Rolls-Royce

At the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference, Rolls-Royce outlined its transformation into a more resilient, growth-oriented company. CEO Tufan Erginbilgiç said the restructuring increased profit by around 50% and eliminated AOG events, while the Defence division has acted as a growth driver with a 9% CAGR since 2023 and a 21% margin in the first half. The Power Systems division is targeting a 25% CAGR to 2030 driven by demand from data centers; long-term service contracts and broader product solutions are expected to support margins. Management cited supply-chain inflation, execution risks and geopolitical cost drivers as challenges, but sees growth opportunities in Civil Aerospace, Defence and Power Systems into the 2030s. » Plus sur de.investing.com
