£5 would be good for me

[ribblewader] 04/11/2020 12:05

Over the £5 mark by year end will do me

[carpingtris] 04/11/2020 10:13

Anything above 480p would keep me content!

[silverstone1] 04/11/2020 10:11

£6.75 WITHIN 12 MONTHS!

[northernhills] 04/11/2020 08:58

Any share price you have in mind, mine is £6+ by end 2022

[carpingtris] 03/11/2020 21:42

I know what you mean... portfolio is slowly recovering and each month I look to add.. last week was well timed and also picked up some more AV.

Adding where funds allow, especially when at such a low price! Only wish had more cash on hand.

[wad collector] 03/11/2020 21:26

Yes well done anyone who managed to buy last week sub £4. It seemed underpriced. Sadly I could not add as, like many I suspect , have a bombed out portfolio and no spare cash. Sit on hands time.

[carpingtris] 03/11/2020 15:38

Averaged down to ~480p having brought some last week at 409p..

Feeling more positive for this to get back over £5 by year end. Irrespective of which geriatric gets in over the pond.

Defense

While the consensus thinking is a Democratic win would mean less defense spending, Biden has said he may increase spending in areas that the Defense Department "desperately needs to innovate" such as "unmanned capacity, cyber and IT." "I've met with a number of my advisors and some have suggested in certain areas the budget is going to have to be increased," he told military newspaper Stars and Stripes in September. Defense stocks have climbed sharply overall under President Trump, even with the COVID-related selloff hitting the sector, and generally tend to do well under Republican administrations. Shortly after winning the election in 2016, Trump added more than $200B to the defense budget for fiscal years 2017 through 2019, and in December of 2019, he signed a $738B defense bill for fiscal 2020

Bailing out of civil aerospace not looking like such a shabby decision now.

BAE/RR COULD ALSO WORK OUT BRILLIANTLY!

[squidsgone] 02/11/2020 19:50

My mistake, thought you were making a serious point.

[silverstone1] 02/11/2020 19:08

BAE/GEC WORKED OUT BRILLIANTLY!

[squidsgone] 02/11/2020 16:29

Errr ...., why, most of RR business is commercial.

BAE SYSTEMS COULD EASILY SWALLOW ROLLS-ROYCE WITHOUT GETTING INDIGESTION OR SIMPLY MERGE AND OWN 70% OF THE ENLARGED GROUP!

[poikka] 02/11/2020 10:45

Bookbroker, BA work with other companies on JVs. I see no point, or possibility, of a merger.

An ideal fit with Tempest?

MELBOURNE, Australia — Japan has named Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as the prime contractor to build its next-generation fighter jet, with the Defense Ministry announcing earlier Friday that it signed a contract with the company.

“We will steadily proceed with the development of the next fighter (F-X) together with the company,” the ministry said in a brief statement posted on it website.

Local media is reporting Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said the country will select an overseas partner by the end of this year for collaboration on aircraft technology, with stealth technology being one area of focus.

They are taking 8ver companies all the time. Smaller ones. Think they can do a OK on their own.

[bookbroker] 30/10/2020 14:20

I think this company really should for a merger, it’s hard enough going it alone, as you see by RR., although entirely different circumstances. However, in a world of shrinking budgets likely going forward, it would be an injustice to shareholders not to try and obtain a better deal. Sure they have been generous dividend payers, but that seems irrelevant judging by recent falls, the election of the Biden crime family over the Trump crime family seems to rattling the price here. But dividends alone will not keep this up, and discussions have been mooted over the years, time to resurrect them.

Drop is brutal here.
