What's the significance of £14? I know it's a nice round number but that's all it is, has no bearing on the valuation of the shares, imo.

[ribblewader] 08/5/2024 07:16

Good start to the day, will the £14 fall this week?

MILAN — Amid a rush within NATO to rally around next-generation combat aircraft, new alliance member Sweden is taking a pause to assess what’s next for its lineage as a warplane-producing country.

The Nordic state in 2022 suspended its flirtation with one of Europe’s two marquee airpower efforts, the Global Combat Air Programme, an initiative led by the U.K., Italy and Japan that seeks to deliver a sixth-generation fighter capability by 2035.

It seems the Company mouthpiece continues to spew forth
Nothing about this then?


Probably because
1)Al Yamamah was a key national security contract for BAE

2) This is how business is done in the Middle East.

Nothing to see here unless youre a woke progressive leftie frankly.

What's your interest in such?

Phillis , was that not in 2010?

Developed with Tempest in mind!.....

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has so far missed the opportunity of utilising advanced manufacturing technologies developed through a cancelled unmanned aircraft demonstrator programme in future products, a leading supplier has argued.

Speaking as part of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee’s inquiry into defence spending in the country on 1 May, Nick Laird, managing director for European space and defence at Spirit AeroSystems in Belfast, referenced the uncrewed combat air vehicle it had been developing alongside Northrop Grumman under Project Mosquito.

BAE Systems has received a $87.2 million contract from the U.S. Navy for repair work aboard the dock landing ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50).
The contract includes options that, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $92.2 million.

Under the competitively-awarded contract, the USS Carter Hall will undergo a year of restorative work at the company’s shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia, which is also the ship’s homeport. BAE Systems will begin working aboard the 610-foot-long ship in July 2024, performing a combination of maintenance and preservation work on the ship’s hull, its internal fuel and ballast tanks, and the engineering plant.

BAE Systems was selected by NASA to develop the Atmospheric Composition instrument (ACX) that will fly on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) satellite constellation.

GeoXO is a constellation of three satellites meant to expand on Earth observations made by its predecessor, NOAA’s current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R series (GOES-R). The mission will continue to gather data in support of key NOAA focus areas, such as lightning mapping and visible and infrared imagery for weather monitoring. However, GeoXO will also provide novel, high-priority capabilities such as atmospheric composition, infrared sounding and ocean color observations to enhance forecasts and science benefits.

Mail on Sunday runs a Centre page spread on World Defence Spending Featuring BAE as the Star.

The price is expected to double is my take on the Fundamentals

BAE has a bulging order book-Commissions worth £37.7Bn were received last year & UK Gov pledge to increase Defence spending will keep this flowing.

General Consensus; BAE is a BUY. £14 + next week.

Defence giant lodges plans for research facility

A defence giant's new research facility would support the design and building of "the most advanced submarines ever operated by the Royal Navy".

BAE Systems has lodged plans to build Project Spartan, a four-storey construction on the site of a former munitions factory in Barrow, Cumbria.

[stever705] 25/4/2024 14:24

Maybe linked to Labour not committing to the 2.5% spend on defence?
