Rolls-Royce shares jump on fresh buyback update as defense stocks rally

Rolls-Royce shares jump on fresh buyback update as defense stocks rally

Rolls-Royce shares firmed on Thursday after the company disclosed another round of share repurchases, buying 434,889 shares on Jan. 7 through UBS and saying it would cancel them. The purchase, split between the London Stock Exchange and CBOE CXE, was done at prices between 1,244 and 1,268 pence a share, and brings the total bought back since the program began to 1,843,755 shares, the company said. The buyback matters now because it is running into a key stretch for the jet engine maker, with investors watching whether capital returns keep rising alongside cash generation. Rolls-Royce announced the £200 million interim buyback in December after finishing a £1 billion buyback in November, and said the interim program runs from Jan. 2 to no later than Feb. 24, ahead of full-year results due Feb. 26. rolls-royce.com

  • Patterson-UTI (PTEN) Slides After Q1 Beat; Water Solutions Tops Peers
    July 3, 2026, 7:05 PM EDT. Oilfield services names turned in uneven Q1 results. The group beat revenue consensus by 3.8% but still averaged a 14.3% drop in share price. Patterson-UTI (NASDAQ:PTEN), with its 135 advanced rigs, posted revenue of $1.12 billion, down 12.7% over last year but 1.2% above analyst targets. PTEN delivered beats on both EPS and EBITDA, yet shares tumbled 19.9% to $8.66 after earnings as investors stuck to worries over low commodity prices. Select Water Solutions (NYSE:WTTR) led on revenue, topping estimates by 6.8%, even as sales dropped 2.3% year-on-year.
