Cash now a positive for Rolls-Royce reckons Citrigroup

Citi has set a new target price 935p, driven by long-term cash generation potential

Rolls-Royce PLC (LON:RR.) investors have become used to profit warnings in recent months but that might be about change suggests Citigroup.

On the back of a new cash-driven way of valuing the engineers, the US broker has upgraded aeroengine maker Rolls to a buy.

Citi has set a new target price 935p, driven by long-term cash generation potential while the revenue recognition change has also now been quantified.

BAE Systems (LON:BA.) also gets a bump-up to buy on the new methodology with its target price now 630p. A steady, yield stock concludes Citigroup.

Shares in Rolls edged up to 709p, while BAE was unchanged at 534p.
