FTSE 250 movers: TP ICAP slumps; Vesuvius gains

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,890.06 -0.05%

TP ICAP was weaker even as it posted a 9% increase in interim revenue - a record level of growth - and a 10% rise in EBIT.

Telecom Plus rallied after results as the utility firm on Wednesday said it expects customer numbers to rise by around 25% in the current financial year after acquiring a second batch of broadband and landline customers from TalkTalk, as it continued to expand through strategic purchases and cross-selling.

Vesuvius reported a sharp fall in earnings for the first half of 2025 on Wednesday, as tough trading conditions in key markets and ongoing pricing pressures offset cost-saving efforts and market share gains.

Promotional products specialist 4imprint said on Wednesday that operating profits had edged higher in H1, even as revenues ticked lower, as it was forced to navigate a challenging customer acquisition landscape.

4imprint said revenues for the six months ended 28 June fell 1% year-on-year to $659.4m, but operating profit edged up 1% to $70.7m, supported by an improved margin of 10.7%, up from 10.5% a year earlier. Pre-tax profits also rose 1%, coming to $74.0m in the half, reflecting disciplined cost control and pricing adjustments.
