Rolls-Royce Accelerates: Million-Pound Buyback& Industrial ShiftRolls-Royce Holdings plcLSE_DLY:RR.ActivTradesRolls-Royce Accelerates: Million-Pound Buyback, Industrial Shift and Technical Strength at Highs By Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades Rolls-Royce Holdings could announce, together with its annual results, a new share buyback program of up to £1.5 billion (≈ $2.0 billion), according to its latest report. This program would reinforce management's confidence in the company's cash-generating potential after a year with improved forecasts for operating profit (up to £3.2 billion) and free cash flow (£3.1 billion), and a buyback program already executed of £1.0 billion in 2025. Production Relocation and Industrial Strategy Beyond the financial component, Rolls-Royce has been adjusting its global industrial footprint. Historically concentrated in the United Kingdom and the U.S., the company has moved parts of its production and supply chain outside the United States to countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to reduce exposure to trade tensions, manage costs, and gain preferential access to markets where demand for civil aviation and defense is accelerating. This diversification of operations is part of a broader plan for operational resilience and margin optimization. In parallel with its financial discipline, Rolls-Royce Holdings has accelerated in recent years a strategic adjustment of its industrial footprint, moving part of its production and engineering capabilities outside its traditional centers in the United Kingdom and the United States. The group has consolidated in Singapore one of its main Asian hubs for manufacturing and assembling Trent engines, including the production of critical components such as titanium fan blades, while in India it has strengthened its technology center in Bengaluru and expanded agreements with local suppliers to increase the supply of aerospace components. In continental Europe, Germany continues to play a key role through its industrial subsidiary, especially in power systems and defense. This geographic diversification responds to a strategy aimed at improving margins, reducing geopolitical and commercial risks, and bringing production closer to markets with higher structural growth in civil aviation and defense spending, thus strengthening the resilience of its global supply chain. Technical Analysis (Ticker AT: RR.UK) On the British stock market, the stock’s technical behavior is supported by its optimism. Shares are trading in a clear long-term bullish structure, remaining above the main 50, 100, and 200 moving averages, which continue to slope upward, with the price pushed above the 100-day moving average, which supports around 1,200 pence. Both in the short and medium term, the trend is clearly bullish and near record highs, with Monday opening lower in the first hour of trading and a point of control (POC) around the current trading zone near 1,327 pence. The MACD is in positive territory, suggesting bullish momentum, although its histogram is negative, indicating possible exhaustion of strength and price consolidation in the current area. The RSI is currently in the mid-zone around 50%, without extreme overbought or oversold conditions, suggesting some neutrality. Current support levels are at 1,305 pence, with clear resistance at the high zone, as a free rise did not occur in Friday’s session or today’s. In technical terms, the bullish momentum remains strong, although with signals that call for monitoring key levels: Trend and Moving Averages Moving averages (MA) from short to long term (MA50, MA100, MA200) show a bullish bias, with mostly positive crosses and prices above the reference averages, reinforcing the positive trend. Momentum Indicators The MACD is in positive territory, suggesting bullish momentum. The RSI is around mid-levels (~50), without extreme overbought or oversold conditions, but close to a zone that deserves attention if it rises further. Support and Resistance Important pivot and resistance levels are around 1,305 and 1,200 pence per share. The set of recent technical indications points to a general buy signal / bullish momentum, confirmed by multiple moving averages and positive momentum, although with risk of consolidation if the price approaches static resistance or if the RSI enters overbought zones. Solid Cash Flow Rolls-Royce combines strong cash flow with disciplined capital allocation (buybacks), an industrial strategy that reduces geopolitical risk, and a technical trend that remains predominantly bullish. Ultimately, Rolls-Royce is not only reinforcing shareholder returns through buybacks but also redefining its industrial positioning on a global scale. The combination of strong cash generation, production diversification, and technical strength in the market paints a constructive scenario for the stock. The key now will be to confirm that this international expansion and margin improvement translate into sustainable growth in the coming years, in an environment still marked by uncertainties. However, monitoring key resistance and support levels will be crucial to validate the continuation of the movement. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.
