Rolls-Royce on Thursday hiked its full-year profit and cash flow guidance after strong earnings for the first half of the year, with the British engineering group benefiting from robust demand across its civil aerospace, defense and power systems businesses. The FTSE 100 company posted underlying operating profit of £2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) for the first six months of the year, up 46% from a year earlier, while revenue rose over 24% to £11.3 billion. Rolls-Royce said it now expects full-year underlying operating profit of between £4.7 billion and £4.9 billion, up from previous guidance for between £4 billion and £4.2 billion. It sees free cash flow of £3.8 billion to £4 billion, up from between £3.6 billion and £3.8 billion previously. The results underscore how Rolls-Royce is becoming a beneficiary of two of the biggest investment trends reshaping global markets: surging defense spending and the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers.
