👍My favourite British housebuilder 100 % Paul's video hit the nail on the head and Greg's solid 42 years of experience is very sound indeed onward and upwards

Nice capital appreciation heading into the mid-teens following another £100 million BB commencing in April

Remain on track for closing out this week with 20 higher closing lows and the combined average estimate from analysts is £ 413.13 only 20p away could be jumping up there by easter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzYplxl_RAc

Let's take a look at this company's stock price. Over the past year, the price has soared from 65 pence to nearly 400 pence! That's an increase of almost 500%! This impressive climb follows 18 months of steady growth, and the stock even won an award for being the best performer on the FTSE in 2023!

However, it's important to be aware of potential challenges ahead. Just like birds have seasonal flight patterns, some experts predict the stock market might experience some turbulence between May and October. This shouldn't necessarily deter us in the short term, though, because the stock price seems drawn towards its all-time high of 444 pence!

In simpler terms, the stock has done very well recently, but we should be cautious about possible difficulties later this year. In the meantime, though, things seem positive!

Parkdread I aimed for 378 by Easter which has now attained the afterburn and the fair wind is catching up and pushing us forward towards the 4th barrier with its peak in sight at 437 the previous high back in January 2014 the next main target.

The target price as of today is based on 19 combined estimates from analysts covering the company which comes in at £ 413.13

Hopefully, we shall see an update & confirmation they remain on schedule to return £1B to shareholders within 3 years i.e. by 2026.

The conclusion is that both Apple and Rolls-Royce Aerospace Engineering have strong moats that protect them from competition, but in very different ways:

Apple: Thrives in the fast-paced consumer technology space with a strong brand, leading-edge technology, and a tightly integrated ecosystem that creates high switching costs for users. Security is also a growing factor in their moat.

Rolls-Royce: Dominates the commercial aerospace industry due to its long-standing reputation, technical expertise, and established relationships with major aircraft manufacturers. Their aftermarket services and potential leadership in the SMR market further solidify their position. Additionally, government contracts in aerospace might necessitate stricter security protocols, adding another layer to their moat.

Ultimately, the "better" moat depends on the specific industry and the factors most crucial for success within that domain.

Key Differences:

Industry: Apple in consumer technology, Rolls-Royce in commercial aerospace (vastly different markets).

Focus: Apple on user experience and ecosystem, Rolls-Royce on technical expertise and partnerships.

Overall:

Both Apple and Rolls-Royce have strong moats in their respective industries. Apple's strength lies in its brand, technology, and ecosystem, while Rolls-Royce excels in technical expertise, established partnerships, and potential for leadership in the SMR market.

SprintRS I love a little challenge like the 'motley fool' let us compare Moats: Apple vs. Rolls-Royce

Here's a 'first hand' comparison of moats between Apple and Rolls-Royce Aerospace:

Apple

Brand Reputation: A strong global brand for innovation, design, and quality translates to customer trust and premium paid-for Apple products and services.

Leading-Edge Technology: Heavy investment in R&D keeps Apple at the forefront of consumer technology, crucial in the fast-paced tech industry.

Ecosystem Lock-in: The Apple ecosystem (hardware, software, services) creates a strong moat. Switching requires users to rebuild their digital lives within a new ecosystem.

High Switching Costs: Apple users become accustomed to the user interface, software features, and ecosystem integration. Switching requires learning a new system and potentially repurchasing apps and data.

Security: Apple prioritizes user data security and privacy. Their closed ecosystem allows for tighter control over hardware and software, potentially making it more difficult for security breaches.

Rolls-Royce Aerospace Engineering

Technical Expertise & Legacy: A long and distinguished history in aerospace engineering signifies expertise in designing and manufacturing high-performance jet engines.

High Barriers to Entry: The capital-intensive aerospace industry requires significant investment in R&D and manufacturing facilities, making it difficult for new players to compete.

Customer Relationships: Strong relationships with major aircraft manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing create a stable demand for Rolls-Royce engines and a barrier for new entrants.

Aftermarket Services: Comprehensive aftermarket services (maintenance, repair, overhaul) for their engines generate recurring revenue and create a switching cost for airlines reliant on Rolls-Royce engines.

Government Contracts: Rolls-Royce often participates in government-backed aerospace programs, securing funding and development partnerships for advanced technologies. This can give them a leading edge in areas like military jet engines.

