FTSE 250 movers: Mobico claws back some ground; Ashmore in the red

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 1.3% at 17,613.20 in afternoon trade on Friday. Mobico - formerly National Express - was among the top gainers, having tanked on Thursday after cutting its full-year earnings outlook and saying it was looking to sell its North America school bus business and suspend its final dividend.

In an update for the period from 1 July to the end of September, the company said it now expects FY2023 earnings before interest and tax of between £175m and £185m, down from guidance of between £200m and £215m given in July.

Oxford Instruments was also recovering some ground lost on Thursday, after it warned that its full-year trading performance was still set to be "towards the lower end of expectations".

Ashmore fell after the emerging markets asset manager said it saw an 8% drop in assets under management in its fiscal first quarter on the back of ongoing market volatility and risk aversion.
