Just out : Rolls-Royce suffers £78m loss on mini-nukes amid UK rollout delaysCompany moves ahead with Czech-backed project as Britain's selection process for SMR technologies drags onRolls-Royce's mini nuclear reactor business has posted a £78m loss as it awaits the outcome of a delayed UK tender competition.The company, which is developing a small modular reactor (SMR) design that it hopes to export globally, saw losses in 2023 grow from £61m the previous year, new accounts show. It came as the company ramped up spending on research and development from £78m to £115m. It made no revenue and employed some 590 staff. Losses also grew as Rolls – along with three rivals – continued to wait for a decision by the UK Government on which SMR technologies it would back following a series of delays. The competition was first announced by George Osborne, the former Conservative chancellor, in 2015 but is still yet to reach a conclusion.Tufan Erginbilgiç, chief executive of the Rolls-Royce group, has urged ministers to press ahead as quickly as possible, saying he expects orders from around the world to begin flowing in if Rolls emerges as a winner.SMRs are seen as one of the most promising technologies for decarbonising heavy industry and providing a stable power source as the world shifts to net zero. The small reactors are factory made and assembled on site, rather than being built from scratch as large reactors are, which should deliver significant savings. Rolls has always stressed that it expects the SMR business, which is a joint venture with other shareholders, to be loss-making until it begins to build reactors and recoup its investment. Each SMR is eventually expected to sell for between £2bn and £3bn. The company is now approaching a series of milestones that will shape what it does next.Last month the Czech Republic became the first country to place an order for Rolls' SMRs – before even Britain – with the Czech state also expected to take a minority stake in the business.At the same time, the company is a final contender in a Swedish SMR competition and has been shortlisted in the final four of Britain's SMR process. It has advanced into the final stage of the generic design approval process with the UK nuclear regulator.  Rolls-Royce SMR is also attempting to develop a manufacturing process for the modules of its reactor, originally drawn from a design used in nuclear-powered submarines, with help from the University of Sheffield.The British SMR design competition, which is being run by Great British Nuclear, has suffered repeated delays but is currently expected to wrap up by late this year or early next year. If Rolls – which is seen as a frontrunner – emerges as one of two expected victors, the company will be handed a site to develop along with taxpayer funding. Mr Erginbilgiç previously warned ministers that they risked losing "first mover advantage" on the technology and its supply chains if they did not conclude the process soon.The Czech decision to press ahead with orders has sparked fears that jobs which could otherwise have been based in Britain now risk going abroad. The latest accounts were published as Rolls-Royce SMR continues talks to raise more cash from investors, now expected to include the Czech government.It previously received a £210m grant from the UK Government as well as £280m from private investors including Rolls, BNF Resources, Constellation and the Qatar Investment Authority. That money is expected to run out in the first quarter of next year. The Telegraph revealed in August that bosses were looking to raise more funds, potentially by bringing in new investors. Mr Erginbilgiç previously said he did not expect to have difficulty securing the cash. On Wednesday, in its newly published accounts, the SMR business said: "The company is exploring a number of funding options to continue to develop the SMR design."It added that bosses were "well advanced in negotiations with both existing and prospective shareholders and also potential future customers".

