President Trump Says  We Took Tariff From 25% To 10% On Rolls Royce

Global geopolitical tensions reached a new high after the contentious February 28 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44064861/trump-cancels-news-conference-with-zelenskyy-after-tense-meet-in-oval-office-report">Oval Office meeting</a> between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump.
A trend toward less US military support for Ukraine was evident for many investors long before that meeting, as European stocks soared in early 2025, especially those in the defense sector.&nbsp;
The DAX index in Germany rose to new all-time highs this year, for example, as Europe begins reshuffling policy plans in view of a reduction in U.S. military support. Germany has led the charge so far, announcing a 500 billion euro (about $535 billion) stimulus package aimed at bumping up defense and reinvigorating the country's stale economy.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Six European Defense Stocks Set To Keep The Rally Going</h2>
One aspect of the German stimulus package that seems to intrigue investors is the defense spending boost, which gets around the country's ‘debt brake' designed to limit government spending. The debt brake caps spending at a percentage of national GDP. The new agreement calls for all defense spending beyond 1% of German GDP to not be counted against this cap, which is music to the ears of European defense companies, whose stocks have been sizzling since late 2024.&nbsp;
It&#8217;s important to keep in mind that as foreign stocks, they trade using ADRs on OTC marketplaces. Be sure to understand the risks of buying international companies via OTC marketplaces before investing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rheinmetall AG </h2>
Rheinmetall AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNMBY#OTC">RNMBY</a>) has been the face of the European defense rally so far. The stock has more than doubled in the last 12 months, including a 90% gain year-to-date (YTD). Rheinmetall is one of Germany's leading providers of military vehicles, weapons, ammunition and electronics for defense. The Dusseldorf-based company has existed since 1889 and employs more than 24,000 people.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcz_vG_KlxR1YFjEzC7CM5uirLdtpbjuTsj1DEa5dom-LiAvPzKDxxGg-QOEWA3cq3hC67yj-R92podeAkV2ykefZNcLkN1UI3IBZVO_wht8e15qkjdiyZYiIcR856Uojng01QU4g?key=bRH-zOh8yeo-luC60d2Cc_7K" alt="" /></figure>
Rheinmetall's stock trades on the DAX exchange in Germany but American investors can find it on the OTC markets trading as RNMBY. The company's valuation has gotten stretched during this recent rally, with a P/E ratio approaching 100 and a price-to-sales rate of 5.87. The company's forward P/E of 37.6 is in line with competitors like Saab and Rolls-Royce. It recently reported the USD equivalent of $955 million in free cash flow and 40% year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth. The stock ended Friday's session on a 6.5% drawdown as investors took profits amidst a choppy trading day. Some see this as an opportunity for a new entry as technical trends remain in place.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BAE Systems plc </h2>
BAE Systems (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAESY#OTC">BAESY</a>) had just completed its first ‘lost year' since COVID as 2024 drew to a close, but the recent rally has taken the British defense firm back to new all-time highs. BAE's stock closed at $57 on the final day of 2024 trading &#8211; a mere $1 above the price it opened on the first 2024 trading day. But 2025 has been a fresh start and the company is up nearly 45% YTD.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdNq-SXMbawg2AA0la6ht2uny1OZywnTvqRudwtgUdvTE2bqX8QO8tr1Ho-mF9F7hFXtAkqYsl68mDauucE_PDYWV6eX1pQ5lTv2MbXQIBZXwiFMTA-fxTD0eCYwu47s1hEdBXnAQ?key=bRH-zOh8yeo-luC60d2Cc_7K" alt="" /></figure>
Despite the parabolic move, BAESY remains an undervalued stock compared to peers like Rheinmetall and Saab. The stock trades at just 22 times forward earnings, 1.87 times sales and sits on a massive free cash pile equivalent to $3.5 billion. Profit growth accelerated in 2024 following a sluggish 2023. The company's 7.4% profit margin is one of the sector's best figures. It also pays a 2% dividend yield, tops amongst today&#8217;s picks.
The stock could get a boost from political tailwinds in 2025 as well. Like Germany, the UK is preparing for more accommodative fiscal policy to boost its economy, especially the defense sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leonardo S.P.A. </h2>
Leonardo SPA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FINMY#OTC">FINMY</a>) trades on the Italian stock exchange, and like other European defense firms, it started 2025 with a bang. Shares are up more than 72% so far this year, with possibly more room to run as the EU's fiscal plans come into focus.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeVnLhxuMB974uvA6X4FLkAq4Z3Xq4j7WWoeKicj2H3PT3zxbJ1n0hSiuP-aFMS7j6YWc_krkegiFes7ztcafUozkkyE5vPhBzTefPbOkQoLyACPMSlpFIyrNpyjAn7b0KCdbVYLg?key=bRH-zOh8yeo-luC60d2Cc_7K" alt="" /></figure>
Leonardo SpA has seven different business divisions, including Helicopters, Aeronautics, Electronics and Defense Systems. The firm is one of Italy's largest, with nearly 60,000 employees and a $27 billion market cap. The stock finished 2024 up more than 50% on the year, its share price has already gone from $13 to $23 in 2025.
Like BAE Systems, Leonardo remains undervalued compared to some of its more high-flying peers. Trading at 23 times forward earnings and just 1.4 times sales, the company has posted 21% YoY revenue growth. Shares pulled back on Friday, which could signify investors taking profits as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) veered into overbought territory. A minor correction could create an opportunity for new investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thales S.A. </h2>
Thales S.A. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THLEF#OTC">THLEF</a>) is a French aerospace company specializing in defense equipment, including combat systems, surveillance, training simulations, avionics equipment and more. With over $22 billion in annual revenue and more than 83,000 employees, Thales is one of the largest defense contractors in Europe. It has also been one of the best-performing stocks on the French CAC index, with a nearly 83% gain YTD.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXezuK4B9ff5pjf8XJDIkfIdzZsIOpy0sk5sinnM-gHVA4HBfwv3cT5UPmc0XuCHg2vfpn9TFelhQIv2STCxRUxNH_uOSk9Uzr6F7BqDiHEJqdhHi29TMDsQqQzP5w9-fAzxFVRUIg?key=bRH-zOh8yeo-luC60d2Cc_7K" alt="" /></figure>
The stock looks pricey at the moment with a P/E ratio over 50, but it trades at just 23 times forward earnings and has more than $2 billion in free cash flow. In its most recent report, the company stated YoY quarterly earnings growth of 7.4% and pays a 1.46% dividend yield, which is bested only by BAE Systems&#8217; 2% yield amongst our defense stock picks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rolls-Royce Holdings plc </h2>
When investors think of Rolls-Royce (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>), they usually picture the car driven by their favorite athlete, but the company makes more than just high-performance sports cars. It operates in multiple divisions: Civil Aerospace, Defense, Power Systems and New Markets. Rolls-Royce is the largest stock by market cap on our list at $87 billion. The company earns more than $24 billion in annual revenue.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdLlyU-1_uQUcX4tMiQoR16J13Q7MWEyfv43FSZCoOPnHcZZovjaMJhOYU5hE9BD3k9edK9s2LnvZr0lMzSdd5vpV2ySGgpN-KYKqtkL2idrO4jzja32wfc-yhOv_V_0dauMV75?key=bRH-zOh8yeo-luC60d2Cc_7K" alt="" /></figure>
Rolls Royce stock is up 51% this year, which lags behind other soaring European defense contractors, though that gap could soon be closed. The company's 13.3% profit margin dwarfs most competitors in the defense industry; the stock trades at 28 times earnings. It also has an impressive $3.74 billion in free cash flow ready for deployment, which is not a bad situation to find yourself in when the government is expanding fiscal policy.

