Engine maker promises to give up to £9bn to shareholders over next three years as turnaround gathers pace
Rolls-Royce’s profits soared by 40% last year as the engineering company’s turnaround gathered pace, helped by booming demand for power from datacentres.
The company reported underlying profits of £3.5bn for 2025, up from £2.5bn the year before, as it also promised to give up to £9bn to shareholders over the next three years through share buybacks, its biggest return of cash to investors in a decade.
