  • The move aligns with Rolls‑Royce’s recent turnaround — including consecutive profit gains and strong defence and aftermarket momentum that underpinned a ~95% share surge in 2025 — and signals management confidence in cash flow recovery (see source:0d1b8baf-e52f-42b6-acf4-34f2a9c92e97 and source:5abda985-d7e1-4aa2-aa6c-b3b61700773f).
