The ruling comes after more than 1.6 million drivers accused them of misleading claims, but the judge dismissed most of the case after a 10-week trial.

Rolls-Royce falls further as £9 billion comeback gets more investor scrutiny

The shares were last seen at 1,127.40 pence, off 12.60p, or 1.1%, according to Davy with prices 20 minutes delayed at 10:02 a.m. in London. They moved in a range from 1,115.80p to 1,133.20p so far.

Rolls-Royce shares fall; Monday’s key price level on the radar

Rolls-Royce Holdings shares ended Friday down 4.78% at 1,140 pence, or £11.40. That was the lowest close since late April. For the week, the stock dropped about 6.5% from last Friday’s 1,219.8p close. The timing is key. The London Stock Exchange shut for the weekend, with trading set to resume at 08:00 on Monday, May 18. Investors won’t be able to trade local shares again until then.

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc Just Made A €1 Billion Debt Move — And The Stock Still Fell

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc tapped the euro bond market for the first time since 2020, selling €1 billion in debt as investors put up more than €8.1 billion in orders, according to GlobalCapital. The British engine maker’s latest offering comes as it works through a turnaround. Timing is crucial here. Rolls-Royce wants to prove to bond investors that faith in its credit holds up, even as factors like climbing airline fuel bills, Middle East instability, and weaker equity markets weigh down aerospace shares. European carriers, scrambling for new jet fuel sources since Gulf routes got choked by the Iran conflict, are now paying about twice as much for jet fuel as before the war, according to Reuters.

Rolls-Royce Share Price Faces Fresh Test as £2.3bn Buyback Meets Jet-Fuel Shock

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc snapped up 1,828,412 of its own ordinary shares last week and plans to cancel the lot—underscoring its focus on capital returns as the turnaround narrative grinds on. Investors are now gauging the run-up in the stock against renewed pressure in global aviation. The tally so far: 52.7 million shares bought back as part of the £2.3 billion buyback, with an average purchase price of 1,201.13p, according to a regulatory filing. This shift is notable as Rolls-Royce shares are no longer moving in just one direction. According to AJ Bell, the stock was quoted at 1,201.8p for sellers on Thursday, slipping 0.25%. It’s still well below its 52-week peak of 1,420p, and the company’s market cap is now

Rolls-Royce Stock Tries to Stabilize as Investors Test the Limits of the Turnaround

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc ticked up in London on Wednesday, hovering near 1,197.60p after ending Tuesday at 1,191p. The stock barely budged within its session, moving between 1,195.60p and 1,215.60p. That’s significant—1,190p remains the pivot to watch, with the chart more focused on defending that level than pushing higher. This move is really about the market taking a breather. Shares slid 2.98% on Tuesday, lagging a nearly unchanged FTSE 100, after some volatile action: up 6.42% on May 6, then three back-to-back down days later in the week. That pretty much sums it up—investors aren’t bailing on the turnaround, but they’ve stopped chasing unless there’s something new to go on.

Rolls-Royce Stock Faces Fresh Test as Hybrid Mining Push Moves Beyond Jet Engines

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc plans to ramp up its mining power efforts, with field testing for a new haul truck hybrid drive slated to kick off in autumn 2026. The system blends mtu Series 4000 diesel engines with an electric drivetrain. According to the company, the hybrid setup could trim fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by as much as 30%, depending on the mine’s route. Cobus van Schalkwyk, who heads global mining at Rolls-Royce Power Systems, called the technology an “effective lever” for reducing open-pit transport costs and emissions. Rolls-Royce shares are being tugged in two directions: long-haul air travel is rebounding—good news for engine-service revenue—but doubts remain over whether newer industrial power units can pick up more slack.

Rolls-Royce Holdings Share Price Bucks FTSE 100 Rout as 2026 Guidance Holds

Shares of Rolls-Royce Holdings plc managed a slight climb in London on Tuesday, bucking the broader UK market’s slide. Investors seemed reassured by the company’s reiterated targets for profit and cash flow in 2026. According to Hargreaves Lansdown, the stock closed up 0.23% at 1,196.40p/1,197.00p, even as the FTSE 100 lost 1.4%. The drop drew attention, coming as HSBC’s unexpected loss, spiking energy prices, and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions weighed on sentiment. According to Reuters, the blue-chip FTSE 100 fell to 10,219.1 points—marking its sharpest daily slide since late March.

FTSE 100 slipped 0.1% to finish at 10,363.93 on Friday, chalking up its third consecutive weekly drop as London heads into a long weekend. The UK’s blue-chip index took a hit mostly from energy stocks and AstraZeneca. Over in the mid-caps, the FTSE 250 managed a 0.3% gain. London’s market direction isn’t just about corporate results anymore. Investors are juggling Middle East tensions, choppy oil, and a Bank of England that kept rates steady but dodged the tough calls on inflation. The FTSE 100 jumped 1.6% Thursday, Rolls-Royce and Glencore out front, but that bounce couldn’t turn the week around.

