lots of shares looking better today!

but upgraded Advanced Hawk Jet could be good news for RR albeit neither the IAF or Indian Navy have yet to show any interest:

Alpha

thanks, got my Z's mixed up, doh! :-0

Zodiac. Still a six-letter word starting with a Z. :-)

UBS downgraded Safran as they upgraded RR.
I'm reading on some nerds' websites that Safran's LEAP engine schedule is running behind Airbus frames' on A320neo

With Safran preoccupied with take over of Zodiac, now would be an opportune time for RR to make a play for MTU even if its just through a merger with RR Deutschland. They could follow up in a few years with a full takeover when finances are in better shape.

Is anyone else getting the adverts on ADFVN just suddenly starting up? I have phoned in but as usual they give no reason for the complaint you make. This is a stinking company i know and i have just stopped my subscription because they are taking the mickey now by pumping in these adverts.

Alphahunter, ha ha ha!

Boeing is working on a small version of the 777. Guess what it's called...

I also note that the news about the fine came out on the 17th of January, four days after FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH.

That sent the share price up to a range where it stopped crossing 666.

Coincidence? I think not.

[arf dysg] 25/1/2017 11:47

Has anyone noticed that, ever since the middle of November, the share price has been bouncing around 666 and has repeatedly crossed 666?

I bet that crossing 666 is a whole lot worse than having a black cat cross your path.

The goldbug conspirationist fanclubs said the BD brought it back.

The German central bank has plenty of gold but it is kept in New York.

Its now called Das Vertriebs- und Marketing gastfreundschaft budget

[wad collector] 18/1/2017 11:18

Don't think they have any gold left in Germany , I think they have spent it all. Nice word though.

[a0148009] 17/1/2017 18:07

In the early 70's bribes known as Schmiergeld, which rolls of the tongue nicely, were legal in Germany don't know if this is still the case since the EU.

"realise that through their over-zealousness they are actually doing a disservice to their country?"

Probably not. It is all about self-promotion. In another life I would round them up and have them shot for treason.

[rogerrail] 17/1/2017 11:40

The sad fact is that had RR not done what it did to gain orders, the company would be in an even worse state now as it would have lost out to international competition not shy of making the same under the table payments in countries where the practice is rife..
Further the record fine is an additional millstone holding back the company in sustaining and creating the high value added jobs the country so badly needs.

I heard on the radio this morning one commentator ( I think a current or previous employee of the SFO) who suggested the fine was not appropriate and the company should be subject to prosecution and sanctions, don't they realise that through their over-zealousness they are actually doing a disservice to their country?

[standish11] 17/1/2017 11:01

News of the bigger-than-expected settlement was "negative but benign" as the authorities had agreed to allow Rolls to spread payments out over five years, said Jefferies analyst
Sandy Morris.
"This is by no means a great moment in Rolls-Royce's history but in terms of a healing process, getting the SFO settled and having trading, particularly on cash flow improving, well maybe, just maybe, Rolls is on the mend," Morris said.
Rolls said in its statement on Monday that it had finished the year strongly meaning that profit and cash flow would be ahead of expectations.
The company is due to report 2016 results on Feb. 14 with the consensus forecast for annual pretax profit to halve to 686 million pounds.
East's self-help measures, which include making savings of up to 200 million pounds a year from this year, plus a positive market backdrop for aircraft engines and a helpful post-Brexit slump in the pound could all have boosted profits, said
Jefferies' Morris.
Analysts are positive on the turnaround plan East has led at the company, which has included shedding hundreds of managers, speeding up decision-making.
"I think East's doing a really good job. He's doing all the right things," said Agency Partners analyst Nick Cunningham.
