FTSE 100 movers: BAT goes ex-div; Kingfisher hit by Wickes results

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.6% at 7,523.93 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Schroders and British American Tobacco were under the cosh as they traded without entitlement to the dividend.

Elsewhere, B&Q and Castorama owner Kingfisher fell on negative read-across from DIY retailer Wickes, which posted a decline in full-year profits.

Wickes, which was spun off from Travis Perkins, said adjusted pre-tax profit fell to £75.4m from £85m as DIY demand normalised after the pandemic boom.

Banks Standard Chartered and HSBC were also in the red, having gained a day earlier as they recovered from recent heavy losses.
