Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) is a long-term growth share that you can’t afford to miss. Although the group has struggled over the past year or two, City analysts believe that the company’s earnings per share are set to expend by 10% next year.
The company currently trades at a forward P/E of 15.7, falling to 14.5 by 2016, which may seem expensive, but it’s worth paying a premium for Rolls’ shares.
You see over the next decade or so, it’s estimated that the world will need an additional $3trn worth of new commercial aircraft. As Rolls is at the forefront of the commercial jet engine market, the company is set to profit for this trend.
Rolls currently offers a dividend yield of 2.5%.

What’s more, IAG EPS are set to expand a further 40% during 2016 as yet more cost savings filter through the group’s structure. On this basis, IAG is trading at a 2016 P/E of 8.8.

Housing boom
As the UK’s housing boom continues, Taylor Wimpey’s (LSE: TW) profits are set to surge over the next two years.

Additionally, unlike most growth shares, Taylor also offers a hefty dividend yield. Indeed, the company is set to support a dividend yield in excess of 6% for the next two years.
So, with these figures in mind, it looks as if Taylor offers a rare combination of both growth and income that could be too hard to pass up.
