    [BENGALURU] Rolls-Royce Holdings is expected to announce alongside its annual results this week that it will launch a fresh share buyback worth as much as £1.5 billion (S$2.6 billion), Sky News reported on Sunday (Feb 22).

    Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Rolls-Royce declined to comment.

    Rolls-Royce upgraded its full-year profit guidance at the half-year stage last July, increasing the top end of its operating profit guidance by £300 million, to £3.2 billion, and its free cash flow by £200 million, to £3.1 billion, according to its latest guidance.
