Ive heard they're pushing orders back as they've made enough money for the Q... which would suggest they're going to at least hit their targets..... whether hitting targets is good enough for the market ????.

"How does one get a Hoe tattoo," - ohhh Badlands - We can always rely on you.... :-)

This share has for me (like many on this board) been life changing. Rather than work until 65 I have a chance of retiring at 52 / 53 depending on how quickly the SP reaches my target.... I am currently 100% tattoo free however I have (for an unknown reason) recently wanted to get my first piece of body art... I had settled on a "groot" (my son opened my eyes to Marvel films and Guardians of the Galaxy is a favourite of mine....) but now I'm thinking that I should get something to remind me of the good fortune that is RR.... But what should I get? the classic RR symbol? An engine? Something more obscure? Peakdread, 52, Derby (possibly having a mid life crisis....)

Without wanting to state the "bleedin obvious" - If RR can make reactors for submarines you would have thought they can make them for ships.....

Another blue day - can't grumble.

There's a lot of "outdated" prices at the moment. Barclays is at 540, Citi at 641, Berenberg is still holding onto 240.... (!!!), Bernstein at 630.... The analysts can't keep up with Royces :-) These should all be upgraded in the next month or so (apart from Berenberg who will hold at 240 for dear life seemingly just to annoy people).

so we're now upto 48 guesses with an average of 11.01. i may have missed your guess if you posted it outside of this thread but 48 opinions from this knowledgeable board gives us a good idea of where everyone sees this share going (in the short term). full list of guesses so far below. still a day to get a punt in if you so wish.

Better than the figures released the other day (private sector jobs??)... They were expecting an increase of 95K jobs and got a decrease of 33K... Get those tea leaves booted up, stick your finger in the air and leave the right answer on the poll...... :-)

FTSE 250 + .8%, FTSE 100 + .5% - The economy is fine (GDP doing fine), RR SP wobble is just noise. What I'm witnessing is every time something quite minor goes wrong it is amplified inextricably by the press - whereas when things go right (such as the latest GDP figues) it is summarily ignored. I'll say it again - The Tories had 14 years in power - and brought the country to its knees. Labour have been in 5 minutes - whatever your politics just give them a bit of time and space and see what they can do. It was an overwhelming "will of the people" that got them into power - the least we can do is allow them a chance to govern without jumping on their backs every 5 seconds.

I was elated a few days ago after a series of good days brought the SP to a level which breached a personal milestone (for my "pot"). A bad day yesterday and a "meh" day today brought me back to reality. Let's not forget this share was 588 at the beginning of January. It now stands at 943. That's a 60% increase in just over 6 months. DESPITE already rallying from sub £1 to get to January's 588 figure in almost exactly 2 years (an increase of 488%). Many of us think this share could quite easily get to £12 / £13 by the end of the year (which would "only" be a 27% increase from where we are today (for £12) and a 37% increase to reach £13. I understand the frustrations from some members who are hit badly when there are blips due to the nature of their investments but to anyone holding shares and not neeeding the cash.... It is that 1 in a thousand share that just keeps producing. Onwards and Upwards.

Anymore for anymore? Svend? How are the Tea Leaves looking??

Where's Ar5enal when you need him. He'd be filling us in with the latest disasters about to hit the airwaves. Instead he cashed in at 5.46 to go cruising.....

Slightly ironic...

Yes farrnoth - price at COP on 31st July.

We're upto 44 guesses at an average of 11.08 - which is a 15.5% increase on todays price..... Svend is still arranging his tea leaves and will hopefully joing the discussion soon with his learned prediction. "Mr £7 come February 2025" (AKA NTC / Nettles The Cat / JTT) has guessed 10.57. Lowest guess so far is investorintheknow at 9.78 and most optimistic guess is £13 by Seen it Done it.... I'd be very happy with 11.08 in July. You'd think if the Orange one doesn't do anything truly stupid that 11.08 could set us up for £13 / £14 by December???

So far we have 15 guesses with an 11.41 average - with only one person colouring outside the lines (setting up a new thread rather than replying to this one.... :-)). I'd take that... £12 has been a personal goal of mine for a while - I didn't think we'd hit it until Christmas but the current positivity (and multiple news still to come) makes me think it could be £14 by Christmas.... Who knows. Keep em coming.

What does everyone think the SP will be at close of play on 31st July? Place your guesses below. The winner gets bragging rights. I'm guessing 11.43 - on the basis that results will be stellar, RR will announce "something" between now and 31st July and the orange one doesn't mess it all up with some infantile protectionist BS. Closing date for guesses Friday 04th July. Please try and keep your guesses on this thread.

If we can avoid hiccups from the orange one there doesn't seem anything capable of stopping this momentum - His "90 deals in 90 days" fiasco is coming towards the end of the 90 days - I think he's managed 1 deal (with the UK (and it wasn't even a full trade deal)) - so who knows what he'll do when the 90 days is up....

Tinterweb says that shares are usually "immediately" cancelled when they are purchased in a share buyback - I don't know if this is shown anywhere?

RE: "The Rolls chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic this weekend confirmed that the Derby-based FTSE 100 engineer will return to the larger “narrow body” or “single aisle” market as Labour puts the move at the heart of its industrial strategy."

Has Tufan come out with a substantial statement about this (THIS weekend???). We all know from his previous comments that narrow body was a goal - has he firmed it up?
