FTSE 250 movers: Man Group boosted by upgrade; Spirent falls again

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 0.5% at 17,694.49 in afternoon trade on Friday. Man Group rallied after an upgrade to 'outperform' at Exane BNP.

Pub chain JD Wetherspoon reversed earlier losses after saying it swung to a full-year profit as sales rose by over a tenth, though underlying growth has eased somewhat in the first quarter of the new financial year.

Spirent Communications was under the cosh again, having tanked earlier in the week after cutting its near-term outlook.
