Morning Westy,
I remember in 2013 when Rolls had a massive influx of new starters. Why? They predicted air travel would double between 2013 and ironically 2023. “Airbus couldn’t built planes fast enough for the projected increase in air travel over the next ten years”
The SP rose from I think £8.50 odd in mid 2013 to its pinnacle of £12.87 in early Jan 2014. Back then, there were 1.88 billion shares in issue. MCap = 24.2B. So in todays money, £2.89 a share.
Link can be provided to these figures?
Question, Is the future as bright now as it was back in 2013?
Also, do not forget the sale of RR Hucknall to ITP that is on the last Financials
On a side note, to the cost of employment, in 2020 basic pay just under 33k . With shift pay, 40k. The cost to RR to employ was 61.5k a year. They have re-written contract terms for the ‘older’ boys to bring in line with starters since 2005 towards company contributions with regard to pension payments which will save them about 3.6k per year per employee on the shop floor.
Although, company contributions towards staff payments by the company are far higher! It looks like most of the redundancies will be staff. I’d expect the savings to run well over 100m
Not advice or a view. Just some realities
