I generally consider fool as a tabloid, but they make a compelling case for BAE over RR.

"Not a fan of Fool reports generally but someone might find this interesting"


Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are crushing the FTSE 100, but which should you buy?

[ribblewader] 16/6/2018 22:20

Hmm, looking forward to the next leg up.

Chunky contract from US MOD.



BAE lands $347 million US Army contract to produce upgraded Bradley Fighting Vehicles



Army taps BAE for new Bradley vehicles
The company is to provide the U.S. Army with up to 473 M2A4 and M7A4 vehicles, as well as additional parts and spares.

Struth, taking a pasting today.

[ribblewader] 15/6/2018 08:56

Last week I had been considering replacing these for RR, ah well thats out the window now!

[fangorn2] 15/6/2018 08:28

Agreed Dafrog.

Just wondering when BAE are going to get some sizeable contracts - especially US side which is ramping up defence spending...

[dafrog] 15/6/2018 08:04

Any increase in our ammunition production is good news. The old Royal Ordnance Factories organisation ensured that we had our own capabilities.

GE to support UK’s Type 45 PIP

BAE Systems Land UK is investing around £10 million in its ammunition production capability with the decision to build a new production line for 12.7mm ammunition at the Radway Green small arms ammunition facility, adding up to 10 million rounds a year.





Small beer news side as the summer lull sets in.

[cmackay] 15/6/2018 00:32

new contract announcements, perhaps? or as the red tops would have you believe that the UK's F35s are in danger of vandalism due to a 5 foot fence being the only security, maybe a replacement order? ;)

I know our rating is still moderate compared to peers but what's gonna be the catalyst for breakout? We already know that 18 numbers will be similar to 17. Maybe some good news from the gulf..

[vikingwarrier] 14/6/2018 17:32

This is a coiled spring. Breakout should be interesting

[cmackay] 14/6/2018 17:18

I'm in a similar situation RW, I have a fairly small holding that I have recently taken, in fact I have just had my first dividend reinvestment completed. Its in an ISA so for me it is something to let build up over a few decades and not really worry about the sp/yield too much.

IP issue threatens Rolls-Royce deal

Should the two sides fail to reach an agreement, Rolls-Royce could be forced to pull out of the programme. This could call into question the role of BAE Systems, which last year signed a £100m contract with Turkish Aerospace Industries to help design the jet. About 200 BAE engineers are working with TAI in the UK and Turkey.

BAE to develop conflict modeling software for DARPA
The $4.2 million contract, announced Monday by the defense contractor, is the first phase of software development for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory as part of its Causal Exploration of Complex Operational Environments program.

The CONTEXTS system, which BAE says is a first-of-its-kind development, is intended to allow planners to learn about a conflict and explore what is happening on the ground, using a system that is designed and maintained for easy access by operational planners.

EU set to shut UK and US out of defence fund

[ribblewader] 13/6/2018 10:39

Wad, agree with you BUT as I now hold them all in my SIPP the income from these (and others) is quite welcome. Also the eternal question then remains, where else to put the money, mainly for income but growth is always welcome.

[wad collector] 13/6/2018 10:05

I have held here for yrs but wonder if the best gains are behind us for now ; 5 yrs ago they were about £3 and yielding about 6% , now they are nudging £6.50 and yielding about 3%. Tempted to sell all if we go much higher.

[kenbachelor] 13/6/2018 07:51

Thank you RibbleWader.

RibbleWader - Why have you removed the charts and news panels? They don't need updating.