This strategic move positions STARLUX as one of the largest purchasers of the A350F model. This order builds upon the purchase agreement signed last year at the 2024 Singapore Airshow. A formal signing ceremony held at the STARLUX Flight Operations Center in Taiwan marked the formalization of the purchase agreement.

Reported Earlier, STARLUX Airlines Expands Freighter Fleet with Order for Five Additional Airbus A350F Aircraft

Turkish Airlines&nbsp;is reportedly poised to ink a deal with&nbsp;Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>) (OTC: RYCEF and&nbsp;Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>) for local aircraft component production, estimated at $20 billion, as part of a plane acquisition plan announced last year.
A potential deal announcement is expected at an Istanbul ceremony later this month, reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-17/airbus-rolls-royce-close-to-20-billion-turkish-airlines-parts-deal?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>, citing Turkish officials familiar with the matter.
Turkish Airlines solidified the purchase of 230 aircraft from Airbus in December, with further options, aiming to bolster its Istanbul hub to compete with regional giants.
This procurement included a push for local production of airplane parts. Notably, Turkish entities, including state-run TUSAS Engine Industries Inc., are expected to participate in the manufacturing program, the report noted.
The accord for domestic aircraft component production aligns with Turkey&#8217;s ambition to advance its civilian and military aviation sector. This initiative is integral to the $70 billion Airbus order in 2023.
The report further noted that Turkey has been in ongoing discussions with international firms, like Rolls-Royce, to acquire engine technology for domestic military projects.
Ankara&#8217;s government emphasizes domestic production in foreign acquisitions, extending to defense and commercial aviation sectors, reflecting a broader industrial strategy.

