chunky buy from a non-exec

eeza, unfortunately the tyres are big even compared with a lorry tyre and they are inflated to a high psi for such a high volume, I think around 500psi.... they go off like a bomb. Sounds very unlucky as you would expect them to fail at takeoff or landing when the forces on them are most.

Interesting article Https://www.ecoticias.com/en/japan-hydrogen-rolls-royce-engine/5843/Japan has hydrogen, but Rolls-Royce surprises with something better: The most powerful fuel in historyJapan has developed a very powerful hydrogen industry, the same industry that the rest of the world looks askance at and that we in America are getting closer and closer to. However, Rolls-Royce has unexpectedly overtaken them with an engine that could become 'the most powerful in history' (in a metaphorical sense). It has only recently been unveiled, and already experts believe it could revolutionize global mobility. These are some of the details that highlight the end of EVs and, of course, of combustion engines.The U.S. has EVs, and Japan has hydrogen: Rolls-Royce has surprised the world with a new fuelManufacturing giant Rolls-Royce is now following suit, completing its 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) test program. This historic move should be viewed as a giant leap forward toward dismantling aviation's contribution to climate change, as well as providing a roadmap for future green flight.Currently, one of the vanguard aircraft models involved in this novel efficacy testing regime is the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine, which propels Boeing 787 Dreamliners. This engine has been effectively adaptable to 100% SAF without any changes in the engine structure or modus operandi.Rolls-Royce's new engine, in detail: Some impressive figures to understand itThis compatibility is evidence of the great innovation that has gone into the engine's design, alongside Rolls-Royce's focus on green aviation technologies. The performance figures of the Trent 1000 engine running on 100% SAF are impressive:Thrust Output: There is no reduction in the engine's rated thrust of up to 78,000 pounds (347 kN) even when fuel is made of 100% SAF.Fuel Efficiency: Preliminary trials suggest that there may be a fuel efficiency gain of up to one percent when running on 100% SAF, and the actual numbers are still under review.Emissions Reduction: The application of 100 percent SAF has demonstrated high worthy reductions in environmental impacts, as lifecycle CO2 emission reduction may increase by up to 80 percent as compared to conventional jet fuel.Why could SAF fuel be an alternative to hydrogen? Maybe it's not cleaner, but "easier"The successful development of 100% SAF-compatible engines by Rolls-Royce has far-reaching implications for the aviation industry:Emissions Reduction: Main deployments of these engines may bring the aviation industry's emissions down, thus helping states work towards climate targets.Regulatory Compliance: Airlines that have these engines will be in a better place to cope with environmental standards that are likely to be tightened.Market Leadership: It is established that Rolls-Royce has an early mover advantage in this field to effectively compete for the increasing market for sustainable aviation technologies.Rolls-Royce's roadmap for the "future engine for aviation": New SAF fuel and prototype to be commercializedThis has not been a one-year or two-year process to design this engine, which is 100% compatible with the SAFs that are now being adopted by the aviation industry. Key milestones in the project include:Initial Ground Tests: Rolls-Royce started getting preliminary information on the Trent 1000 engine using 100% SAF blended with conventional jet fuel in 2021 about both societal and environmental impacts.Flight Test Program: In 2022, Rolls-Royce began the first in-flight tests of its new engine using the aircraft's Boeing 747 flying tested while steadily raising the volume of SAF.Completion of Test Program: On November 10th, 2023, Rolls-Royce revealed that they had passed all tests, with SAF achieving 100% prospects for Sustainable Aviation Technologies.At the present time, the outcome of the project is very prospective. Rolls-Royce has proven that the Trent 1000 engine can burn 100% SAF without compromising any of the performance parameters, and it has also undergone all safety tests.The new Rolls-Royce engine is designed to decarbonize air transport, one of the most polluting forms of transport today. Will it be the perfect alternative to hydrogen? Other manufacturers have been trying to do so, and there is even talk of 2026 as the year when we will see this fuel 'flying' overhead. However, the new SAF fuel engine could be a closer and easier to implement option, just what brands like Boeing or Airbus need and are trying to put in place.

65ml shares put through after the bell at 500 so someone must have faith too !

[smurfy2001] 27/8/2024 14:47

[thegrafter] 27/8/2024 14:10

Peter , that's the beauty of the stock market, it allows us to invest or not on our own analysis of a company. I personally think Rolls Royce has a lot further to go this year , and next , so we shall see what happens

[petergnosis] 27/8/2024 12:15

I think the highs are already in for this share for the time being...maybe even the rest of the year.

