Wow , happily eat my words from last week about it never seeming to get to £6! Hurrah for Donald.
I am selling some ; hard to believe Trump will do anything that he has said . He might abolish the US military and turn the whole nation into a Hippy enclave.
601 was too much to resist.

Hold Raytheon and Lockheed both up 8% at the moment.

[philanderer] 09/11/2016 13:56

Good day for defence .. ULE + 6% as well

I think the Mexican wall won't be built; it will consist of swarming drones assembled by ex steel workers.

[chiefbrody] 09/11/2016 08:16

Go Trump :-)

[babbler] 09/11/2016 08:08

All time high thanks to trump.

[chiefbrody] 08/11/2016 12:42

Aye. If only we didn't have stupidly low interest rates. Still, if it keeps the zombies from deaths door....

[philo124] 08/11/2016 11:03

£6.1Bn.

[philanderer] 08/11/2016 10:56

It`d be a different story without that pension deficit overhang ;-)

[wad collector] 08/11/2016 08:42

Agree it is not unreasonable. Just doesn't seem to happen!

[chiefbrody] 07/11/2016 22:46

Are we finally going to break (and hold) 550p....600p doesn't seem unreasonable. Given that eps will be in the 40p range.

[philo124] 07/11/2016 20:46

Very Good.

Afternoon guys, looking good today :-)

...BAE Systems has confirmed that the first steel will be cut on the Royal Navy’s Type 26 Global Combat Ships in Glasgow in summer 2017, subject to final contract negotiations with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD)

[philo124] 07/11/2016 12:25

I don't doubt it. Should I not bother to post, it was an update from the US otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
Raytheon has invested $3.5Bn in cybersecurity division.

[wad collector] 07/11/2016 09:00

These share price targets are a bit optimistic ; if you look back at the last yrs , lots of 600+ targets have been quoted but never looked like being reached.
Almost as if they are guessing ?

[philo124] 07/11/2016 06:42

Citigroup upgrades from hold to buy, target 630p.

'UK confirms Type 26 build schedule and air defences'

UK defence secretary Michael Fallon announced on 4 November that steel for the first of eight new Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy (RN) will be cut at BAE Systems' facilities on the Clyde in Glasgow "next summer".

He also confirmed a GBP100 million (USD125 million) order for MBDA's Sea Ceptor air defence missile system to arm the eight new frigates. That system, based on the Common Anti-air Modular Missile, is currently being qualified for installation aboard the Type 23 frigates that will be replaced by the new vessels and forms the core of the British Army's new Future Local Area Air Defence System.
