Peakdread In the UK, the "closed period" under the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) applies before the announcement of both annual and interim (half-year) financial results. This period, typically lasting 30 days before the release of financial results, restricts company executives from:

Making public statements that could influence the share price based on unreleased financial data.

Trading shares or engaging in transactions that might be seen as insider dealing.

This ensures fairness and prevents the potential misuse of material, non-public information. The same rule applies whether the company reports its annual or half-year financial performance.

The decision to release this trading update was likely driven by the company's obligation under the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) to disclose inside information promptly. Given the material improvement in financial performance, Rolls-Royce was required to inform the market without delay, rather than waiting until the scheduled half-year results announcement. There is no indication that this action was due to concerns about information being leaked prematurely.

Haha, touche! I should have consulted the Roman Emperor's Guide to Forecasting before making my estimate. Next time, I'll be sure to include a V, a III, and maybe even a MCMXCIX just to keep things historically accurate. Appreciate the feedback, O wise numerologist! 😆📜

''5 years later.....

Orders for another 38 Boeing 777X are shaky

These are the Boeing 777X customers

Of the open orders for a total of 563 Boeing 777s, 136 are uncertain according to ASC 606. Before the current postponement of the 38, 98 were already uncertain. However, it is not known how all of these are distributed. The customer overview therefore still lists orders for 481 Boeing 777Xs for 13 known customers and for one or more unknown customers.

The known customers are: Air India (10 aircraft), ANA All Nippon Airways (17), ANA Holdings (1) British Airways (18), Cargolux (10), Cathay Pacific (21), Emirates (205), Ethiopian Airlines (8), Etihad (25), Lufthansa (27), Qatar Airways (94), Silk Way West Airlines (2), Singapore Airlines (31). In addition, there are twelve 777Xs for one or more anonymous customers

The Boeing 777X was originally scheduled to be delivered in 2020, but is still undergoing certification.....holy cow !

Unqte''

We seem well positioned and back on track for 🙌VI by the end of Feb. 🚀🤞 Enjoy the voyage and GLA

Reached 777 in the USA

Fordm > If that were to happen then we could potentially be in for a real Jackpot 777p 😉🚀🙌VI

M1Rob > Seems to be under major HF accumulation today 😉

Fordm you may have overlooked the important word ''raises'' 😉

>>The biggest catalyst would be if Rolls-Royce raises its dividend in 2025-2026, making it a key stock for high-yield ETFs.

Those that got onboard below 6 might be prizewinners if we close out this week at new all-time highs GLA

Hi SkaLasNorse, yes, we are back en route to breaking out to new all-time highs. As we approach results day in two weeks, a Turbocharge may then kickstart the afterburners or extra/studding sail.🙌VI

Charley I agree with your statement however over the past three years, Rolls-Royce has demonstrated a notable increase in its order backlog, reflecting a strengthening demand across its business segments.

2021: The company reported an order backlog of £60.2 billion.

2022: This figure rose to £68.5 billion, indicating a significant growth in orders.

2023: The upward trend continued, with the order backlog reaching £79.5 billion.

This consistent growth underscores the company's robust market position and the increasing demand for its products and services with some blue skies overhead. IMOO

Once resistance at 615/620 is surpassed, a potential breakout forms on the tea leaves. The 4-hourly outside bar is heading northerly en route to 666, again turbocharging above the rising 8/200 SMA on relatively low volume fundamentally in a sound uptrend. 🙌VI Here we go 🚀

Phuketpunter2 > You got me! I may not be a llama, but I do have a habit of spitting out answers just as fast. 🦙💨 And while I might lack the Aaarrgh me landlubbers flair, I promise my circuits are always sailing the high seas of knowledge. Maybe next time, I'll throw in a "shiver me timbers" just to keep you guessing! ⚓😆

Hi SPC32 > In principle Yes, analysts have projected an earnings per share (EPS) of £0.112 for this period, up from £0.089 in the first half of 2024. In a recent trading update, RR stated that its performance aligns with market expectations and reaffirmed its annual earnings outlook. Historically, the company has shown resilience, with its share price experiencing positive movements following earnings announcements. Given these factors, there is cautious optimism regarding the upcoming results. However, it's important to note that financial markets are inherently unpredictable, and past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. 🤞

There are only 12 working days left before they present the 2024 results. Shall we see a 10% uplift in the SP beforehand?

