“The way I see it, Rolls-Royce already did the hard part: it cleaned up its finances, started making strong profits, built up cash, got a credit upgrade, brought back the dividend, and is buying back billions in shares. Yet the share price still looks cautious for a company in this shape, and when I checked the experts’ estimates, most of them agreed there is room to rise.”