[davetedjack] 27/8/2024 11:58

It's round numbersFor some strange reason they are real resistance but once gone usually are easy to push away from I'm tempted but hold more than enough to keep my PF balanced

[pal44] 27/8/2024 09:59

£5.00 is a hard stop to crack but sure it will soon ;)

Rolls-Royce gets credit rating upgrade from S&P



Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (LSE:RR.) has had its credit rating lifted by agency S&P Global after reporting a jump in margins over the first half of the year.

S&P lifted Rolls-Royce’s rating from BBB/A-3 to BBB/A-2, noting better margins had led to improving expectations for profitability over the coming years.

“We continue to see significant deleveraging over the next two years and a strengthening balance sheet,” S&P said in a statement.

“Rolls-Royce's credit metrics have improved materially over the last 24 months, and we expect that trend to continue.”

Rolls-Royce reported earlier this month that its underlying operating margin had sat at 14.0% over the first half of the year, from 9.6% previously.

Though this was driven by improvement in its civil aerospace division, with growth expected to slow over the coming years, S&P said other business lines would likely support margins.

Underlying profit increased by 74% to £1.1 billion in the meantime, prompting guidance for the full year to be upped.

S&P added that Rolls-Royce’s plan to bring back shareholder rewards was unlikely to negatively affect deleveraging efforts too much, given its “balance sheet has been strengthened enough”.

S&P estimated free cash flow of £2.1 billion to £2.3 billion over the coming two years, in line with Rolls-Royce’s guidance, alongside revenue growth of 5% to 7% in 2024.

Net debt against EBITDA is expected to dip to between 0.0x and 0.5x, from 0.9x in 2023, over the coming two years, S&P added.

“The positive outlook reflects that we could raise the rating on Rolls-Royce over the next 18 to 24 months.”

Petergnosis, to quote you "There are clearly some insane peopke on this thread"

Whatever the attractions of SMR at the end of the decade, the recovery in flying hours, cost cutting etc is all priced in. This is an expensive stock now. Brace for a fall.

Puns apart, if and when decisions are made on SMR's from both UK and foreign interests, this thing will be going thermo-nuclear, Sky's the limit etc. Also recent life improvements to the fan blades, which has been a bit of a spectre over the company, will start to unwind in to orders, as who doesn't like both efficiency and less down time. I think this is going to be one of those Next things and some will be saying that they sold out at £10-15 when the shares are hitting £30-£50 in a few years.

S&P Global upgrades credit rating for Rolls-RoyceThu, 22nd Aug 2024 09:29Sharecast News(Sharecast News) - Credit ratings agency S&P Global has upgraded its view on aerospace engineer Rolls-Royce by one notch on the back of the group's rising profitability, strong cash generation and deleveraging.The brighter outlook follows the company's half-year report on 1 August, which showed that operating profit margins rose to 14% from 9.7% a year earlier, driven by margin improvements in the civil aerospace division due to an increasing contribution from aftermarket services."While the material growth in margins in civil aerospace is expected to flatten over the next few years, we think other business lines could support further margin increases," S&P Global said in a research note.The agency has now lifted its profit forecasts for Rolls-Royce over 2024 and 2025, along with its free cash flow projections."Improvements in free cash flow are supported by an increase in engine flying hours, resulting in growing long-term service agreement (LTSA) balances and higher shop visits in civil aerospace, along with continued pricing initiatives and actions completed under the Transformation Program," S&P Global said.Meanwhile, with the balance sheet expected to continue improving, the agency expects Rolls-Royce's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio will stay "well below" 1.5x for the next two years."We therefore raised our issuer credit ratings on Rolls-Royce to 'BBB/A-2' from 'BBB-/A-3', as well as the issue rating on Rolls-Royce's senior unsecured debt to 'BBB' from 'BBB-'."The positive outlook reflects that we could raise the rating over the next 18-24 months if the company maintains strong performance and implements predictable financial policies that support a higher credit standing even in weaker market conditions."Rolls-Royce shares were up 0.9% at 496.7p by 1039 BST.

Here is a good little read for you all !! Are You Looking for a Top Momentum Pick? Why Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RYCEY) is a Great ChoiceZacks Equity ResearchWed, 21 Aug 2024 at 5:00 PM BST4-min readMomentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.Below, we take a look at Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RYCEY), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>Set to Beat the Market?In order to see if RYCEY is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.For RYCEY, shares are up 4.22% over the past week while the Zacks Aerospace - Defense Equipment industry is up 3.55% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 8.53% compares favorably with the industry's 1.53% performance as well.While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Over the past quarter, shares of Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC have risen 11.38%, and are up 152.38% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 5.75% and 29.69%, respectively.Investors should also pay attention to RYCEY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. RYCEY is currently averaging 2,896,321 shares for the last 20 days.Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with RYCEY.Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost RYCEY's consensus estimate, increasing from $0.21 to $0.23 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that RYCEY is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC on your short list.