Rolls-Royce is on a smoother flight path at lastThe UK aircraft engine manufacturer is starting to live up to its distinguished name When a Rolls-Royce engine on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350 caught fire shortly after taking off from Hong Kong last week, the aviation industry's collective groan could be heard around the world. Shares in Rolls-Royce fell 6.5 per cent as investors worried that its recovery was in jeopardy.Happily, it appears to have been a false alarm. The problem lay with an easily-replaced fuel pipe, rather than matching the scale of an earlier flaw on the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine for the Boeing 787, which cost £2bn to remedy. That emerged in 2017 and the final part is only now being certified: in aerospace, fixing failures tends to take a long time and be very costly.Rolls-Royce knows this better than most. There is no finer name in the industry, with an aircraft heritage reaching back to the Eagle engine designed by Henry Royce in 1914. But its recent history is distinctly patchy: it was nationalised in 1971 when it ran low on cash and has struggled to grow smoothly since being privatised in 1987. It has not been a Rolls-Royce operation.Small wonder that Tufan Erginbilgiç, its no-nonsense chief executive, dubbed the company a "burning platform" when he arrived in January 2023. The Erginbilgiç strategy of culling managers and raising prices has worked: "A hundred times zero is still zero," is his mantra when faced with internal calls to boost sales by signing low-margin contracts. The share price has more than quadrupled since he came. It is a remarkable turnaround. Analysts who have for decades doubted Rolls-Royce's ability to deliver on its promises have finally turned bullish. Erginbilgiç has briskly imposed private equity-style disciplines on a culture dominated by over-optimistic and financially wayward engineers, and has so far won. "He is a terrific operator, demanding and clear," says one Rolls-Royce veteran.Erginbilgiç also had impeccable timing. Not much happens quickly in the industry, and he actually inherited from his predecessor Warren East a platform that was poised for growth, having stopped burning after a critical period during the pandemic. Nick Cunningham, an analyst at Agency Partners, notes that Erginbilgiç is not only a skilled leader but a lucky general.Two cycles have worked to his advantage. One is the fact that people are flying more. Engines are often sold to airlines on lease-like contracts under which manufacturers guarantee their reliability in return for cash payments based on flying hours. Rolls-Royce makes an initial loss on selling most commercial aircraft engines and the rewards grow as they are flown.The second cycle is the maturity of its portfolio. It costs billions to design and develop a new engine and it is also expensive if one turns out to have a problem that needs a redesign (as with the Trent 1000). But after about a decade, a reliable engine becomes highly profitable. As in the music and book publishing industries, the most desirable asset is a solid backlist.Erginbilgiç can still achieve more by carrying on squeezing and avoiding further nasty surprises. The company is only now generating sufficient cash to repair its battered balance sheet and consistency carries considerable rewards. As last week's fright in Hong Kong showed, investors still do not rate Rolls-Royce as highly as rivals such as Safran and GE Aerospace: it hasn't earned respect yet.But the ultimate prize is to make it far bigger in civil aerospace, along with its defence and power systems divisions. It now has about a 50 per cent share of new engine orders for widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A350. Its challenge is the absence of Rolls-Royce engines on single-aisle jets such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 Max - a larger and faster growing market.Rolls-Royce left a single-aisle engine partnership with Pratt & Whitney in 2012 because of the financial demands. It may get another chance in the 2030s on the next generation of such aircraft and it is developing a new engine technology called UltraFan. But it will need greater scale to make and overhaul so many engines, although Erginbilgiç says it would seek a partner.Turbulence does not only strike Rolls-Royce: Pratt & Whitney faces a $3bn problem with its own geared turbofan engines on Airbus aircraft. The question is whether Erginbilgiç can exploit its newfound stability not only to improve today's business but to give it as great a future as its name.He may no longer be in charge when that happens, given that he is 64. But at Rolls-Royce, a leader must both improve the platform and build another for their successor. That is now his job.john.gapper@ft.com

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.

Rolls-Royce share price analysis: buy, sell or hold?



Rolls-Royce (LON: LON:RR) share price has held steady this year, making it one of the best-performing companies in the FTSE 100 index. It has risen by over 64% this year, giving it a market cap of over £41 billion.

Rolls-Royce is doing well
Rolls Royce, one of the leading industrial companies in the world, is doing well, helped by the rising demand across its three key divisions and great execution.

It confirmed this view recently when it published its financial results for the first half of the year. The numbers showed that its underlying revenue rose to £8.18 billion this year, higher than the £6.95 billion it made a year earlier.