Turkey's Aviation Ambitions Soar With $20B Rolls-Royce, Airbus Agreement: Report

Thai Airways International Pcl (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAWNF#OTC">TAWNF</a>) has decided to switch from Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>) to General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) for its next-generation widebody engines, dealing a blow to the UK company&#8217;s efforts to enhance profitability.
What Happened: The Bangkok-based airline announced an order for 45 Boeing Co. aircraft equipped with engines manufactured by GE, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-14/boeing-wins-orders-for-at-least-45-aircraft-from-thai-airways?srnd=premium-asia">reported</a> on Wednesday. The order also includes an unspecified number of options. This decision comes after Rolls-Royce faced public criticism from Thai Airways&#8217; CEO over pricing concessions in November.
Rolls-Royce has been striving to improve profitability under CEO Tufan Erginbilgic, leading to a tougher stance with customers on new deals. This approach has led to some friction, and the Thai order marks the first public loss for Rolls-Royce due to this strategy.

The new aircraft, which will be added to Thai Airways&#8217; fleet between 2027 and 2033, will not affect the airline&#8217;s ongoing repayment plans under its debt rehabilitation process.
Why It Matters: This move is a significant setback for Rolls-Royce, which is facing challenges in boosting profitability. The company&#8217;s approach to renegotiating existing contracts and taking a tougher line with customers on new deals has been met with resistance, as seen in the case of Thai Airways. 
For GE, this deal with Thai Airways comes at a crucial time, with the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/01/36735756/general-electrics-soft-guidance-sparks-concerns-as-ge-aerospace-and-ge-vernova-spin-">GE Aerospace and GE Vernova Spin-Off</a> nearing. The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues of $19.4 billion, an increase of 15% year-over-year, and adjusted revenue of $18.5 billion (+13% Y/Y organically), had sparked concerns. 
On the other hand, Boeing has received a much-needed boost with this order from Thai Airways. 
In December, Boeing was reported to be on the verge of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36152216/boeing-to-ink-a-landmark-deal-as-thai-airways-reportedly-favors-787-dreamliner-over-airbus-is-ai">securing an exclusive widebody jet deal</a> with Thai Airways, with an announcement expected within weeks.
This development is being seen as a significant win for Boeing, especially in the wake of the intense scrutiny it faced over its manufacturing controls following an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36927036/boeing-737-max-deliveries-may-be-delayed-due-to-newly-discovered-quality-defects-report">accident on an Alaska Airlines flight</a>. 
Boeing has been facing a series of setbacks, including newly discovered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36927036/boeing-737-max-deliveries-may-be-delayed-due-to-newly-discovered-quality-defects-report">quality defects in its 737 MAX airplanes</a>, which could potentially lead to delivery delays. These challenges have raised concerns about Boeing&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36844635/boeings-path-forward-q4-earnings-could-shed-light-on-ai-integration-production-targets">production targets and AI integration</a>, making each new deal and order all the more crucial for the company&#8217;s recovery.

Thai Airways Swaps Rolls-Royce For General Electric In Billion-Dollar Order For New Fleet

Editor&#8217;s note: A previous version of this story mistakenly stated that RYCEY was the stock ticker for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. However, it is actually the stock ticker for Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, a separate entity from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW AG. We regret this error and have corrected the article accordingly.
The ultra-luxury car market is experiencing a surge in customized car sales, with automakers such as Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>), Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc, and Bentley Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSY#NASDAQ">BSY</a>) witnessing record-breaking demand for personalized vehicles.
What Happened: The ultra-wealthy are increasingly seeking unique, customized vehicles from these automakers, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/03/cars/super-rich-people-ultra-luxury-automakers/index.html">reported</a> CNN on Saturday. This trend is driving substantial revenue growth for these companies.
Lamborghini, for instance, sold over 10,000 vehicles in 2023, a first in the company&#8217;s history. Ferrari saw a revenue increase of over 17%. The demand for personalized vehicles has led to a significant rise in sales of individually customized cars, some of which can cost double the base price of the vehicle.

