G E having a melt down that puts RR's problems backstage.

[jackdaw4243] 21/11/2018 17:08

RR have recently regraded all the managers and 20% of them are getting pay rise and improved benefits, what happens to the rest I don't know, still employed I suppose,

[careful] 10/11/2018 16:06

more turbine corrosion problems reported.
this time the Trent 700.
one of the disadvantages of a large installed base.

Disappointing, these problems in hostile environments have been solved in the past.
Turbine blade cooling/corrosion is complex, hope they have not thrown the 'baby out with the bathwater' and retired those with the know how and experience too early.

Bright young things have invariably not been round the block often enough to avoid such problems.

[careful] 09/11/2018 12:15

when was the ex.divi date?

[jackdaw4243] 03/11/2018 18:16

RR
The top lot have just re organised the rationalisation, turkeys and Christmas.

Engineers do not make good managers as a general rule and RR have too many in management roles.

[rayrac] 27/10/2018 15:50

Badly managed company! Top lot should be kicked out.

And then sort the engineers out! So much for stringent testing?

“We would extrapolate that the financial impact on Rolls will be compensation payments to Airbus and the airlines, and a build-up of inventory into the year-end,” wrote Robert Stallard, analyst at Vertical Research Partners.

“The P&L [profit and loss] impact could ironically be positive, as the Trent 7000 OE [original equipment] deliveries will be loss making, with the returns coming from the after-market.”

[minerve] 26/10/2018 13:22

OK, they have released an RNS folks.

[sbs] 26/10/2018 12:53

Picked up some more today too.

[minerve] 26/10/2018 12:45

A have a very large long-term holding in RR. All these issues are really noise. Great if you can take opportunity to add. If the share drops much lower I will add at the levels I bought previously.

Well done careful. I am pleased for you on those below 800 buys.

[careful] 26/10/2018 12:34

a rare success today.
I bought 2 lots, the first at 792, the second at 753.
very proud of the second one.
(helps ease the pain of holding WPP)

I thought that a delay in delivery was not a serious setback in a long term business.
RR. are becoming volatile.
Things looked rosy a few months ago, around £11 after an upbeat statement from CEO.

[cardiffian] 26/10/2018 12:02

I was waiting for 800 to top up so this to me is an opportunity. im in 500 at 784.

[dafrog] 26/10/2018 12:01

Need to work some overtime.

[rb1206] 26/10/2018 11:53

- A330NEO delays to cause financial headwind this year.

Looks like little warning...imho. Hence the drop.

[careful] 26/10/2018 11:42

down 13% in a few minutes and not a word on this thread.

[rb1206] 26/10/2018 11:42

$RR.UK Reportedly tells staff that company its far short of engines for new Airbus A330neo jet (Rolls Royce Holdings Plc)
To deliver only 10 of 30 targeted engines by Oct 31st
- A330NEO delays to cause financial headwind this year

[careful] 26/10/2018 11:30

what has caused todays sudden fall?

[wad collector] 25/10/2018 12:35

I belatedly note tipped as buy by Questor 2 weeks ago.

[grahamburn] 23/10/2018 14:22

Don't forget the issues with Saudi Arabia that have potentially significant implications for this - and other - UK defence companies.

[sowsear] 23/10/2018 13:04

What's causing the tumble? Still the Engine troubles raised in September? Any sign of an upswing? The Kuwait order-related rally didn't last long.

[wad collector] 23/10/2018 10:20

Impressively poor chart , like most of my portfolio. We have now reached the lowest end of the Brokers targets. All still looks doom and gloom!