Its operating profit nearly doubled as it moved from £673 million to over £1.14 billion while its profit before taxation soared to over £1.03 billion. Most importantly, Rolls-Royce generated a free cash flow of over £1.15 billion.

These results demonstrated that the management was executing well at a time when supply chain constraints are continuing. Most of its improvement came from its civil aviation business, where the company sells engines and then takes Long Term Service Agreements (LTSA).

When everything is going on well, the LTSA strategy is highly profitable since its airline customers pay for every flight hour, a process that spreads costs, making it more affordable to them. It is Rolls-Royce’s biggest cash earner.

Rolls-Royce is also growing its margins across all its divisions. Its civil aviation’s operating margins rose to 18% while the defense and power systems rose to 15.5% and 10.3%, respectively. If this trend continues, it means that the company is set to hit its mid-term targets ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile, Roll-Royce Holdings is also benefiting from the data center business as the artificial intelligence craze continues. Its power business had over $1.8 billion in revenues and an operating profit of over £189 million.

Most importantly, Rolls-Royce has improved its balance sheet. It ended the last quarter with over £6.8 billion in available liquidity, with its cash and equivalents standing at £4.3 billion. It has also reduced its net debt to over £0.8 billion, down from the pandemic high of £5.2 billion.

Additionally, Rolls-Royce investors will now benefit from the stock appreciation and a dividend, which will be between 30% and 40% of its underlying profit.

Rolls-Royce valuation and catalysts
The main concern among investors is whether Rolls-Royce is overvalued or undervalued. Recent data shows that the company has a market cap of over £41 billion or $52 billion, making it the 16th biggest company in the UK.

This valuation makes it significantly smaller than General Electric (NYSE:GE) Aerospace, the biggest jet engine manufacturer in the world, which has a valuation of over $179 billion. GE Aerospace made over $9.1 billion in revenues in the last quarter.

In terms of multiples, data shows that Rolls-Royce Holdings trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 17, which is lower than the S&P 500 average of 21 and the FTSE 100 index average of 19. This means that the company is still at a discount since its revenue growth rate is better than that of the S&P 500 and FTSE 100.

Rolls-Royce is also trading at a discount than most of its industrial rivals. GE Aviation has a price-to-earnings multiple of 45 while companies like Howmet Aerospace (HWM), Safran (EPA:SAF), and RTX have multiples of over 40. These multiples mean that the company is trading at a discount.

Other metrics show that the company is undervalued. A discounted free cash flow (DCF) valuation shows that the company is relatively cheap. According to Simply Wall St, the company was trading at a 54% discount to its fair value.

Therefore, fundamentally, the company seems like it is undervalued. Besides, it is growing, its business is seeing strong demand, and is now a leaner company than what it was during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has also received upgrades from the three leading rating agencies like Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P Global.

However, the management will need to execute well to justify the current valuation. This means that they need to ensure the quality of its engines to prevent the maintenance woes it had a few years ago.

Rolls-Royce share price forecast
The daily chart shows that the RR stock price has been in a strong bull run this year and recently soared to a record high of 502p. It has remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator have continued rising, meaning that it has strong momentum. The stock has formed what looks like a double-top pattern.

Therefore, the stock needs to move above that resistance at 502p to confirm the bullish trend. If this happens, the next point to watch will be at 600p.

