FTSE 250 movers: Senior jumps on aerostructures sale

Fri 18 Jul 2025 15:35

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,914.52 0.68%

Industrial parts maker Senior shot higher as it announced the sale of its aerostructures business to Sullivan Street Partners, a UK-based private equity investor, for a total enterprise value of up to £200m. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce net debt and fund a £40m share buyback.

Ocado surged for the second day in a row after saying on Thursday that its full-year outlook remains on track as it swung to a big profit in the first half, in which both the tech and logistics divisions delivered double-digit top-line increases.

Luxury fashion house Burberry jumped as it said comparable sales fell by 1% in the three months to 28 June, beating expectations for a 3% decline.

Investment firm Bridgepoint said it delivered a strong first-half with "encouraging progress" on fundraising, as assets under management (AuM) jumped by a fifth compared with last year.

AuM totalled $86.6bn by 30 June, up from $72.2bn a year earlier and $75.6bn at the end of the last fiscal year on 31 December. Fee-paying AuM increased by 2% year-on-year to €37.5bn.
