How do we think the week ahead will play out?

Dow, S&P500 & Nasdaq futures all down between 1 - 1.2%

But, we have an AGM coming up and a potential US/UK trade deal on the horizon

Why bother running a staged selection process if Bill can turn up at the 11th hour and get an order? I can't see the other competitors or the UK Gov allowing it.

Small drop on open again. Likely due to the negative comments from Powell yesterday and the resultant pull back in US markets. A good opportunity to top up!

I was under the impression the Beta rating was a product of the price swings rather than the other way around? Either way its not a bad thing if you aren't checking the price regularly (I am guilty of this) !

Indeed its all been a bit disruptive but at least there is chatter on the board. I have put the filter function to use to keep the daft posters off my feed :)

RR Seems to be taking a bit of a battering today. Its always interested me how RR is a lot more volatile compared to its peers. On a good day it raises much more, but on a bad day it tends to drop a lot more! BAE is steady as a rock in comparision!

The Dividend is not 6% its 6p per share (About 0.83% at the current price)

SprintRS while you are thinking about it logically you need to remember the shareprice is not always based on logic. Something I have observed having been in dividend stocks for a while is that stocks frequently rallies up to the Ex-Div date and retraces afterwards. I assume this is because there are people that trade frequently chasing dividends or want to spend the money they have invested but think 'I may as well wait for the Ex-div date before I sell'. That said you usually see a nice bump on the day the divs are paid as most people will re-invest dividend cash :)

Ex-Div is stated as the 17th April under the 'RR. Financial Diary' tab above ^

A small lift before the Ex-Div date I guess? Unless Oranga-trump says something daft could we see a modest raise again tomorrow?

Good thoughts here Jimbo. This is a discussion board after all not an echo chamber so it's worth having a proper debate about the positives and the negatives.

On balance I think the positives will outweigh the negatives in my opinion. I'd imagine more operators will be looking towards engine and aircraft manufacturers that won't be applying Tariffs any time soon. Dividends, Narrow body, SMR and buy backs will help keep the price bouyant in the short to medium term. With that in mind if there is bad news on the horizon at the May 1st AGM a say, 10% drop would give a fantastic opportunity to top up before the hotly anticipated SMR announcement in June, which would be a bigger uplift than we would potentially see from a negative AGM. All my opinion of course. GLA

9.30 USD is around £7.13 equivalent. Could mean a positive start to the week next week if it keeps climbing like it is at the moment.

All the best for the weekend everyone. I'm enjoying an ice cold Ginger beer and Whisky in the sunshine ☀️

Why there are still sells going in at 695p is beyond me. I get take profit at 740p but clearly lots of sells going in below £7! Hey ho. I'm sure it will see a small rally as we close in on the 17th

I was nearly right, just about 30 minutes early lol.

Blimey huge sell off this morning. I couldnt imagine selling at 707p but here we are. A crazy drop from open. It'll be below £7 by 9:30am at this rate!

Rycey didn't close anywhere near 20%, so hopefully UK wallets and purses come out in force to make some big buys !

BAE has gone green again so anything is possible!

Morning everyone! Bumpy few days its been. Lets relax on the personal attacks and trying to one up one another on who was right or wrong. I dont think anyone was able to foresee the scale of the carnage we all experienced!

On paper I lost a lot of money and its put some plans on hold for the foreseeable BUT, I am still in good health (my hairline may not be, lol), the sun is shining and the earth is still spinning. I'm looking forwards to taking my dog for a nice walk in the sunshine this evening and cracking a beer in the garden when I get home. Best of luck everyone going forwards and I'm looking forwards to the light hearted laughs we can all enjoy when the RR share price is flying high once again :)

Fortune favours the brave and all that. Went all in on 3X.

If we can't talk about the fundamentals of RR on a RR board I dont know where we can!

Tariffs are not going to effect every company in the same way though, are they? Half of my portfolio is green this morning. RR is buying shares every day and we have the Ex-Div date a couple of weeks away, likely a SMR accouncement on the horizon too.

Feel free to sell all your shares Mr Ford. But this storm i'll be weathering, thanks.

Curtains for the economy, losing money etc. Guys calm down. If you could buy shares for £4.26 would you? That is what the share price was this time last year, it then dropped to about £3.95 within a week. I remember comments on here exactly the same people moaning about how much money they 'lost'. I imagine lots of people sold then and must be kicking themselves that they didnt get to enjoy the ride up to £5, £6, £7, £8. Keep the faith and you'll be rewarded when RR is selling Narrow body engines and powering numerous countries all over the world with SMR power.

The fundamentals have not changed. The tariff's wont impact RR like it will companies working off huge margins producing in far east sweat shops and selling for a premium in the US (Nike, Apple etc). The markets have endured a pandemic and war in europe in the last few years, it can live through some tangerine tariffs

Also worth noting Seb Gorka on Newnight last night said the Tariffs are NOT permanent and a shot across the bow to get the US the trade deals it wants. I suspect the hysteria will die down quickly and we'll be well on our way to the 800's again soon