The FTSE 100 charged ahead Thursday, finishing up 165.71 points, pushed higher by fresh results out of Rolls-Royce, United Utilities, and Glencore. Investors shrugged off another choppy day for interest rates and oil. The more domestically focused FTSE 250 gained 264.28 points, settling at 22,465.15. The timing stood out: Bank of England decision day, and markets were already wrestling with how the Middle East energy spike might hit UK assets. The Monetary Policy Committee stuck with Bank Rate at 3.75%—an 8-1 split—signaling caution as inflation climbed to 3.3%. Another jump, they said, might be in the cards if energy prices keep rising.

Rolls-Royce Stock Rises as £300 Million Sigma Aerospace Deal Tests Supply-Chain Push

Sigma Advanced Systems has inked a seven-year deal with Rolls-Royce Holdings plc to build and deliver aerospace systems—locking in a cross-border supply chain that stretches from India to the UK for the British engine giant. Sigma pegged the contract’s value at close to £300 million, or about ₹3,800 crore, according to its exchange filing. Timing’s a factor here. Rolls-Royce says parts availability has started to improve, though bottlenecks are still in play. The company warned investors that supply-chain strain could drag down 2026 free cash flow by somewhere between £150 million and £200 million. As for large engine flying hours—a core metric for its maintenance business—Rolls-Royce is projecting those will hit 115% to 120% of what they were in 2019

Rolls-Royce Holdings Buyback Rolls On as Fresh Filing Sharpens Focus on £2.5 Billion 2026 Return Plan

Rolls-Royce Holdings reported Tuesday it snapped up 385 shares on April 2, paying 1,172.5 pence apiece as part of its £2.3 billion buyback plan running through 2026. The company intends to cancel the shares. The update dropped as London markets reopened following the Good Friday and Easter Monday holidays. Rolls-Royce’s update lands at a time when buybacks have become a linchpin of its pitch to shareholders, following February’s annual results. Back then, the company committed to returning up to £2.5 billion via buybacks in 2026—a chunk of a broader £7 billion-£9 billion program stretching through 2028. The main tranche is scheduled to wrap up by Dec. 23.

Rolls-Royce Holdings buyback stays in focus as shares sit below record high

Rolls-Royce Holdings drew attention Monday, even as the London market was closed for Easter. A filing from last week revealed the jet engine group snapped up 532,844 shares on March 31, marking them for cancellation through its ongoing buyback. Purchase prices ranged from 1,083 to 1,130.5 pence apiece. That brings the cumulative total bought back since the programme kicked off to 28.2 million shares. The timing is key here: Rolls-Royce has made shareholder returns the centerpiece of its equity pitch. The company has committed to buybacks worth up to 2.5 billion pounds in 2026—just the opening round of a larger 7 billion to 9 billion pound plan stretching through 2028.

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc Starts 43 MW Scotland Battery Project, Deepening UK Power Push

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc has kicked off its inaugural large-scale battery storage project in the UK, breaking ground on a 43-megawatt installation at Falkirk, Scotland for Voltaria Helios Energy Storage. The new plant will be able to hold up to 86 megawatt hours of power, with grid connection slated for 2026 and the start of commercial operations following in 2027. Rolls-Royce will handle maintenance for the facility over a 15-year span. Timing is key here. Britain is targeting 23 to 27 GW of battery storage by 2030—right now the country has just 4.5 GW. The extra capacity is needed to steady a grid that’s scaling up wind and solar. That means storage is front and center in the government’s push to

Why Rolls-Royce Holdings plc Stock Price Fell as Oil Shock and BoE Hold Hit FTSE 100

Shares of Rolls-Royce Holdings tumbled Thursday, with the engine maker landing near the bottom of the FTSE 100 as oil prices surged and traders braced for tougher UK monetary policy. According to LSEG data published on Reuters, the stock dropped 5.66% to 1,184.5 pence. The blue-chip index slipped 2.83%. Just weeks ago, Rolls-Royce surprised the market with results that blew past expectations. In February, the company hiked its guidance, announced plans for a £7 billion to £9 billion share repurchase between 2026 and 2028, and shares surged to all-time highs as profit jumped 40%.

That’s from the company’s latest remuneration filings. Timing is key here: Rolls-Royce’s new pay policy goes to a shareholder vote at the April 30 annual general meeting, following a sharp run-up in the share price and amid a wider trend among some UK blue chips to lift executive pay caps.

Small Modular Reactors: Tiny Nukes, Big Revolution in Clean Energy

Small Modular Reactors are gaining global attention as a potential game-changer in nuclear energy. An SMR is essentially a miniature nuclear power reactor, typically producing up to 300 MWe – about one-third the output of a conventional reactor iaea.org. What makes SMRs special is not just their size, but their modularity: components can be factory-built and shipped to the site for assembly, promising lower costs and faster construction iaea.org. These reactors harness the same nuclear fission process as large plants to generate heat and electricity, but on a smaller, more flexible scale iaea.org. Why do SMRs matter now? In an era of climate urgency and rising energy demand, many see SMRs as a way to revive and reshape nuclear power.
