 Doubling production in Rotherham : The £110m facility on the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham was officially opened in 2015 and is where turbine blades are manufactured for Rolls-Royce's world-leading aeroplane engines.Following continued demand and thousands of engines on order, the firm is working on proposals to double the factory's production capacity which is key to the manufacture of single crystal (SX) turbine blades.With an initial capacity of 100,000 blades per year, it was always likely to increase to 200,000 when the pioneering manufacturing process had been proven.The ABCF has a prime position within the South Yorkshire Investment Zone and so the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is looking to support Rolls-Royce with a grant, potentially up to £2m.Allthough SYMCA meeting papers do not name the beneficiary company, the information all points to Rolls-Royce.Papers say: "IZ002 [the company] is currently undergoing a major transformation which began in 2023 and is anticipated to complete by 2027, with particular focus on reducing operating costs."The Facility in Rotherham is a cutting-edge supplier of high-value superalloy turbine blade castings. IZ0002 load and capacity planning forecasts a demand increase of circa 100,000 single crystal turbine blade castings per year between 2024 and 2030, with existing factory capacity exceeded in 2026. The investment proposal is for a £21.3m investment in the facility to double the factory's production capacity.https://www.rothbiz.co.uk/2025/03/news-8651-rolls-royce-readying-21m.html |
Looks like a little 12m contract from MOD ;)https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/mod-intends-to-extend-12m-a400m-engine-support-contract/AIRMOD intends to extend £12m A400M engine support contractBy Lisa West - March 12, 2025The Ministry of Defence intends to award a 12-month extension to the National Engine Support Contract 2.5 (NESC2.5) with Rolls-Royce PLC for the provision of Maintenance Level 2 (ML2) in-service support for the TP400 engine powering the UK's A400M transport aircraft.According to the voluntary ex ante transparency notice, the £12 million extension, effective from 1 October 2025, is intended to ensure continuity of service while preparations are made for the next phase of the support contract, NESC3.The MOD states that the extension is being placed without a competitive tender under Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. The contract is being awarded directly to Rolls-Royce PLC due to technical and operational factors that prevent competition. |
Those with tight stop loss orders. A poster here was one the other day. Each to their own. |
Hello patientcapital,
Funny, on your WCM website, you have a article pomotional on Applovin, I'm shareholder too of this company. We'll see well if this rocket continue in the future, even with investigations in progress. |
Patient Capital, seriously, why would people lose their holdings on a 1 day drop of just over 8%? |
MCunliffe1, serious money is made when people get in early.
I'm in Rolls-Royce at 70p, I simply wouldn't be capable of waiting until the price you got in at.
Ee the tip i gave you as an example.
I've over 11 million at less than 8p
I'll guarantee you that I'll see £2.35p. |

Likewise. Holding 7643 of these.
At an average of about £3.93 each I find it hard to convince myself to buy more and dilute that relatively low average.
Yet my logical brain tells me each new share would benefit if the share price rose from my new, higher buy price. |
I expect more than a few lost their holdings in the violent shake out the other day. I'm hurrying up doing nothing. |
Uncrossed at the high of the day. |
That's my plan 1carus, though I do use drops to add to my holding. |
Selling in and out of dips is really tricky here, you would be unlikely to pick the top or bottom of either. It also moves really quickly and the chances are that you would miss fast moving positive movement. Way less stressful to stick and hold and await SMR news. (Placing a stop the day before may be a good idea though) |
Indeed. For info from their website:"WCM is an independent investment management firm that is majority-owned by its employees. We manage approximately $92 billion in assets on behalf of institutions and individuals worldwide." |
We have notification of a new major shareholder WCM Investment Management 3.12 percent , the more the merrier ! |
Turkish airlines has a large order for RR engines. IAG not so many. |
Personally, I've buy RR for the long-term, I'm not panic by this fluctuations, the US buy and sell a lot European defense shares because their trade is very complex in this moment.
So not problem for me.
But each his situation financial, so each is free to chose buy/sell. |
With respect Coopstock there's been one big up and one not quite as big drop. Generally, over the past 7 to 8 months it's been a rise.
Many, many years ago I dabbled in put and call options and RR was one of the best for that (alongside M&S and BAe).
Who knows what a peak might be or indeed the bottom of a dip. My problem lies in 28% of my SIPP (the invested part) sits in RR. I have enough cash in that SIPP for the draw-down I've just arranged with ii and for next years as well. I guess I can sit out the wild year and on that point I agree wholly with you Coop.
Anyway, after April 2027 any increases in the Pension pot unspent are potentially funding the government with 40% of the that pot. Bit depressing really. |
There will always be pullbacks along the way...some will want to take profits which is understandable... |
MCunliffe1...I was with RR and increased my holding yesterday...if they're putting their money where their mouth is then that's a great sign...this company is a great British turnaround with a fantastic manager at the helm...what's not to like? |
RR beginning to operate like a US meme stock. Big swings up and down. Could be a wild year ahead. Plenty of chances to sell at peaks and buy on dips. |
