FTSE 250 movers: Spire Healthcare slumps; ITV jumps on results

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,088.32 -0.20%

Spire Healthcare tumbled as it posted full-year adjusted operating profit of £149.4m, which was below expectations of just over £157m, and warned of looming headwinds from upcoming increases to wages and National Insurance.

Harbour Energy and Lancashire also fell after results.

ITV rose as the broadcaster reported a jump in full-year profits thanks in part to record profits at its production unit, ITV Studios.

Grafton rallied as it posted a full-year adjusted operating profit that slightly exceeded analysts' expectations, despite a decline from the prior year.
