FTSE 250 movers: Goodwin surges on upgrade; Miners lose shine

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,578.43 0.22% Shares in Goodwin surged by 36% on Monday after the engineering firm said it expected to at least double annual profits on the back of a strong order book and said it would also pay a special one-off interim dividend of 532p a share.

The company said it expected "with a high degree of confidence" trading profit before tax for the year ending April 30 will be more than £71m compared with £35.5m a year earlier.

Goodwin, which supplies the defence, aerospace, energy, automotive and industrial industries, said its order book currently stood at £365m along with enhanced visibility across multiple key defence and nuclear programmes that were not yet reflected.

Precious metals miners lost their shine as gold prices fell back amid improving risk appetite, with Hochschild Mining and Endeavour Mining both lower.
