Rolls-Royce: Buy As The Dividend And Buyback Engine Starts Spinning Summary Rolls-Royce delivered robust FY results, with 14% revenue growth, 38% operating profit growth, and significant margin expansion. Mid-term targets have been upgraded: operating profit is now guided at £4.9–£5.2B and free cash flow at £5–£5.3B, reflecting strong execution. Despite a reduced 2027 price target of $17.89, I remain bullish due to resilient end-market growth and a pivot to shareholder returns. Rolls-Royce is positioned for long-term value creation, with substantial cash returns, debt reduction, and potential for increased dividends as share count declines.

28. The DIY Auto Parts Undisputed King For our twenty-eighth episode, we’re talking about that dreaded sound... that little light on your dashboard that pops on and fills you with anxiety. The check engine light. [pause] For most of us, it means an expensive trip to the mechanic. But for our company today, it's the beautiful sound of cash registers ringing. They are the trusted partner for both the person who wants to save a buck and fix it themselves, and for the local mechanic who fixes it for you. We are talking about the largest auto parts retailer in America... AutoZone. When you hear the name AutoZone ($AZO), you probably think of the local store for spark plugs, oil filters, and car batteries. It’s the go-to retailer for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics, a remarkably steady business that thrives when people decide to fix their aging cars rather than buy new ones. This has made it a classic recession-proof, defensive stock. But the real story behind AutoZone's incredible, decades-long stock appreciation isn't just selling parts; it's one of the most aggressive and effective share buyback programs in the market. The company is a relentless capital allocation machine, using its predictable cash flow to consistently reduce its share count and create immense value for shareholders. However, a major roadblock is appearing on the horizon: the electric vehicle. With fewer moving parts and different maintenance needs, how does a business built on the internal combustion engine survive the EV transition? We're popping the hood to see if AutoZone's shareholder-friendly model can adapt to the future of transportation or if its engine is about to run out of gas.

Once known for holding giant piles of cash and relatively little #debt, #tech giants have changed in recent years. While they still hold plenty of cash, they have added debt to fund share #buybacks – chart @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

Frankly, I don't think #stock #buybacks are bad if :
1. The company also pays #dividends
2. They are part of a long-term policy to reduce outstanding debt
3. They are #randomized, so that nobody control *who* gets cashed out
4. The cash-out is of a fixed # of shares and a price 4 weeks previous.
