A fair wind you raise there, shipmate — aye, results days can turn into shark-infested waters fast when the market’s priced every last grain of perfection into the hull. Many a vessel’s been holed below the waterline by nothing more than an “okay” quarter.

But let’s check the compass before calling a storm — Rycey isn’t sailing below her moving averages. Quite the opposite: she’s cruising above the 20-day (≈1144), 50-day (≈1125), and miles clear of the 200-day (≈920). That’s a clean north-bound alignment — the sails are full, the current steady, and the course intact.

True, expectations are sky-high, but this isn’t a ship limping into port. It’s one consolidating near new highs with the big funds still on deck, waiting for the next green-flag signal.

As for flying hours, the brief U.S. shutdown barely rippled the surface. Civil skies stayed busy, defence orders steady, and with the UltraFan and SMR beacons lighting the horizon, the long-range chart still points north.

So aye, nerves before results are natural — but by the tea leaves and the tide, the Captain’s ship remains in full sail. 🌊🦾⚓

So yes, there is plenty of gas in the old 'Papa Dow'

Is that, by chance, the numpty trigger boy, aiming and shooting himself in the foot yet again 😆

Flyingdale, I agree — it wouldn’t surprise me if another dozen SMRs appear on the radar fairly quickly, now that they’ve gained the turbocharged momentum needed to advance this revolutionary power grid expansion program.

Yes, SMR's is the 4th leg in RR's empire of excellence, and the growth prospects are just taxiing on the tarmac, getting ready for immediate take off. 🚀🙌IV

It's normal, anything less than 5% i.e. swings up to 55/60p, is normal trading noise.

Price is basically observing the ATR currently at 32p, and today's price range was an inside bar i.e. price high/low was inside yesterday's high/low ranges.

*200 SMA

Flyingdale, yes, maybe it's time for Turbocharge to get us past the 'Nice Dozen' level on or before November 13th update, and then some thrust to put the Pedal to the Metal as the SMR revolution takes off towards XV 🙌🤞

Meanwhile, Mr Market (SP500) is now back above the hourly 200 SMR and breaking out above the IKH clouds on the four-hourly. 😉

Watch Constellation > New AI leadership is emerging. Energy, semiconductors, and cloud infrastructure are leading the returns.

“AI power” has replaced “AI software” as the market’s growth engine. > Electricity shortage / Long-Term deals with hyperscalers.

Mag 7 is no longer the AI leader!

Phuketpunter's last run lasted 35 days during 2018/19, making it the longest on record; a significant rebound followed with a 26.2% return over 12 months after the shutdown. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes. 😉

Will the market rally or overlook the potential resolution of the U.S. government shutdown?

''I'm waiting for "BBC verify" to verify this.''

They did!

The target price of 1224.47 is based on combined estimates of 19 analysts covering the company. (14 Buys & 5 Holds)

Ah, the Rycey chronicles — from £1 sailors to £11 admirals. Some spent their gains on vineyards and Birkenstocks, others on building portfolios that now pay their own wages. The real luxury isn’t the bag or the cash — it’s watching compounding do the heavy lifting while you sip your morning tea.

Dave..,

That’s a fair concern and one that deserves clarity, but non-cancellation in itself isn’t necessarily negative — it’s a structural choice with strategic flexibility built in.

Rolls-Royce’s buybacks are being executed via a third-party and the repurchased shares are being held in Treasury, not immediately cancelled. This means they can be used later for employee share schemes, debt-for-equity conversions, or future funding rounds without issuing new shares and re-diluting the register. Many large-cap firms handle buybacks this way because it gives them room to manage capital more efficiently and still improve per-share metrics (EPS, dividend base) as long as Treasury stock isn’t re-issued in size.

If those shares were to be cancelled straight away, it would permanently reduce share capital — good for optics, but it removes optionality. Given Rolls-Royce is rebuilding its balance sheet and may want flexibility around incentive plans or bond conversions, Treasury treatment makes sense for now.

The key is transparency. They should state explicitly in an RNS what proportion, if any, is intended for cancellation versus retention for future use. Without that clarification, investors are right to keep pressing Investor Relations — but the lack of cancellation isn’t inherently a red flag; it’s a deliberate capital-management policy choice.

Mooshpit > ''Share buybacks keeping the price down.'' I think you got that back to front!

WSBN > I would have a serious rethink, look closely at the last 5-year tea leaves, it's gone from 17 pence to 1 pence, is that investable in your opinion?

Ahh, I hear the Bingo man keeps fumbling metrics without any sense or judgment, utterly clueless in my opinion.

It's retesting the November lows, catching the low-hanging fruit(stops), and remains well above the crossing line at 1111.

I concur
