FTSE 250 movers: C&C fizzes lower; Dunelm edges up after results

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 1.7% at 18,846.52 in afternoon trade on Wednesday. Bulmers owner C&C Group fizzed lower after saying it expects to deliver a 35% jump in first-half net revenues but that it has seen a slowdown in on-trade momentum over the second quarter.

Aston Martin slid following a Financial Times report it is facing a lawsuit from two former dealers who claim they are owed around £150m for underwriting the development of its Valkyrie hypercar.

Going the other way, homeware retailer Dunelm was a little higher after it reported record full-year results in a "challenging" environment.

In the year to 2 July, pre-tax profit jumped 32.4% to a record £209m, on total sales of £1.6bn, up 16.2% on the year.

Dunelm said that while year-on-year growth benefitted from the lockdown-related store closures a year earlier, the growth of 41.1% compared to FY19 shows "the pace at which the business has developed through the pandemic period".
