  • Babcock, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems Shares Slump Amid High Valuations and Profit-Taking
    May 1, 2026, 6:56 AM EDT. April saw a sharp decline in shares of defence giants BAE Systems (-12.5%) and Babcock International (-14.8%) despite high order backlogs exceeding £80bn and £10bn respectively. Rolls-Royce, with a broader business including aerospace and power systems, posted strong Q1 results and saw a 7.6% day gain but still ended April down 7.56%. The FTSE 100 remained flat, ruling out a market-wide cause. Experts point to profit-taking and expensive valuations, with price-to-earnings ratios near 27-44, as drivers.
