FTSE 250 movers: Currys in favour; No appetite for Greggs
(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,630.59 0.34%
Electricals retailer Currys lifted its full-year profit expectations on Tuesday as it hailed a return to like-for-like sales growth.
In an update for the year to 27 April, the company said group LFL sales returned to growth, up 2% in the 16 weeks since the peak trading period.
Full-year pre-tax profit excluding the Greek business is now expected to be between £115m and £120m, up from previous guidance of "at least" £105m.
The news also boosted shares in rival retailer AO World.
Logistics real estate investor Tritax EuroBox is to sell a Gothenburg warehouse for SEK385m (£28m) as the company continues to dispose of assets to reduce leverage.
UK bakery chain Greggs maintained full year earnings forecasts as underlying sales grew 7.4% in the first 19 weeks of this year in what it called a "challenging market".
Total sales rose to £693m from £609m a year earlier, boosted by increases in delivery sales, evening trade and increased usage of the Greggs App. Like-for-like sales in company-managed shops was up 7.4%.
Bank of Georgia shares fell as protests continued in the country over the introduction of a new "foreign agents" law that opponents say is a Russia-inspired move towards cracking down on dissent.
