  • Rolls-Royce Buyback Effect Fades as Results Loom
    July 16, 2026, 5:51 AM EDT. Rolls-Royce Holdings has used £1.034 billion, or 45%, of its £2.3 billion buyback, leaving £1.266 billion still to spend. At 1,376.2p a share, that would buy about 92 million shares, close to 1.1% of the register. The impact from the buyback is losing steam as the average price paid approaches Berenberg's 1,430p target. Shares fell 1.1% to 1,376.2p, putting the group's value near £115 billion. Berenberg kept its Buy call and 1,430p target, noting Rolls-Royce's strong traffic numbers ahead of Safran and MTU Aero Engines. Investors are waiting for the July 30 half-year update and signs on the buyback, with 2026 profit and cash flow guidance holding steady.
