Rolls-Royce – an old established engineering company that makes jet engines – has made unbelievable stock market gains in the last 2 years. But what on earth has caused such a recently terribly performing company make such an incredible comeback (and make investors rich)?

Turbulence is likely very good video thanks
good video, but as someone who bought a lot of this stock in 2022 and has held until now, I think the thing most people don't appreciate is that a lot of the rise would have still occurred under Warren East- maybe not as much as under Tufan, but many cuts were made to inefficiencies under Warren's leadership and the global rise in air travel would have still transformed the company
SMR has a fundamental advantage. One large nuclear power plant requauires the expansion of the power transmision infrastructure. With SMR two smaler power plants build at the ends of existing infrastructure can transmit almost twice the power. In era of mass electrification this could be quite a revolution. Althought the coĹ of SMR may not be low initialy, I`m almost certain it will be cheaper than expanding additional power transmission infrastructure. I`m waiting for a potentat drop in the current price to buy some more RR shares.
Thanks for this informative video!
With this pace and the success from SMR this company can become a trillion dollar company in next few years..
Currently hold 1.84 share price, really think this stock is going to keep growing with the nuclear reactors
Damn Nik ka believe I never invested in this gully stock when I had the chance.
I really wish I bought more and held my shares! Well, I made a bit of a profit xD
