A decent business — some strong pillars, some weaker.

Share count rising — dilution

+1.1% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 8.35B (2021) → 8.45B (2025)

Rolls-Royce builds engines for large commercial aircraft, military jets, and naval ships. Its biggest business is making and servicing the massive turbofan engines that power wide-body planes like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787, sold to airlines around the world. The company also makes power systems for submarines, warships, and defense aircraft, making it a key supplier to governments including the UK, US, and other NATO allies.

Rolls-Royce makes most of its money not from selling engines, but from long-term service contracts — airlines pay per hour that an engine flies, which creates steady, recurring revenue over decades. The company operates globally, with major operations in the UK, US, Germany, and Singapore, and generates roughly $17 billion in annual revenue. Its deep installed base of engines and the high cost of switching suppliers give it a strong competitive position, but the business remains exposed to airline travel demand and any slowdown in wide-body aircraft deliveries from Airbus and Boeing.

Growth + cash flow

Rolls-Royce Holdings is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
