FTSE 100 movers: Rio Tinto gains on bumper Q4; Experian slumps
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.2% at 10,145.76 in afternoon trade on Wednesday. Rio Tinto was the top gainer after it reported a bumper fourth quarter. Iron ore production from Pilbara and total copper output beat analysts' estimates to reach new records, as the company met or exceeded full-year guidance across all major product groups.
Other miners also rose, with Anglo American, Glencore and Antofagasta all higher.
Burberry shot higher as the luxury fashion brand said comparable retail sales rose 3% in the third quarter, which was an improvement on the 4% decline seen in the same period a year earlier.
JD Sports gained after it held annual guidance as fourth-quarter like-for-like sales fell 1.8% with a return to growth in North America - the retailer's biggest market - offset by a weak performance in the UK and Europe amid a volatile consumer environment.
Haleon was boosted by an upgrade to 'buy' at HSBC.
On the downside, credit-checking firm Experian fell despite posting a 12% increase in third-quarter revenue.
ICG was also in the red after a third-quarter trading statement, while Admiral lost ground after Goldman Sachs downgraded the insurer to 'sell' from 'buy' and cut the price target to 2,920p from 3,954p.
Goldman noted that it upgraded the stock to 'buy' in July 2025 as it expected an inflection in pricing trends based on ONS data available at the time.
"This inflection, however, has yet to materialise," it said. "In addition, we are now lapping periods of frequency improvements, and as a result we expect burn costs to increase. Pricing versus burn-cost dynamics therefore read negatively for margins into 2026, where we reduce our earnings per share estimate by circa 17%."