Additional Considerations:

Security: While both companies prioritize security, Rolls-Royce's involvement in government contracts might necessitate stricter security protocols for classified information and technology.

Renewable Nuclear Energy (SMR): Rolls-Royce is at the forefront of developing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for cleaner energy generation. If successful, this could create a new revenue stream and position them as a leader in the clean energy transition. However, this is a developing field with uncertain timelines for commercialization.

Bernstein maintains its market perform recommendation and raises the target price from 340 to GBX 420.

Ronr well said at the end of the day once RR get rerated they eventually kick the ball into another playing field so to speak and new rules and measures come into play that we have not seen in operation for years. SMRs are firmly in a holding position at present yet more likely to be landed than abandoned. RR advance, experience and know-how are second to none. IMOO DYOR

Yes, solid results and nice to hear that the pipeline is firmly on track for new additions to join the 'family'.

Nettles sorry I think the poster and t-shirt have to be reprinted/updated soon and maybe to read £14 however this forecast to land at this level is not until 2028 I know it is another 400 % up in the air and is hard to consume but since this quadrupling has been already aired by Turbo Tufan himself at the market day last year I am keenly becoming a fellow sheep following his path of vision and transformation solely taking place in his time. NB we were already over £ 10 back in 2018 so with a couple of BB between and then the focus/compass is locked in on this target price for now. GLA and DYOR ETC

*Longer

Roger that Nettles agrees 100 % a bit like Nividia today SP fully thrust up then imploded by 10% then just returned to the skies skyrocketing back up leaving the masses behind not a stock for my temperament to be honest I am happy with rolls both short and more importantly much onger term.

UPDATE > The combined consensus from all 19 analysts covering the company is now an SP target of £419.33 thus remaining on schedule and still climbing north. Happy Friday 👀

Spot.on Peakdread - Charts and your "meteors" can be a great combo.

The chartist is like your navigator, expertly reading the currents (price trends) and spotting potential hazards (resistance levels). You're the captain, though, keeping an eye out for new trade winds (upcoming events) that could blow the course in your favour (towards that £7+ land).

So, you chart the course with the technical analysis, then adjust the sails with your knowledge of upcoming news and events. Together, you've got a recipe for a smooth (and hopefully profitable) voyage!

Eksample:

Rising Momentum (28): Since the momentum is rising, it implies that the rate of price increase is accelerating. This suggests that buyers are becoming more active and pushing the price higher. However, there are some important things to keep in mind:

Not a crystal ball: A rising momentum indicator doesn't guarantee future price increases. It simply shows a trend in buying pressure.

Consider the context: Look at the indicator along with other technical indicators and market conditions. A rising momentum might be less significant if other indicators are showing signs of weakness.

Confirmation: For stronger confirmation, look for the price itself to be rising alongside the momentum indicator.

Here's an analogy: Imagine momentum as a car's speedometer. A rising speedometer tells you the car is accelerating, but it doesn't tell you where it's going or if it will run out of gas.

Overall, a rising momentum at 28 is a positive sign suggesting increasing buying pressure. But remember, it's just one piece of the puzzle. Use it alongside other factors to make informed trading decisions.

(Currently, @80 on the daily and generally, a value above 50 suggests upward momentum, while below 50 indicates downward momentum.)

Ahoy there! ⛵

No worries, on the dunce hat front! While charts themselves can't predict the future with a crystal ball, they're like a financial weather vane – they show you which way the wind has been blowing and can hint at where it might go next.

Those future events you mentioned, the SMRs, dividends, and party hats (wait, is that narrow body movement?), act like surprise rain showers. They can change things up, but by understanding the chartist's perspective, you're prepared for both sunshine and sprinkles.

Think of it this way: you wouldn't dismiss a meteorologist for not predicting a rogue meteor strike, right? They use data to show trends, and you use that info along with your knowledge of potential disruptions – like a business announcement being the meteor in this analogy (minus the whole fiery destruction part, hopefully).

So, the chartists and you can coexist peacefully. They focus on the historical compass, and you keep an eye out for the upcoming storms (or windfalls!).

Likewise agree mate we are on the same ship mate let's call it a Turbo Tufan Budget when it eventually lands at its ultimate final destination high up in the northern skies AGW. GLA
