FTSE 250 movers: Currys surges; Baltic feels the cold

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,647.94 0.91%

Electricals and tech retailer Currys surged as it resumed dividend payments following a spike in annual sales and profits. The FTSE 250 firm said group revenues rose 3% in the year to 3 May, to £8.7bn, or by 2% on a like-for-like basis. Within that, sales in the UK and Ireland were 4% stronger on an underlying basis, and flat in the Nordics.

Baltic Classifieds tumbled after full-year results, while Watches of Switzerland slumped as it posted record revenue but reported a fall in annual profits and warned US products would be hit by tariff increases.

Close Brothers gained on hopes that an imminent motor finance ruling by the Supreme Court may not be too onerous.