I am too as a shareholder. The FTSE 100 engine maker is seeing strong demand in its Defence division due to a tragically warring world, while growth in its Civil Aerospace business is being driven by recovering global travel.Profits are growing, margins are expanding, and the balance sheet is suddenly much less of a concern. So, it's certainly not unreasonable to expect further share price growth over time.However, it's also important to remember that Rolls-Royce can be a very volatile stock. It's had multiple 50%+ share price declines over the past quarter of a century.Here are some noticeable ones:Between July 2001 and March 2003, the stock bombed 70%November 2007-November 2008: -51%December 2013-Novemeber 2015: -50%May 2019-October 2020: -87%October 2021-October 2022: -51%When we zoom out, volatility like this is actually fairly common in investing. We don't know when the next massive drawdown in the Rolls-Royce share price will happen. It could be next week or next year. Or perhaps 2030. But history suggests another is coming at some point.Non-linear progress hints at volatilityRolls-Royce's CEO Tufan Erginbilgiç has set out some ambitious profitability targets to be achieved by 2027.Source: Rolls-RoyceCurrently, the company is on track to deliver these. However, it has also warned that this trend will be "progressive, but not necessarily linear".So far under Erginbilgiç, progress has arguably been linear. But he's repeatedly warned about "geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures". Any or all of these issues could worsen and quickly send the stock into reverse.The waiting gameCharlie Munger famously said: "The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting."Unfortunately, the waiting part can also be the hardest because there's the inevitable rollercoaster ride of emotions that come with it. I need to keep in mind that Rolls-Royce stock has declined significantly multiple times on the road to considerable gains. It could easily plunge again, so I have to be ready for that.But assuming nothing fundamentally alters the growth story, my plan would be to keep holding through the next downturn, and even be ready to buy more shares.

Interesting article on this Mach 25 Reaction engine, if it comes off what a machine !! Rolls Royce-backed Reaction Engines scrambles for new fundingA British company aiming to pioneer hypersonic flight and which counts Boeing and Rolls Royce Holdings among its backers is scrambling to raise new funding amid a squeeze on cashflow.Sky News has learnt that Reaction Engines, which is based in Oxfordshire, has appointed advisers to raise fresh capital.Shareholders in the company, which also include the FTSE-100 arms manufacturer BAE Systems, have been informed about the efforts to secure new money in recent weeks.Silverpeak, an advisory firm, has been appointed to orchestrate the fundraising, with the company believed to be in need of tens of millions of pounds more capital.Reaction, which was founded in 1989, is chaired by Philip Dunne, a former defence minister.A specialist in developing advanced propulsion systems, the company is developing a new type of engine aimed at powering aircraft to Mach 25 putside the Earth's atmosphere.In an update to investors, seen by Sky News, Mr Dunne said its financial performance last year had "not been in line with our forecasts".Warning that Reaction Engines would also be lossmaking this year, he added: "Although the company has a successful track record of raising capital it is clear market conditions are tougher than when we last raised new equity in 2022."In January last year, it announced it had raised £40m of additional equity, taking the total sum it had banked from investors to roughly £150m."As an emerging technology company we have always sought to be prudent in managing our costs; however, we took additional steps to control costs and focus investment in areas that will support near-term revenue generation," Mr Dunne wrote."As a result, we were able to keep the loss for 2023 broadly in line with our budget for the year.""It became apparent during [the first quarter] that there was a continuing mismatch between the resource we had added in anticipation of growth and development of the sales pipeline."He added the company's workforce had been cut earlier this year, with its leadership structure simplified.Reaction Engines' ability to attract interest and funding from some of the world's biggest aerospace companies underlines the excitement it has galvanised among both strategic and financial investors.Its shareholders also include Schroders, Baillie Gifford Asset Management and the UAE's Strategic Development Fund.Reaction Engines declined to comment on its quest for new funding.More from Sky News

Target upgrade for Rolls-Royce as confidence grows


A hot stock since 2022, analysts and investors continue to back the dramatic turnaround in fortunes at the iconic engineer. City writer Graeme Evans explains the latest boost.

Revisiting its valuation ahead of half-year results on 1 August, Deutsche Bank said its upgrade from 465p reflected increased confidence that Rolls will deliver on 2027 targets.

Its new estimate represents further upside of more than 20% for the FTSE 100-listed stock, which has soared from 152p in July 2023 to last week’s peak of 488.5p.

Rolls has since retreated to its lowest level of the month at 453.3p, including today’s reverse of 18p, after the warning by Airbus that supply chain challenges have continued, which has led to weakness for stocks across the aerospace sector.

