Rolls-Royce will publish its third-quarter 2026 trading update on 12 November. Investors will be watching the performance of Civil Aerospace, aircraft engine servicing and the Power Systems division.

In July, the company raised its full-year operating profit guidance to £4.7–4.9 billion and its free cash flow forecast to £3.8–4.0 billion. The market will now assess how confidently Rolls-Royce is progressing towards those targets.

With only three days left before the release, the window for carrying short-term positions overnight is narrowing. The upcoming update could trigger a wide price gap, increasing event risk for traders.

Holding above GBX 1,280 could strengthen the recovery toward GBX 1,300

Rolls-Royce shares failed to hold GBX 1,250, activating the bearish scenario outlined previously. The price tested the GBX 1,200 target before staging a noticeable rebound.

Resistance around GBX 1,280 will be the main level to watch today. If buyers can break above it and keep the price there, the next target would be GBX 1,300, with scope for a further move towards GBX 1,335, where the 200-day SMA is located.

Geopolitical risks, however, remain elevated. Another decline towards GBX 1,200 cannot be ruled out, followed by a possible test of the 23 October low at GBX 1,158.

Overnight gap risks rise as trading update draws closer

The upcoming Rolls-Royce update could materially reshape the short-term technical picture. Even positive results may fail to lift the shares if they do not meet expectations that are already priced in.

Risk is particularly high for short-term traders. Carrying positions overnight from 11 to 12 November could lead to significant losses if the shares open with a wide gap. A more cautious approach is therefore to wait for the update and the initial market reaction before considering new trades.
