FTSE 250 movers: Puretech Health rallies; Computacenter says no

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,798.44 -0.43%

Puretech Health rallied as it hailed promising results from the trial of its lung disease treatment deupirfenidone, which the lead investigator hailed as "extremely exciting".

Johnson Matthey gained as its largest investor, Standard Investments, called for a strategic review of the business which could include its sale.

Computacenter was weaker after it announced the immediate departure of Christian Jehle as its chief financial officer and an executive director by mutual agreement, with his responsibilities temporarily managed by the finance team and executive management until a successor is appointed.

Russ Mould said: "There is no explanation as to why he has gone and that's troubled the market. There is now a guessing game as to whether Computacenter has found something lurking in the closet or there's another reason why the CFO has gone."
