(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,765.19 -2.81% Keller Group shot higher as the geotechnical specialist contractor hailed a record full-year performance, ahead of expectations, hiked its dividend and announced a further £100m share buyback.

Greggs reported a drop in full-year profit on Tuesday as it struck a cautious note on the outlook.

In the year to 27 December 2025, total sales rose 6.8% to £2.2bn, with like-for-like sales in company-managed shops up 2.4% on the year.

However, underlying operating profit declined 4% to £187.5m and underlying pre-tax profit was 9.4% lower at £171.9m. Greggs pinned the blame on volume pressure and increased fixed costs related to manufacturing, logistics and technology capacity.

Ithaca Energy jumped along with a resurgent oil price due to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
