What is Rolls Royce?
Rolls Royce is a British company that designs, manufactures, and distributes aircraft engines and power systems for other industries. The multinational company serves clients in the military and civil aviation industries across the globe. However, many people confuse the aerospace and defence company with the luxury carmaker that goes by the same name.
Rolls Royce History
The good news is that Rolls Royce, the luxury car brand, was initially part of Rolls Royce Holdings but was spun off in 1973. After the demerger, Rolls Royce Motors, a now-defunct company, continued manufacturing luxury cars under the Rolls Royce and Bentley brands. It was later acquired by Vickers, another defunct company, in 1980 and later sold to Volkswagen Group in 1998.
Rolls Ryce Holdings has gone through multiple restructurings in the past, including voluntary liquidation in 1971. The British government bought the company’s assets under Rolls Royce (1971) Limited, and it later came back to the stock market in 1987. The firm has since undergone multiple corporate changes.
Is Rolls Roye a Good Investment?
Despite its chequered past, Rolls Royce shares are up 22% in 2021 despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic that forced the company to cut 20% of its workforce. The company also entered a significant restructuring period in 2018, causing its shares to fall significantly over the past three years.
