FTSE 250 movers: Intertek surges, easyJet flies lower

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,805.43 0.62% Intertek surged after Swedish private equity firm EQT confirmed it had made a takeover proposal to the inspection, product testing and certification company that was rejected.

Morgan Sindall surged as the construction firm said full-year pre-tax profits were set to be "significantly ahead" of its previous expectations, pointing to strong trading activity and increased visibility for the remainder of the year from both its Construction and Fit Out divisions.

Mitie and Hays also gained after updates.

On the downside, easyJet flew lower as the low-cost airline said it expects to post a wider first-half loss as the war on Iran and Lebanon has sent fuel prices soaring.

Dunelm fell as the homeware retailer reported a rise in third-quarter sales but cautioned that full-year profit would be towards the lower end of consensus expectations as events in the Middle East have dented consumer confidence.
