FTSE 250 movers: Petropavlovsk shines on Sudarikov share purchase report

(Sharecast News) - The FTSE 250 was up 1.31% at 20,470.95 at 1445 GMT on a day short of major corporate news. Russia focused gold miner Petropavlovsk led the risers on a report in The Times stating that Sergey Sudarikov, a Russian billionaire who part-owns the sanctioned Credit Bank of Moscow has bought a 29% stake in the company.

Sudarikov,, who is behind the Region financial group, bought the stake cheap from fellow Russian tycoon Konstantin Strukov, who owns gold miner UGC, and is the largest shareholder in the London-listed company, the report added.

Bodycote gained after the thermal processing services provider hailed "good progress" in 2021, with both revenues and profits higher.

Network International Holdings continued to benefit from a guidance upgrade for 2022 and forecast little disruption from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
