FTSE 100 movers: Ocado surges; Hikma heads lower

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 1.4% at 7,446.58 in afternoon trade on Thursday, as investors mulled the latest policy announcement from the Bank of England. Online supermarket Ocado was the standout gainer on the index following well-received results from Sainsbury's. Traders also pointed to read-across from DoorDash results across the pond.

BT rallied as it reaffirmed its full-year guidance, reporting flat revenue and a 6% increase in half-year adjusted EBITDA.

Sainsbury's gained as the supermarket chain boosted its full-year outlook after strong grocery sales throughout the first half.

Smith & Nephew also racked up strong gains as it said that sales growth is now expected to be at the top end of guidance after a strong third quarter, though it warned that margins would likely not grow as much as hoped.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals slumped as it lifted full-year guidance for two out of three of its businesses, but cut annual sales guidance for the injectables segment.

Haleon fell as it reaffirmed its full-year targets but posted slightly weaker-than-expected third-quarter revenues.
