Rowaboat what a cool name I do wonder what the sign (>_ refers to.? meanwhile, I agree if the Middle East conflict is not contained the flying hours shall have to go off the charts.

Nothing wrong price has changed course and headed back up into its most recent trading range of between 213-223 it had an attempt to land on 200 the big round number but only got as far down to 204 before pulling back up and now back on course to test the range again.

Waccybaccy sorry to disappoint but not from ChatGPT but refreshing to note they came to the same conclusions.

''I think it spent a couple of weeks in retreat due to the markets falling but last week made good gains ..''

Stock markets are historically more volatile in October than in other months of the year. This is evident from the fact that October has seen more 1% or larger swings in the S&P 500 than any other month since 1950.

There are a number of possible explanations for the increased volatility in October. One possibility is that investors are more likely to sell stocks in October to lock in profits for the year. Another possibility is that investors are more likely to be risk-averse in October due to the proximity of the Halloween holiday.

Whatever the reason, investors should be aware of the increased volatility in October and take appropriate steps to manage their risk.

Maybe if we see the closing price above the range 213/223 then fresh new highs are in sight once the 228 resistance zone is cleared.

Mags1444 okay fair point let me rephrase and shall be happy to replace month with 'last few weeks' to better illustrate the recent pullback towards the 204 level

hope you have a nice Sunday

Rolls-Royce's share price has been on a downward trend in recent months, but who knows it might keep the recent channel 213/223 flight patch for a while longer before making a decisive deviation either way.. meanwhile, there is some great potential for a rebound in February 2025, especially if the company's small modular reactor (SMR) business takes off.

SMR is a new technology that has the potential to revolutionize the nuclear power industry. Rolls-Royce is one of the leading developers of SMRs, and its technology is considered to be among the most advanced in the world.

If Rolls-Royce is successful in commercializing its SMR technology, it could lead to a significant increase in revenue and profits for the company. This would have a positive impact on the share price.

In addition to SMR, Rolls-Royce is also well-positioned to benefit from other trends in the aerospace and defence industries, such as the growing demand for electric aircraft and the increasing militarization of space.

Overall, there is some huge potential for a rebound in Rolls-Royce's share price in February 2025, especially if the company's SMR business takes off. However, it is important to note that the share price is also influenced by a number of other factors, such as the overall state of the economy and the performance of the aerospace and defence industries.

Here is a more detailed evaluation of the factors that could affect Rolls-Royce share price in February 2025:

SMR: The success or failure of Rolls-Royce's SMR business will have a major impact on the share price. If the company is able to commercialize its SMR technology and secure a significant number of orders, it could lead to a significant increase in revenue and profits. This would have a positive impact on the share price.

Aerospace and defence industries: The aerospace and defence industries are cyclical, meaning that they experience periods of growth and decline. The current outlook for both industries is positive, but there is always the risk of a downturn. A downturn in either industry would have a negative impact on Rolls-Royce's share price.

Overall state of the economy: The overall state of the economy will also affect Rolls-Royce's share price. A strong economy will lead to increased demand for Rolls-Royce's products and services, while a weak economy will have the opposite effect.

Conclusion:

Overall, there is some potential for a rebound in Rolls-Royce's share price in February 2025, especially if the company's SMR business takes off. However, it is important to note that the share price is also influenced by a number of other factors, such as the overall state of the economy and the performance of the aerospace and defence industries.

Investors should carefully consider all of these factors before making any investment decisions.

Sorry, this may sound like old broken vinyl records getting stuck playing in the same lane.

Ahh thats may be why RR is the only company showing a gain today in my portfolio may it continue.

RonRr - You are correct. I apologize for the mistake.

According to Rolls-Royce's financial calendar, their 3rd quarter results for 2023 will be released on November 7, 2023.

Agree Einstein would probably have said the same "Imagination is more important than knowledge" This is totally real.

The income statement alone suggests a 60m loss in one year (68m for the two years).

This is correct. Rolls-Royce SMR has been operating at a loss since its inception. This is not unusual for early-stage companies, as they invest heavily in research and development. However, it is important to note that the company has not yet generated any revenue from its SMR program.

The balance sheet is only positive due to [part] grant received.

This is also correct. Rolls-Royce SMR has received a number of grants from the UK government and other investors. These grants have helped to support the company's development work. However, it is important to note that the company's balance sheet would be negative without these grants.

It's a loss trading company.

This is correct. Rolls-Royce SMR has not yet generated any revenue from its SMR program. As a result, it is currently a loss-making company.

