Rolls Royce Looks to Raise Billions and Analyst Estimates Bed Bath & Beyond Earnings Up Over 20%
Rolls Royce
The demand for aircraft engines and air travel took a dive since the pandemic began. For British engineering company Rolls Royce, that means serious trouble. Rolls Royce shares have already fallen 80% this year!
The company announced on Thursday that it plans to raise up to $6.5 billion to achieve financial stability. If successful, this funding is expected to help the jet engine maker carry on through to 2022.
Bed Bath & Beyond
Bed Bath & Beyond shares jumped over 20% on Thursday after reporting a surprise profit in its quarterly earnings release. The company said it earned $217.9 million, or $1.75 a share, versus a loss of $1.12 a year earlier.
These numbers wouldn’t have been possible without the company’s stellar e-commerce sales. Bed Bath & Beyond’s digital sales grew 89% year over year. Will this trend of profitability stay strong over the long term?
