FTSE 250 movers: THG slumps; Oil stocks gain

Thu 10 Sep 2026 14:57

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 23,940.24 -0.70%

Nutrition and beauty brand owner THG beat its own guidance for sales and profits in the first half, with adjusted operating profits more than doubling, though shares fell as the company reported a significant revenue slowdown in the third quarter.

Group revenues totalled £828.7m over the six months to 30 June, up 7.2% over the year before and ahead of the 6.5% growth guided to at THG's AGM in June.

Adjusted EBITDA surged 109% on a like-for-like basis to £42.8m, beating its own forecasts for a result of "at least £40m", helped by the adjusted EBITDA margin rising to 5.2% from 3.1% the year before.

Animal genetics firm Genus reported a rise in full-year profit and announced a £60m share buyback, but the shares slumped as revenue missed expectations.

Harbour Energy and Ithaca Energy were both higher as the price of Brent crude hovered above $100 a barrel.

Rosebank Industries, Greggs, Grafton Group, Atalaya Mining all fell after going ex-dividend.