"Personalizations, customizations, have actually been the key driver behind the better than expected earnings throughout the year," Gonzalez Lastra,&nbsp;investment partner with Tema ETFs, which operates a luxury goods investment fund. said.
These automakers cater to a small, ultra-wealthy customer base, with at least $30 million in potential spending money. This demographic is not only growing in size but also increasing in wealth, creating a lucrative market for ultra-luxury vehicles.
Why It Matters: The surge in demand for ultra-luxury customized cars is indicative of the growing wealth of the global elite. This trend is also reflected in the broader luxury car market, where Tesla overtook Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>) as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/23/01/30379972/tesla-surpasses-bmw-as-top-luxury-car-in-us-for-2022">top-selling luxury car brand</a> in the U.S. in 2022. 
This shift in consumer preferences towards luxury electric vehicles has also been seen in the success of companies such as Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), which despite production challenges, received the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31694492/lucid-rides-high-with-best-luxury-car-award-but-will-production-woes-ground-its-success">2023 World Luxury Car</a> of the Year award.
Moreover, this trend has also attracted new players to the luxury car market, such as Chinese EV manufacturer BYD Co Ltd, which is venturing into the luxury car market with a series of high-end EVs, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36732237/warren-buffett-backed-byd-takes-on-tesla-with-lamborghini-style-supercar-and-suv-with-360-degree-rot">Lamborghini-style supercar</a> and an SUV with unique features. This indicates a significant shift in the luxury car market, driven by changing consumer preferences and the increasing wealth of the global elite.

Wheeling In Wealth: Ultra-Luxury Car Makers Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce Ride High On Soaring Demand For Personalized Rides (CORRECTED)

Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsf#OTC">EADSF</a>) won an additional&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-emirates-orders-15-more-airbus-a350-900s" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">order&nbsp;</a>for 15 A350-900s aircraft from Emirates Airlines at the Dubai Airshow. With this new order, Emirates Airlines&#39; total order is 65 aircraft.&nbsp;
The move came after Airbus&nbsp;reportedly faced a setback from Emirates at the Dubai Airshow, where the UAE-based airline reportedly ruled out an immediate contract to purchase Airbus A350-1000 jets on Tuesday, accusing a dispute with engine maker&nbsp;Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycey#OTC">RYCEY</a>)(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycef#OTC">RYCEF</a>) over the durability of its engines and leaving the European planemaker&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/11/35770679/emirates-reportedly-defers-airbus-a350-deal-citing-engine-durability-concerns-amid-boeing-triump" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">without a significant showcase order</a>.
The deal comes as a compromise after Emirates publicly criticized the performance and cost of Rolls-Royce engines for the A350-1000 related to the downtime needed in Gulf conditions, Reuters reported, citing Industry sources.
At the end of October, the A350 had won over 1,000 orders from leading carriers globally.
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group&nbsp;said, &quot;The A350-900s will add to our fleet mix and we are pleased to announce additional orders for this aircraft type.

Tim Clark, president of Emirates, commented on the efficiency of the A350-1000&#39;s engine a day after announcing a $50 billion order for&nbsp;Boeing Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ba#NYSE">BA</a>) 777X jets, according to a news report by Reuters. Clark noted that the engine&#39;s maintenance interval &quot;falls short,&quot; providing only a quarter of the duration required by Emirates&#39; operational standards.

Clark told reporters that Emirates would order between 35 and 50 of the jets if Rolls-Royce improved the durability and maintenance costs.
Rolls-Royce told Reuters: &quot;Emirates is a valued customer and we look forward to supporting their future fleet growth plans.&quot;
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer, however, supported Rolls-Royce&#39;s Trent XWB-97 engine.
&quot;It&#39;s a perfectly fine engine operated by many customers around the world.&quot; Scherer said while announcing an order from EGYPTAIR for ten new Airbus A350-900 aircraft at the Dubai Airshow, Reuters added.

