FTSE 250 movers: 4Imprint surges; Hilton Food tanks

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,119.46 0.69%

4imprint rose sharply after saying it expects full-year revenue at the high end of the current analyst forecast range and pre-tax profit above the upper end of the range.

Oxford Instruments surged after saying it was recovering following significant macroeconomic disruption in the first quarter, with order momentum improving in Q2 and that it expects to deliver an improved performance in the rest of the year.

Hilton Food tanked as it downgraded its full-year profit guidance and struck a downbeat tone on the outlook for trading in 2026. It pointed to subdued demand and operational disruption at its Foppen smoked salmon business in Europe.

Emerging markets asset manager Ashmore was knocked lower by a downgrade to 'sell' from 'hold' at Deutsche Bank, which cut the price target to 130p from 140p.
