FTSE 250 movers: Housebuilders down; Indivior soars on Russell entry

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,669.38 -0.21% Housebuilders were in the red, with Vistry, Bellway and Crest Nicholson all down.

RBC Capital Markets said in a research note that the recent Spending Review delivered "significantly ahead" of its expectations but also questioned whether solving for supply has shifted the problem to demand.

"Two of the key building blockers have now, on paper, been addressed. It will take time for the planning changes to take effect and for the £39bn Affordable Housing Programme to be deployed, but our RBC Elements Homefi data suggests that whilst two problems have been fixed, another one may be about to emerge," it said.

"The Labour Party may have beat the blockers, but does it now need to provide a boost for buyers?"

PRS REIT fell as real estate investment manager Long Harbour emerged as the only bidder for single-family housing investor, with a cash offer of 115p per share.

Indivior led the gainers after joining the US small-cap Russell 2000 Index, effective after the US market opened on Monday as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution.
