FTSE 250 movers: Darktrace recovers some ground; Bridgepoint tumbles

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 1.7% at 19,196.46 in afternoon trade on Friday. Darktrace was the top riser on the index, having tumbled on Thursday after tech investment firm Thoma Bravo said it would not be making an offer for the cybersecurity group.

Bridgepoint shares slid after the FTSE Russell said it had decided not to increase the weighing of its shares in its indices. Shares in Bridgepoint had rallied last week in anticipation of index inclusion.

IT services firm Computacenter was also down after it backed its expectations for the year but posted a drop in interim profit. In the six months to 30 June, pre-tax profit fell 6.4% to £107.8m, while revenues rose 16.6% to £2.8m.
