Well done PD, many are in the same boat.
Good to see Citi upgrading to 431p (a hefty hike) and the dividend will soon be restored FY 2024 (1.63p initial consensus and perhaps higher seeing the stellar improvement).
£3.50 seems to be a reasonable expectation in the New Year.
At present, the consensus forecast for 2024 is a distribution of 1.63p per share. At the current share price, that equates to a yield of around 1.1%.
Dividend RR:
It’s worth noting here that the 2024 forecast has risen a fair bit recently. A month ago, the projection for next year was closer to 1.3p per share. The estimate may rise further now that the company’s performance is improving.
Citi lifts Rolls-Royce price target after CMD
(Sharecast News) - Citi lifted its price target on Rolls-Royce on Monday to 431p from 294p as it increased its forecasts after the engine maker's capital markets day.
The bank said its earnings per share forecasts were up 27% in the near term and 52% in the long term, and the target price lifted, driven by "very strong" cash generation.
"In the near term, we believe cash flow will be helped by working capital unwind, but expect the medium term FCF of well over 30p per share (31p in 2025 rising to 38p in 2028) will be sustainable and should be valued accordingly," Citi said.
"Modelling of the net LTSA creditors shows continued growth in the £0.8-1.2bn per year range, driven by fleet growth, but also taking into account of increasing engine overhauls (good for profit, bad for cash)."
At 1010 GMT, the shares were up 1.8% at 294.50p.
