FTSE 250 movers: CMC Markets tumbles; Mitie surges

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 1% at 20,100.13 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Online trading platform CMC Markets tumbled as it reported a drop in full-year pre-tax profit - although this was broadly in line with expectations - slashed its dividend and said it was targeting 30% growth in net operating income over the next three years.

Iconic bootmaker Dr Martens was on the back foot as its stock went ex-dividend.

Mitie surged as the detention centre and building facilities operator reinstated its dividend and unveiled a £50m share buyback as it swung to a full-year profit, boosted by new contract wins.

Private hospital operator Mediclinic rose after saying it had rejected a 463p a share takeover offer from a consortium comprising of shareholder Remgro and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company. Spire Healthcare also gained.
