  • Rolls-Royce launches £2.3bn buyback amid strong profit forecasts: Should investors follow?
    March 16, 2026, 5:59 AM EDT. Rolls-Royce Holdings announced a £2.3 billion share buyback plan on February 26, adding to the £200 million repurchased earlier this year, equating to about 2.1% of its market value.

The historic price-to-earnings ratio near 43 suggests shares aren't cheap, raising questions on buyback value.
