Action:Upgraded
Date:03/31/26
The score is driven mainly by a strong fundamental recovery and upbeat guidance with upgraded midterm targets and substantial shareholder returns. This is partially offset by remaining balance-sheet leverage risk and currently weak technical momentum (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation is reasonable but not a major positive catalyst.
Positive Factors
LTSA and Aftermarket Margin Improvement
Improving LTSA and aftermarket margins represent a durable shift from OEM cyclical sales to higher‑margin, recurring service revenue. Higher contract and LTSA margins boost structural profitability, cash conversion and resilience versus demand cycles, enhancing long‑term return on invested capital.
Negative Factors
Meaningful Leverage Remains
Elevated debt relative to equity preserves refinancing and covenant risk, limiting financial flexibility. In a cyclical aerospace environment, meaningful leverage increases vulnerability to earnings shocks, squeezes investment optionality, and raises the cost of capital over the medium term.

Rolls-Royce Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a strongly positive operational and financial transformation story: significant revenue, profit and free cash flow growth in 2025, upgraded midterm targets, major LTSA and aftermarket margin improvements, a substantial multiyear buyback and rising shareholder distributions. Challenges remain—notably supply‑chain and product cost inflation, near‑term shop‑visit and LTSA timing effects, higher investments and some one‑off accounting impacts—but management provides clear plans and targets to mitigate these and highlights that much of the LTSA cash upside will accrue beyond the midterm. Overall, the positive achievements and upgraded guidance outweigh the headwinds.Positive Updates
Group Revenue and Profit Growth
Group revenue grew 14% to GBP 20.0 billion and group operating profit rose ~40% to GBP 3.5 billion (5x vs 2022). Operating margin improved by 3.2 percentage points to 17.3%.
Negative Updates
Ongoing Supply Chain Headwinds and Product Cost Inflation
Industry supply‑chain constraints persist into 2026 with product cost inflation; management expects supply chain cash drag to continue through 2026 and be gone only by the midterm. An additional charge of GBP 161 million (mostly H1) related to product cost inflation was recorded.

Company Guidance
Rolls‑Royce guided to 2026 underlying operating profit of £4.0–4.2bn and free cash flow of £3.6–3.8bn (noting a continuing supply‑chain headwind that should be gone by the midterm), with net LTSA balance growth broadly similar to 2025, large‑engine flying hours of 115–120% of 2019, shop visits of 1,480–1,550 and an expected supply‑chain cash drag of c.£150–200m; they flagged higher net investments, an outflow on provisions and cash tax c.£200m higher versus 2025. For the 2028 midterm they upgraded targets to operating profit £4.9–5.2bn, operating margin 18–20%, free cash flow £5.0–5.3bn and return on capital 23–26%; divisional midterm margins include Civil Aerospace 21–23% (installed fleet growth 6–7% p.a.), Power Systems 18–20% (OE growth in Power Gen and Governmental ~20% p.a.), and Defence 14–16%. They expect net LTSA balance growth of c.£0.8–1.2bn to midterm with large‑engine flying hours rising to 130–140% of 2019 and shop visits peaking in 2026 then falling to 1,300–1,400 in 2028, assume a blended FX of ~$1.33/£ (vs $1.44 in 2025), and built in material LTSA margin upside (contract margins up ~19pp 2022–28 with an incremental +2pp contract and +8pp LTSA improvement vs prior targets); capital returns include a £7–9bn buyback program 2026–28 (£2.5bn in 2026 including £200m already executed) alongside a 2025 final dividend of 5p (full year 9.5p, 32% payout) and a commitment to return >75% of FCF 2026–28.Rolls-Royce Financial Statement Overview
