FTSE 250 movers: Aston Martin motors on F1 result

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250: 20,028.57 +0.52% at 1445 GMT.

Aston Martin shares surged on a surprise podium finish over the weekend at the Bahrain Formula 1 motor race when Fernando Alonso drove lead the unfancied Aston Martin Lagonda to a third placed finish.

Shares in the luxury car maker have rallied over the past week after it cut losses to £495m last year and had already pre-sold many of the sports cars it plans to make this year.

Shipping services company Clarkson reported a sharp rise in annual earnings, driven by a strong performance in its broking division.

Pre-tax profit for the 2022 calendar year came in at £100.1m, compared with £69.1m a year earlier. Revenue jumped 36% to a record £603.8m from £443.3m.

The total dividend was lifted to 93p a share, up from 84p.

"Whilst the global geo-political outlook for 2023 and beyond remains uncertain, the strength of business and balance between supply and demand, supported by our record level of forward order book, gives us confidence in the outlook for Clarksons," said chief executive Andi Case.

"The green transition is an area of key importance for Clarksons as clients recognise the significant steps they need to take towards decarbonisation. Increased environmental regulation and societal pressures will create opportunities across all our divisions for many years to come."
