Littlepost my guess is that come results day in February 2024 they are most likely to be in a position to paint a picture of any dividend payment/dates going forward.

NTC > To be fair Standard & Poor's (S&P) has not yet announced a timeline for when it will upgrade Rolls-Royce to investment grade. However, the company has been making progress in recent months that could lead to an upgrade in the near future.

In October 2023, RR reported a third-quarter underlying operating profit of £173 million, up from £133 million in the same quarter of 2022. The company also raised its full-year underlying operating profit guidance to £450 million-£500 million, up from £400 million-£450 million previously.

RR improving financial performance is a key factor that S&P will consider when deciding whether to upgrade the company to an investment grade. Other factors that S&P will consider include RR debt levels, its free cash flow, and its long-term growth prospects.

Analysts believe that RR could be upgraded to investment grade as early as 2024. However, the timing of an upgrade will ultimately depend on the company's continued financial performance and the overall market environment.

Here are some of the factors that could lead to an upgrade of RR to investment grade:

Continued improvement in RR financial performance

Reduction in RR debt levels

Increase in RR free cash flow

Improvement in the overall market environment

Here are some of the factors that could delay an upgrade of RR to investment grade:

A deterioration in RR financial performance

An increase in RR debt levels

A decrease in RR free cash flow

A worsening of the overall market environment

Overall, the outlook for RR is positive. The company is making progress in improving its financial performance and reducing its debt levels. If RR can continue to make progress on these fronts, it is likely to be upgraded to investment grade in the near future.

NTC > All 7 narratives are SPOT.ON Final ignition and take off may come when the rating agencies' standard & poor upgrade the status to investment grade then the gate gets closed very quickly on the short sellers and this could be happening as early as 2024 so fasten your belts.

Aye sinpants, that's right we're all in the know. It's like the sailing ship taking a breather before setting sail again. We need to consolidate our gains and prepare for the next push forward.

Aye, Peakdred, a hearty thanks from the captain. Yesterday's volume was the highest we've seen since the SP broke out from 1.55 back in late July and the third-highest daily volume we've traded this year. We've seen three accumulation spike periods: the first in January/March, the second in July/August, and now the third in October/November. A close today above 238.3 would be our fifteenth consecutive daily higher low close. Steady as she goes, lads!

There was a huge volume spike and buying of around 2 million shares at 2.47 1013 hours earlier.

Gents > SP500 closed above 4500 for the 2nd day in a row and has now had higher lows for the last 14 consecutive days as well finishing the day with an inside day bar. 2/3 months of down-trending recovered in only 14 days is fairly bullish trade action. Above 4600 and the skies are blue.

OTC Good post > SP still flying north Day 14 of higher lows maybe it's time for some turbulence soon who knows what this Friday has in store

Urzz - I understand and share your frustration with regard to the WHT for ISA/SIPP holders but maybe a better way forward is to raise the question directly to the company and ask them to look into it.?

SullyWorld maybe you are right however IMO if SPX closes above 4640 and/or 4818 and there are year-end signs that SMR deals are incoming then anything is possible also remember Tufan himself said these orders were just in a holding ''position'' I for one am more than happy to wait but only time shall tell who is right or wrong. GLA

CEVO, well thanks for that and glad to note/confirm we seem to have the same consensus on price targets for the current month for the end of November data. The tea leaves beyond November 28 have not been brewed yet and await fresh incoming data points between now and the end of the Month which now is only 2 weeks away.

Cevo > Fair point my initial price prediction/projection remains as suggested to our CAT on Monday, Nov 13:

''NTC above 237 and 245/255 beaming down on the monthly chart and only 17 days left for a favourable seasonality in November interesting few weeks lie ahead.'' My guess is the Turkish deals is probably already baked into the current price. The Emirates one on the other hand seems more like a business on a JoJo and/or Cat & Mouse game.. On the flying hours, they have already been noted as above pre-covid levels it's just the lag time that has to be factored into the equation.

I too would also like to hear your price target since you are the financial guy. Would be interesting to compare notes with TA (AKA tea leaf readings)

OTC Like your post my friend thank you another day bites the dust still flying strong on day 13 of higher lows. The MA's are great, the rainbow bowtie is now visible on the weekly charts. (Landed July 2019 then airborne by July 2023)

OTC

Agree the USA markets are back on fire on all cylinders following the CPI print this morning.

''RR despite being short-term oversold is still above the tight moving average in orange. Hold.''

Sorry mate I disagree how can the stock be oversold with another higher low on the daily chart and we hit fresh intraday highs today?

Sheltie 100% btw day 12 with higher lows on the daily chart still flying in a northerly direction

NTC above 237 and 245/255 beaming down on the monthly chart and only 17 days left for a favourable seasonality in November interesting few weeks lie ahead.

As mentioned Nov 1 ''Keep your seatbelt fastened November is going to be a turbulent month. The Oct 30 SP was at 200 and today close to 220 that's a rocket move of 10 % in under 3 days.. Once closing above 223 skies are blue and the 250/255 area looks to align concurrently with a trendline toch on a descending triangle. DYOR IMOO GLA''

Well, today's close above 230 one might even conclude that we are right on schedule unless any unexpected turbulence arrives. NTC what are your whiskers picking up anything incoming on your end or are you sitting just calmly enjoying the cream just now?

Cevo thank you hope you have a great one as well, all the best ;-)

Sheltie is correct and it's day 10 of daily consecutive higher lows since Oct 30 and also closed higher than the September 15 high by 0.20p which equates to a fresh 3-year closing high. It's fair to say the SP is now well above the clouds and blue skies lie ahead. GLA and have a great weekend
