Earnings Report Sparks Investor Enthusiasm

The British luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC, has witnessed a remarkable 12% surge in its shares. This leap to a record high comes in the wake of the company's release of its first-half fiscal 2025 earnings report and an upward revision of its full-year 2025 guidance, buoyed by an exceptional performance in the initial six months.

This revision follows a 50% jump in the underlying operating profit, reaching £1.7 billion in the first half of 2025. Additionally, the company has elevated its free cash flow projection for FY25 to between £3 billion and £3.1 billion, up from the earlier estimate of £2.84 billion.