Emirates Reportedly Defers Airbus A350 Deal, Citing Engine Durability Concerns Amid Boeing Triumph

German automaker&nbsp;BMW (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), along with its subsidiaries&nbsp;Mini&nbsp;and&nbsp;Rolls-Royce (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>), has announced plans to incorporate&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) electric vehicle charging standard in its future EVs.
As <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/17/23921374/bmw-mini-rolls-royce-tesla-nacs-ev-charging-standard">reported</a> by The Verge, BMW stated&nbsp;that owners of electric vehicles&nbsp;equipped&nbsp;with the Combined Charging System&nbsp;(CCS) outlet will gain access to Tesla&#8217;s&nbsp;Supercharger network in early 2025,&nbsp;potentially via&nbsp;an adapter. BMW will also&nbsp;begin manufacturing EVs with Tesla&#8217;s charging standard integrated&nbsp;into the vehicle that same&nbsp;year.

BMW&#8217;s current EV lineup, which&nbsp;includes the iX, i4, and&nbsp;i7 models, as well as the&nbsp;Mini Cooper electric models and&nbsp;the ultra-luxury Rolls-Royce Spectre, all currently feature&nbsp;the CCS plug for DC&nbsp;fast charging.
With this move, BMW joins a growing list of automotive companies, such as&nbsp;Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, Polestar,&nbsp;Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, and others that have adopted Tesla&#8217;s North American Charging Standard (NACS). However, major automakers like Volkswagen, Toyota, and Stellantis are yet to jump on the trend.
Tesla&#8217;s Supercharger network, consisting of approximately 45,000 Superchargers worldwide, is widely regarded as superior to many third-party EV charging stations. The company claims that its Superchargers are nearly flawless in their reliability, with an average uptime of 99.95 percent last year.

Rolls-Royce To Slash Up To 2,500 Jobs In An Effort To Cut Costs

Stefani Germanotta, better known as&nbsp;Lady Gaga, has amassed a net worth of $150 million, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/lady-gaga/?sh=550e60f531fe">per</a> Forbes, but her&nbsp;journey to riches&nbsp;was a far cry from a straight shot. A little more than&nbsp;a decade ago, the 13-time Grammy winner racked up millions in&nbsp;debt and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">filed for bankruptcy</a>.&nbsp;
That&#39;s &#39;Money Honey&#39;: According to a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/24/how-lady-gaga-went-bankrupt-after-her-monster-ball-tour.html">report</a>, Lady Gaga was $3 million in debt following her &quot;Monster Ball&quot; tour, which lasted&nbsp;from 2009 to 2011, and she didn&#39;t even realize it.&nbsp;
&quot;I put everything in the show, and&nbsp;I actually went bankrupt,&quot; she told the Financial Times in a 2011 <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0cca76f0-873a-11e0-b983-00144feabdc0">interview</a>.&nbsp;
&quot;I remember I called everybody and said, &#39;Why is every&shy;one saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five number one singles&#39;&nbsp;&ndash; and they said, &#39;Well, you&rsquo;re $3M&nbsp;in debt.&#39;&quot;
The singer had no idea, she said. She didn&#39;t spend large amounts of money on much, but she was constantly tinkering with her performance setups, revising the way she wanted things to look and she paid for most of it out of pocket.&nbsp;This helped make&nbsp;Monster Ball&nbsp;one of the least profitable tours of all time.&nbsp;

You wouldn&#39;t think that a 13-time Grammy winner who has sold millions of dollars in albums, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/02/30911111/rihanna-super-bowl-halftime-performance-confirms-pregnancy-did-a-trademark-filing-hint-at-t">performed at the Super Bowl</a> and even helped to create the hit movie &quot;A Star Is Born&quot; would have ever been underwater, but she was at one time.&nbsp;
However, it didn&#39;t last long. The same tinkering of her sets that sparked the bankruptcy was also reflected in her performance and songs. FT reported that the &quot;sheer quality&quot; of her work helped drive her&nbsp;popularity and get things moving in the right direction financially, but she didn&#39;t care.
&quot;It&rsquo;s honestly true that money means nothing to me,&quot; Lady Gaga said.&nbsp;

She bought her parents a Rolls Royce (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycey#Pink">RYCEY</a>) and paid for a&nbsp;heart valve operation for her dad, but beyond that, she &quot;put everything in the show,&quot; she said.&nbsp;
In addition to the Grammy Awards,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lady-gaga"> Lady Gaga</a> received an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/06/27700074/could-joker-and-harley-quinn-have-a-bad-romance-in-sequel-heres-who-the-studio-is-targeting">Academy Award</a> for her work in&nbsp;&quot;A Star Is Born,&quot; and during the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped organize a virtual concert that raised $130 million in relief funds.&nbsp;
&quot;The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die&nbsp;because I&rsquo;m not obsessed with material things and don&rsquo;t care about the money,&quot; she said.&nbsp;

