Posted at 13/1/2025 05:19 by thegrafter UK Will Explore Nuclear Power for New AI Data Center Plan The UK is planning special districts for constructing data centers and will explore dedicating nuclear energy to the sites as part of a Labour government project to boost technology growth and the ecosystem for artificial intelligence.Author of the article:Bloomberg NewsThese "AI Growth Zones" will include enhanced access to electricity and easier planning approvals for data centers, the government said on Sunday. It said the first such zone will be in Culham, home of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. The government will form an energy council, composed of public and private officials, that will explore powering the data centers with small modular reactors that rely on nuclear fission technology. The latest AI systems are incredibly energy intensive, and the explosion of interest in the field has prompted a hunt for new sources of power across the globe. The plan is part of a broader set of proposals to harness AI for public services, expand supercomputing projects and attract technical talent to the UK. Vantage Data Centers said it will invest more than £12 billion ($14.6 billion) in data centers across the UK as part of the initiative. Nscale, another data center company, said it will spend $2.5 billion over three years. Keir Starmer's Labour party has framed AI as central to its economic agenda, but has been slow to introduce policies and faced criticism for confusing early messaging on the topic. Britian's bond market is currently in turmoil, a sign that investors have lost faith in the government's ability to manage debt. |

From: Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street, The Rt Hon Jonathan Reynolds MP and The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP Published 4 December 2024 Qatar to invest £1 billion in climate technology, boosting the UK’s position as a clean energy superpower British engineering giant Rolls-Royce to benefit from investment in projects supporting the clean energy transition The Prime Minister and His Highness The Amir of Qatar will mark this initial milestone in the new UK-Qatar clean energy partnership in Downing Street as part of the Qatar State Visit The partnership is expected to create thousands of jobs across the UK and in Doha over its lifetime The UK’s status as a clean energy superpower has received a further boost as a landmark agreement with Qatar reaches a significant milestone, solidifying £1 billion of investment in climate technology. The partnership is expected to create thousands of highly skilled jobs over its lifetime and will see the launch of world-leading climate technology hubs across the UK and Qatar to accelerate development in climate-friendly technologies. This includes investment in technology programmes by British engineering giant Rolls-Royce that improve energy efficiency, support new sustainable fuels and lower carbon emissions. It will also see investment into start-ups in the UK and Qatar focusing on energy efficiency, carbon management, and green power. During Qatar’s State Visit to the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and His Highness The Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will mark the agreement in Downing Street, following Qatar’s confirmation of its initial commitment of £1 billion. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: I am proud that Qatar has chosen to base this global partnership here in the UK and I am delighted that the project is getting off the ground with this initial £1 billion commitment. Qatar and Rolls-Royce pursuing these opportunities in climate technology is a significant step in our ambition to become a clean energy superpower and further evidence that the UK is one of the best places in the world for companies to develop those technologies. We’re delivering on our promise to make growth our number one priority, by boosting our partnerships with other forward-looking partners to invest in UK industry and create thousands of highly-skilled jobs in the industries of the future. Prime Minister of Qatar HE Sheikh Mohammed Abdulrahman al Thani said: We are delighted to formally launch this groundbreaking partnership. The United Kingdom has a proud history of innovation in cutting edge technology, and Qatar has long been a trusted investment partner to British businesses. This new collaboration aligns with our long-term strategy to invest in the economies of the future. We welcome the formalisation of our strategic relationship with Rolls-Royce. Qatar is already one of the largest purchasers of Rolls-Royce engines for Qatar Airways and a major investor in the small modular reactor nuclear industry. This new partnership further strengthens Qatar’s position as a leading global investor in climate technologies. We welcome the creation of highly skilled jobs in both Qatar and the UK, and look forward to welcoming a diverse range of businesses to Doha as part of the Rolls-Royce partnership. Tufan Erginbilgic, CEO, Rolls-Royce, said: In the last two years we have made significant progress in the transformation of Rolls-Royce. This announcement is further evidence of our progress to create a highly competitive and fast-growing company. Enabling the energy transition through lower carbon technologies is a key part of our strategy. We are delighted to welcome Qatar as a strategic partner, who will support the growth of these technologies. They share our ambition to make an impact on the challenge of climate change. It is expected that climate technology hubs delivered through the partnership will be developed across the UK, alongside universities, industry, free ports and the Qatar Free Zone to leverage the UK’s expertise. Sites in Qatar will also enable start-ups to access markets and opportunities in both countries – paving the way for further inward investment. Marking a new milestone in decades of innovation and collaboration between the UK and Qatar, the deal will accelerate the two countries’ flourishing investment relationship. The partnership will generate jobs, growth and investment in both countries and is further evidence of the UK’s desirability as an investment destination as well as underlining the strength of the relationship between Qatar and Rolls-Royce. Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: Increasing investment in the UK is a mission at the heart of this government. This partnership between Rolls-Royce and Qatar is not only a huge vote of confidence in the UK but will also help create thousands of highly skilled jobs. Our commitment to becoming a clean energy superpower is steadfast, and investments like these make a huge contribution to bolstering the UK as a leader in climate technology. We’re showing investors that Britain is back as a stable place to do business, helping to secure the investment needed to make every part of our country better off. In a further boost for the UK-Qatar future-facing partnership, the UK and Qatar will also pursue closer ties to seize the enormous potential of genomics – the study of our DNA – to overhaul healthcare, as well as for work focusing on AI’s scope to drive economic growth and make public services more efficient. The two countries have unveiled plans to set up a shared Genomics Medicine Academy, and a joint commission on AI research. This is part of the UK and Qatar’s commitment to closer ties on science and technology. The UK-Qatar Strategic Dialogue, launched in 2022, is also being upgraded to encompass science, innovation and technology: a reflection of both countries’ big ambitions when it comes to unleashing the potential of science and tech to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing us all – from delivering economic growth to improving public health. |
Posted at 09/10/2024 10:59 by thegrafter 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-Ro |
Posted at 13/9/2024 05:43 by foreverbull 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.c |
Posted at 22/8/2024 08:21 by thegrafter 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.Investo |
Posted at 13/8/2024 09:17 by freddie01 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. RR: is this perennial leader facing new challenges? With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Sure, there are always opportunities in the stock market – but finding them feels more difficult now than a year ago. Unsure where to invest next? One of the best ways to discover new high-potential opportunities is to look at the top performing portfolios this year.

Posted at 04/7/2024 00:37 by thegrafter 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 |
Posted at 18/2/2024 07:14 by freddie01 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.” |
