Now I can keep an eye on one of my monitored stocks which I'm currently in.

Re Contract

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, today announced an order worth
more than £100 million to supply integrated power and propulsion systems for
seven offshore drilling vessels in Brazil.

The ships will be built at the Atlântico Sul shipyard for Brazilian oil company
Petrobras. Rolls-Royce will equip each of the seven vessels, which will satisfy
local content requirements, with six large thrusters and six Bergen diesel
generator sets. Together, the systems will be used to propel the vessels to and
from drill sites and to accurately maintain their positioning during drilling
operations.

ROLLS-ROYCE WINS CONTRACT TO SUPPLY WATERJETS FOR THE
FINNISH NAVY´S NEW HIGH SPEED LANDING CRAFT

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a contract to supply
water jets to power Marine Alutech Oy Ab's new Watercat™ M18 AMC high speed
troop transport craft, that are currently under construction for the Finnish
Navy.

The boats, classified as U700, are designed and built by the Marine Alutech
shipyard in Teijo, Finland, which specialises in patrol and military vessels.

The contract, for 12 craft, will involve the supply of Rolls-Royce 40A3 water
jets (two per craft), and a state-of-art control system that will enhance the
manoeuvring capabilities of the vessels.

Re Contract

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a $1bn contract, at
list prices, from Japan's Skymark Airlines for Trent 900 engines to power six
Airbus A380 aircraft.

The Trent 900 order, which follows the announcement of a letter of intent for
these engines in September 2011, includes long-term TotalCare® service support.
The aircraft will enter into service in 2014.

Rolls-Royce is the world's leading supplier of jet engines. Just what Mr Claus needs to power his sleigh.

Rolls-Royce has been increasing its shareholder dividend every year since 2006. Better still, it has not been shy with those dividend increases: the average annual rise in that time has been 12.8% a year.

There are expectations that the payout will continue rising at a similar rate for the next two years. This puts the shares on an estimated yield for 2012 of 2.3%, rising to 2.5% in 2013.

That dividend is well covered by expected earnings. Analysts forecast that Rolls-Royce will deliver a 25.8% earnings per share (EPS) increase for the full year 2012, followed by a 12.3% increase on that figure in 2013.

Hi DC, it seems to be recovering well after being hit by bribery accusations. It was motoring well prior to those allegations. Now back above 50DMA on my watch list.

Questor share tip: Rolls-Royce will power ahead
Rolls-Royce has won another US military contract. Questor says buy.

Dispelling some concerns about global defence spending, on Friday Rolls-Royce won a $52.2m (£32.6m) contract with the US marine Corp to repair and maintain engines.

Of course, military spending is currently going through a squeeze, but budgets are unlikely to wither away completely.

Rolls, which generated a fifth of its sales in 2011 from defence, should escape the worse of the cuts. The turbine maker provides critical equipment and benefits form long-term contracts to maintain the engines and replace their parts. Indeed, 53pc of group sales is generated by such recurring services.

Demand for military engines over the next 20 years could be around $155bn, Rolls estimates, and for services and support equipment $260bn.

However, civil aviation looks set to boom. According to data from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), some 2.9bn people used air transport in 2012. The highest growth was seen in the Middle East and the ICAO expects the industry will see 6bn people flying each year by 2030.

There should also be good growth in Rolls’ marine business, where it makes systems for offshore oil and gas, merchant and naval vessels. Its power generation business, which designs and manufacturers turbines for nuclear, oil and gas power plants also has strong prospects.

Rolls is currently facing a probe by the Serious Fraud Office looking into allegations of bribery in Asia. It is impossible to predict the outcome of any such investigation. It is something of which investors should be aware but it should eventually be resolved and Rolls is co-operating.

The shares are trading on a December 2013 earning multiple of 14.2 falling to 13. The prospective yield is 2.4pc. The shares are a buy.

fixed price maintenance which seeks to reduce the cost of engine operations.

Rolls-Royce Powers HMS Queen Elizabeth

ROLLS-ROYCE INSTALLS WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MARINE GAS TURBINE INTO NEW AIRCRAFT CARRIER

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has this week successfully completed the installation of the first MT30 gas turbine into the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, at Babcock's Rosyth shipyard in Scotland.

The MT30, at 36 megawatts (around 50,000 horsepower), is the world's most powerful marine gas turbine. Two MT30s will be installed in each ship and will provide two thirds of the 109 megawatts needed to power the 65,000 tonne ships - enough energy to power a town the size of Swindon.

The MT30s are installed as part of a Gas Turbine Alternator (GTA) which also includes an alternator and gas turbine enclosure, weighing a total of 120 tonnes.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPER SHARE TIPS: Rolls-Royce

By Compiled By Thisismoney

PUBLISHED: 13:22, 28 July 2013 | UPDATED: 13:28, 28 July 2013



Rolls-Royce has enjoyed a record decade of success.

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Budget airlines easyJet and Ryanair are ordering new aircraft as they try to grab more market share from full-service carriers and save money with more fuel-efficient engines.


Aircraft engine giant Rolls-Royce is poised to benefit, as jet fuel costs increase, regulations about noise at airports tighten and aircraft makers build ever-bigger models.


Rolls has four main business lines, with half its revenues coming from civil aerospace, 20 per cent from defence, 18 per cent from its marine division and 8 per cent from energy.


The defence business is the only real negative spot as military budgets are squeezed, although even in this business Rolls expects modest revenue growth this year.


On Thursday Rolls posted a better-than-expected set of interim results, sending its shares up 5 per cent to a record level. Underlying pre-tax profits leapt 34 per cent to £840million during the first six months of the year, while revenues were 27 per cent higher to £7.3billion.


Cost-cutting was announced in an attempt to boost margins.


Rolls is currently embroiled in a bribery and corruption scandal. The engineer stands accused of paying middlemen to win contracts for jet engines in Indonesia and China, and is being probed by the Serious Fraud Office.


However, the investigation is in its early stages at the moment and appears to be concerned with intermediaries used by Rolls. While the probe and potential for fines are serious, investors should not be overly concerned right now.


Management is right to focus on the margin issue. Like its engines, Rolls needs to become more efficient and turn more of its revenue into earnings. The long-term outlook for the company is sound and even at 1200p the shares continue to rate as a buy.
