FTSE 100 movers: Informa rallies; DS Smith in the red
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was down 0.6% at 7,886.65 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Informa rallied as it announced the acquisition of B2B events group Tarsus for $940m, alongside its full-year results.
Aviva also gained after it posted a better-than-expected 35% rise in annual operating profit and announced a £300m share buyback, driven by a rise in life and general policy sales.
On the downside, packaging company DS Smith fell as it said third-quarter trading was in line with management expectations, but cautioned that customers had been de-stocking.
Entain lost ground even as the gaming giant reported a jump in revenues, supported by strong growth in its retail estate, while Spirax-Sarco Engineering slid despite reporting a rise in full-year adjusted pre-tax profit.
Beazley was in the red as it traded without entitlement to the dividend.
