FTSE 100 movers: Hargreaves Lansdown rallies; WPP slumps

Fri 05 Aug 2022 15:34

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.1% at 7,456.92 in afternoon trade on Friday. Hargreaves Lansdown was the standout gainer on the index despite reporting a fall in assets under management for the full year as the war in Ukraine, inflation and cost-of-living crisis shook investor confidence.

Broker Shore Capital noted that revenues of £583m were ahead of company-compiled consensus of £582m, while underlying pre-tax profit of £298m was ahead of company-collected consensus of £283m.

Advertising giant WPP slumped even as it reported a rise in interim profits, driven by strong client demand across all services.

Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: "WPP's first-half numbers actually look fairly solid, but investors are so concerned about the economic backdrop, and what it says about WPP's prospects, they have reacted negatively.

"Clearly there is a belief that WPP's recent momentum, which helped it lift its annual sales outlook, can't last in the long-term."

Unite Group was weaker after a downgrade to 'hold' at Stifel, while Next was knocked lower by a downgrade to 'neutral' at Goldman Sachs.