On Friday, shares of Rolls Royce Hldgs (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycey#OTC">RYCEY</a>) experienced volatile short activity. After the activity, the stock price went down -1.36% to $1.81.
The overall sentiment for RYCEY has been Bullish.
The signal from the volatility alert is trending Bearish. Therefore, the recommendation is to Increase Short Exposure.
The volatility alert was produced on the prior trading date, 4/14/2023 with a volatility change of +192.25%. The current volatility indicator stands at 12.943.
Overview: The securities lending volatility indicator is produced by Tidal Markets, in partnership with Benzinga Insights. Securities lending primarily serves the purpose of providing liquidity to short sellers. When unusual activity occurs in the securities lending markets, it acts as an upstream indicator to what is likely to occur downstream in the regular stock market.
Understanding the Volatility Alert: Overall sentiment is considered &quot;bear&quot; when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered &quot;bull&quot; when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity. Unusual short activity is based off a computer generated algorithmic formula utilizing securities lending trade details such as the volume of shares being shorted, the rate being paid to short the shares, and the type of collateral being posted - amongst other variables. The current volatility is the respective trading day&#39;s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change. Recommendations may include, &quot;Strong Buy&quot;, &quot;Strong Sell&quot;, &quot;Increase Short Exposure&quot;, &quot;Decrease Short Exposure&quot;, or &quot;Market Neutral&quot;.

In addition, Raytheon Missiles and Defense was awarded an $84 million contract by the Army for 155mm Excalibur Increment lb projectiles.
Boeing was awarded a $399 million firm-fixed-price modification contract by the Air Force for the delivery of two KC-46A aircraft for the Japan Fleet.

Here&#39;s a rundown of how the impacted stocks reacted to the new contracts on Wednesday:
<ul>
<li>GE was down 1.5%.</li>
<li>Raytheon was down 1%.</li>
<li>Boeing was up 0.6%.</li>
<li>Rolls Royce was up 2.3%.</li>
</ul>
Benzinga&#39;s Take: The new contracts are relatively modest in size compared to the massive budget of the Department of Defense. Aerospace and defense stocks are considered defensive investments because they generate so much of their revenue from long-term government contracts. Several of these stocks have been top S&amp;P 500 performers in 2022. Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/noc#NYSE">NOC</a>) is up 36.5% year-to-date, while Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lmt#NYSE">LMT</a>) is up 36.1% and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hii#NYSE">HII</a>) is up 22.1%.

Tesla Slashes China EV Prices, TSMC Joins Embargo After NVIDIA and AMD, Schlumberger Rebrands As SLB: Top Stories Monday, Oct. 24

Last year, Rolls-Royce (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycey#OTC">RYCEY</a>) announced plans to replace its entire lineup of automobiles with EVs by 2030. To make good on this promise, the luxury auto manufacturer unveiled its first EV called Spectre on October 18.
According to CEO, Torsten Muller-Otvos, 300+ customers had put deposits down for the car even before the unveiling last Tuesday. Many interested buyers visited the headquarters of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England, to get a sneak peek at the EV Coupe before its official unveiling.
The price of Spectre starts from $413,000 and has a range of 320 miles boasting 577 horsepower. The Coupe can go to 0-60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds and is relatively slimmer than usual Rolls-Royces. Spectre also became the first Rolls-Royce to have starlight doors with 1400 &ldquo;stars&rdquo; embedded in its interior.
The front grille is illuminated with 22 LEDs and has a &ldquo;waft&rdquo; line along its sides. The famous &ldquo;Spirit of Ecstasy&rdquo; figurine was also given a lower and more stable stance. EVs account for 6.4% of the total market in the US, which rose from 2.6% last year. Spectre is one of the most expensive EV Coupes in the market currently, described by the company as an &ldquo;Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coup&eacute;.&rdquo;On discussing the new vehicle, Muller-Otvos said, &ldquo;stability, brilliant quality, timeless materials, flight-on-land, silent propulsion. It carries all these genes Rolls-Royce is famous for.&rdquo; 2021 has been a record year for Rolls-Royce, delivering 5,586 cars worldwide.
While the sales target and objectives aren&rsquo;t clear, the president of Rolls-Royce motor cars America, Martin Fritsches says, &ldquo;Demand has been incredible. While we haven&rsquo;t even shown Spectre publicly, we have more hard orders already than we had in total for Dawn or Cullinan.&rdquo;