The Rolls decline to its lowest level since early June was seized upon by some retail investors, who chose to top up their holdings or get on board for the first time.

Rolls was this morning’s most traded share on the interactive investor platform, with the vast majority of these dealings to buy the shares.

The surge in demand came despite Airbus warning that it now expects about 770 civil aerospace deliveries in 2024 compared with a previous forecast of 800 in April. It also pushed back its target for a production rate of 75 A320 family aircraft a month from 2026 to 2027.

The company said last night: “Airbus is facing persistent specific supply chain issues mainly in engines, aerostructures and cabin equipment.”

Its relationship with Rolls is focused on the widebody market, with the fuel-efficient Trent XWB engine powering the A350 family of aircraft and the Trent 700 on the A330.

The warning comes after Rolls chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic warned in February’s annual results that supply chain challenges were likely to continue for 18-24 months.

He reiterated the issue in the company’s most recent trading update in May, when he told the AGM that his work to turn Rolls into a “high-performing, competitive, resilient and growing business” was continuing with pace and intensity.

Among Erginbilgic’s medium-term targets are to quadruple operating profit from the 2022 baseline to £2.5-2.8 billion and for an operating margin at least as competitive as peers. He is also looking to grow sustainable cash flows to between £2.8-3.1 billion.

His confidence in May that guidance for 2024 will be met has underpinned City expectations for further upside in the share price, with UBS last week highlighting a price target of 550p. Recent credit rating upgrades by Fitch and S&P have also boosted hopes that Rolls will soon be in a position to resume dividend payments.

Deutsche Bank added today: “The first quarter update provided evidence that execution at Rolls-Royce is improving.

“While our 2024-2027 estimates are broadly unchanged, our degree of confidence in the company's ability to deliver on its transformation programme has increased.”

Rolls-Royce eyes £1.4bn profit as turnaround continues. But could the long lost dividend return?


Rolls-Royce investors will get a clear picture of the company’s turnaround under new chief Tufan Erginbilgiç when the engineering giant reports its full-year results on Thursday.

Analysts are forecasting an underlying operating profit of between £1bn and £1.4bn after Erginbilgiç raised expectations in July.

There is also growing speculation that Rolls-Royce could return to the dividend list after a four-year post-pandemic absence.

Investors have been impressed by the new boss’s no-nonsense cost-cutting approach, as he looks to trim debts and improve profits, and both metrics will be in the spotlight next week.

Increased demand for its jet engines and a boom in military spending globally have also been key to its success over the last year.

Shares topped the FTSE 100 last year and it was the only stock in the UK’s headline index to have more than doubled over the past 12 months.

But the City will need clarity that 2023’s remarkable turnaround will continue into 2024. Analysts are looking for hefty increases in both underlying operating profit and free cash flow, to £1.7bn and £1.6bn.

By 2027, Rolls-Royce is aiming for £2.5bn to £2.8bn in underlying profit and free cash flow of £2.8bn to £3.1bn.

“Rolls-Royce has gone from being a ‘burning platform,’ to use the words of chief executive Tufan Erginbilgiç, to the hottest stock in the FTSE 100,” Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said.

“That gain is partly attributable to the no-nonsense self-help programme launched by Erginbilgiç since his arrival in January 2023, partly to the rebound in international travel and air traffic after the end of lockdowns, partly to the return to favour of defence-related companies and partly down to investors’ enthusiasm for the medium-term financial targets for 2027 laid down by the new boss at a meeting last November.”

On Thursday’s results, he added: “Investors will also look for further reductions in net debt, helped by that free cash flow but also the planned £1bn to £1.5bn disposal programme, and be on the look-out for any updates on both Rolls-Royce’s plans for its small modular nuclear reactors and the XWB97 jet engine, which attracted criticism from Emirates when the airline explained why it had not bought any Airbus A350-1000 aircraft.”
