critical Medical Inc, Vertical Aerospace, and Joby Aviation as central figures in this evolving landscape.

WealthPlan Investment Management LLC has increased its stake in The Boeing Company by 21.9%, acquiring 613 additional shares. This move brings the fund’s total Boeing holdings to 3,407 shares, valued at $714,000.
