Less that one year in charge and Labour are slowly turning the economy around. Regardless of what the naysayers bleat.
20% increase in my RR shares in the last week and I suspect quite a way to go yet.
SMR approval this spring would be massive too, let’s give the contract to a UK owned company.
Their car business should be spun out but their core business of critical infrastructure and technology nationalised
This Rolls-Royce (spun off from Rolls-Royce that makes cars) manufactures Small Modular Reactors, a way to make a nuclear reactor smaller and cheaper, as well as manufacturing engines for aerospace and marine markets.
Instead of having one giant nuclear power station at the cost of £35bn, you could have several of these scattered around at a tenth of the unit cost, and have them fire up and shutdown more on demand.
Alongside renewables would pretty much end any reliance we have on gas if deployed at scale
Without the products, engineers and technology implemented by his predecessors it would not be as successful. He rides on the shoulders of giants!
Wallstreetbets has been obsessed with this company since like 2021
I had a choice of investing in RR or BAE systems…. I did not choose as well as perhaps I could have
Bought this stock, 48 hours before the 20% jump. Wish I’d bought sooner though.
I got in a year ago and honestly I wish I’d gone all in on them instead if gambling on penny stocks.
Some thing extra for people to consider, aside from small nuclear reactors etc.
Fighter jet engines.
RR are one of the companies working on the tempest 6th generation fighter project, a UK venture with Italy (leonardo) and Japan (probably mitubishi). As they’re aiming for 2035, I’m expecting European wide sales. But also of note is all those shiny SAAB gripons which are such effective fighters are using general electric engines. They might be reconsidering that design choice in the future.
