FTSE 250 movers: Savills, Rank surge; Miners slide

Thu 13 Aug 2026 13:43

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 24,915.20 0.40%

Savills backed its full-year expectations on Thursday as it posted a rise in first-half profit and revenue, with year-on-year growth across all business segments and a "significant" improvement in profitability in North America.

In the six months to the end of June, underlying pre-tax profit was up 47% to £34.4m, on revenue of £1.2bn, up 9% on the same period a year earlier. Savills said revenue was driven by strong growth in its transactional businesses across all regions, a resilient performance from its less transactional businesses and the positive impact of previous restructuring.

Shares in gambling operator Rank jumped on Thursday after it reported higher annual earnings.

The casino and bingo hall owner said underlying operating profit increased 21 to £78.6m in the year to June 30.

Grosvenor casinos delivered a 5% rise in average weekly net gaming revenue to £7.6m, helped by higher customer visits and spend per visit. The rollout of 850 gaming machines across 37 casinos and ongoing optimisation work supported growth, though table gaming was softer late in the year due to the conflict in the Middle East.

Gold miners fell in line with a lower gold price.

The Renewables Infrastructure Group fell as the shares traded without entitlement to a dividend.
