FTSE 250 movers: Mitie surges on results; Travis Perkins slides on profit warning
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 0.4% at 17,891.15 in afternoon trade on Wednesday. Mitie was the top gainer after the facilities management company said it delivered solid top-line growth in the first half, helped by recent acquisitions, and that it expects to increase revenues by 17% over the full year.
Transport operator FirstGroup also rallied after hiking its full-year profit outlook. The company now expects FY 2024 group adjusted operating profit and group adjusted attributable profit to be ahead of the board's previous forecasts by around £14-20m and £7-10m, respectively.
Energean - which is developing a gas field offshore Israel - was under the cosh again amid worries about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Travis Perkins slumped after the builders' merchant warned on profits, citing a slowdown in the construction sector. Howden Joinery also lost ground.
PageGroup slid as the recruitment firm said it expects full-year profits to drop by at least a third as a result of ongoing challenging conditions across Asia, the UK and US markets in the third quarter.
