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

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.