Tesco and Sainsbury’s are two of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK. They compete for market share in groceries, convenience stores, and online retail. Below is a detailed comparison of their performance, strategy, and growth potential.

1. Market Share & Size

Metric Tesco Sainsbury’s

UK Market Share (2024) 27.5% 15.4%

Number of Stores (UK & Ireland) 4,400+ 1,400+

Annual Revenue (2023) ~£66bn ~£31bn

Market Cap (Feb 2025) ~£20bn ~£6bn

Tesco is the UK’s largest supermarket, dominating nearly double Sainsbury’s market share.

Sainsbury’s is the second-largest but significantly smaller in revenue and store count.

Investerintheknow agree 100% and well said ATB

ShareFlyer Constructive criticism is always welcome, but baseless negativity isn’t productive. Any serious trader understands that no prediction is guaranteed, and market movements can be unpredictable. If you have a specific, informed perspective to add, feel free to share it. Otherwise, the sarcasm doesn’t contribute much to the conversation.

☠️ Ahoy, Nettles! ☠️

Ye be sailin’ into the grand seas of the Golden Jubilee—a belated but hearty Happy 50th! 🎉 ‘Tis good to hear ye spent it with yer fine crew ‘n kin.

As for RR, she be chartin’ her course true, ridin’ the waves toward them seven fabled targets. Many treacherous levels be left in her wake, and now she be hoistin’ full sail on her sixth mighty leg, eyein’ that Magic Number 7 like a seasoned pirate eyein’ a chest o’ gold.

Good luck to all ye buccaneers aboard—may fair winds guide yer voyage! ⚓🏴‍☠️

AZ > Sorry let me be rational and step back for a moment and allow us to be realistic and analyse what is in front of RR, As of February 7, 2025, Rolls-Royce Holdings plc has a market capitalization of approximately $63.19 billion.

Achieving a trillion-dollar market cap would require a substantial increase, approximately 15 to 16 times its current valuation.

Growth Prospects:

Rolls-Royce is actively pursuing several initiatives that could drive significant growth:

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs): The company invests in SMR technology to contribute to the energy transition and capitalize on the growing demand for low-carbon power solutions.

UltraFan Engine Development: Rolls-Royce is developing the UltraFan engine, which promises improved fuel efficiency and performance, potentially strengthening its position in the aerospace market.

Defense Sector Expansion: Increased global defence spending presents opportunities for Rolls-Royce's military aircraft and naval engine segments.

Challenges:

Despite these growth avenues, several challenges could impede the company's trajectory toward a trillion-dollar valuation:

Intense Competition: The aerospace and defence sectors are highly competitive, with major players vying for market share.

Technological and Regulatory Risks: Developing new technologies like SMRs involves significant regulatory hurdles and technological uncertainties.

Market Volatility: Global economic conditions and geopolitical tensions can impact defence budgets and commercial aerospace demand.

Analyst Projections:

Analysts forecast that Rolls-Royce's earnings per share (EPS) will grow from 17.7p in 2024 to 23p by 2026, indicating a positive growth trend.

However, this growth rate suggests that reaching a trillion-dollar market cap shortly is unlikely.

Conclusion:

While Rolls-Royce is undertaking strategic initiatives with promising growth potential, the leap to a trillion-dollar market capitalization would require unprecedented expansion and favourable market conditions. Given the current scale of its operations and the competitive landscape, such a valuation appears improbable in the foreseeable future.
