(Logo: http:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnh\/20130417\/608168<\/a> ) <\/p>\n Edison has recently published a comprehensive report examining the investment merits of Rolls-Royce, focusing on the group's potential to benefit from delivery of its 60bn order book, more than doubling revenues over the next decade. In his report, on the shoulders of giants, Edison's head of Industrials, Roger Johnston, argues that the group is building on its consistent strategy and benefiting from the significant investment in R&D and manufacturing facilities over the past decade to deliver increasing numbers of high-value Trent engines. As a result, Rolls-Royce has the opportunity to deliver significant operational gearing and bottom-line growth. In addition, management focused on ensuring a culture of delivery and on customers (delivering on promises), concentration (where to invest) and cash\/cost (improving financial performance) is designed to drive operational margins and cash flow toward best in class across the group over the next decade. Modelling several scenarios by which this strategy could be achieved, Edison values Rolls-Royce between 1,419p\/share, a 17% premium to the current share price, and 1,714p\/share, a 41% premium to the current share price. <\/p>\n For the full report see: http:\/\/www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com\/research\/company\/rolls-royce<\/a> <\/p>\n The launch of coverage on Rolls-Royce is part of a programme of research initiations on industrials companies exposed to global market opportunities.
