FTSE 250 movers: Dr Martens steps ahead after upbeat results

(Sharecast News) - The FTSE 250 was up 1.22% at 20,519.22 at 1423 BST. Shares in iconic bootmaker Dr Martens strode ahead as investors caught up after a long UK public holiday to cash in on the company's upbeat results last week that saw it lift annual guidance.

On the downside, shares in East Europe-focused budget airline Wizz Air were lower despite the company reporting surging passenger numbers last month as travel started to return to post-Covid pandemic levels.

Wizz carried 4.1m passengers, a 390% increase year on year at a load factor of 84.2%.

Shares in Wood Group gained after selling its environment and infrastructure business to WSP, a Montreal-headquartered design and engineering consulting firm, for $2.31bn.,