Thus, when it finally gets positive (in many years to come) the RR PLC shareholders will be the last to see any of it.

This is correct. Rolls-Royce SMR is a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce PLC. This means that any profits generated by Rolls-Royce SMR will first be used to repay the company's creditors and shareholders. As a result, Rolls-Royce PLC shareholders will not see any of the profits from Rolls-Royce SMR until the company has repaid all of its debts.

As I stated many times before, to such vitriol, RR SMR is only positive for the fact that long-term hedges and pensions will get on board and boost the SP. Balance sheet-wise, RR PLC will see NOTHING for many years to come.

This is a matter of opinion. Some people believe that Rolls-Royce SMR has the potential to be a profitable business in the long term. Others believe that the company is too risky and that investors should avoid it.

It is important to note that Rolls-Royce SMR is a high-risk investment. The company is still in its early stages of development and it is not yet clear whether its SMR technology will be successful. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance before investing in Rolls-Royce SMR.

Overall, it is important to be aware of the risks associated with investing in Rolls-Royce SMR. The company is still in its early stages of development and it is not yet clear whether it will be profitable in the long term. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance before investing in Rolls-Royce SMR.

NTC Hats off I won't argue/disagree with sir Garfields who may have 9 lives what do I know? On the other hand, the possibilities are: Rolls-Royce SMR has over 200 staff, with plans to grow to over 1,000 by 2025. The company has not disclosed its exact expenditure on the SMR program, but it has received significant funding from the UK government and other investors. In 2021, Rolls-Royce announced that it had secured over £200 million in funding for the SMR program.

The SMR program is a key part of Rolls-Royce's strategy to develop new low-carbon technologies. SMRs are small nuclear reactors that are designed to be more flexible and affordable than traditional large nuclear reactors. Rolls-Royce believes that SMRs have the potential to play a major role in the UK's transition to a net-zero carbon economy.

The company is currently developing a 440MW SMR design, which it plans to deploy in the UK in the early 2030s. Rolls-Royce is also working on a number of other SMR projects, including a collaboration with the US company NuScale Power to develop a 77MW SMR design.

BB I do think so just as the oil price keeps moving higher whilst at the same time the cost of bringing on new renewable sources of energy keeps on increasing/expanding in tandem that alone all 'flies' back to bring on Nuclear sooner rather than later not to mention the reliance of outside energy for security supply reasons.

Dazpink yes flying hours are spinning alright (NUMBERS ARE REAL) and the SP is back on course inside the recent/current trading range of 213-223 hopefully we can get another lift-off soon. See you on the other side of the clouds (SPX closing above 4450) GLA

Marketduster agrees that had it not been for Mr East who stabilised the foundation of the company it could have ended up going down to dust.

To say the road has been rocky is an understatement it has navigated and flown through some of the worst turbulence that any other international company has witnessed which itself is first class.

Goldman Sachs, along with Morgan Stanley, was one of the lead underwriters for Rolls-Royce's £2.5 billion rights issue in September 2020. The banks had initially pledged to underwrite 60% of the 6.4 billion new shares to be issued, but this was later scaled back to 30%.

The underwriters' fees for the rights issue were estimated to be up to £55 million, out of a total estimated cost of £80 million. This means that Goldman Sachs could have earned up to £16.5 million in fees for its role in the rights issue.

However, it is important to note that the underwriters also took on a significant risk by agreeing to underwrite the rights issue. If the shares had not been subscribed by investors, the underwriters would have been forced to buy them themselves. This could have resulted in significant losses for the banks.

Ultimately, the Rolls-Royce rights issue was a success, with over 99% of the shares being subscribed. This means that Goldman Sachs and the other underwriters are likely to have made a significant profit on the deal.

RR HAD ITS RIGHT ISSUE 11/11/2020 AT 0.32P

The FTSE 100 was created on January 3, 1984. It is a cap-weighted index of the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market capitalization. The index is calculated and published every second when the market is open.

The FTSE 100 is one of the most widely followed stock market indices in the world and is often used as a proxy for the performance of the UK economy. It is also a popular benchmark for investors and fund managers. The only true long-term holders are the ones who bought at the flotation.!

A17 - Agree with you on this post ;-) onthecoast may be right but also could be mistaken let's say we start from the beginning he who bought the shares when they were first privatised in the 80s by the honourable Lady Margeret Thatcher and assume one only bought additional shares purchases when (bonus) dividends were reinvested i.e. compounding as asserted by the only one Einstein himself then the outcome including the right issue is undeniable. A win/win without trading as such.
