FTSE 250 movers: Vistry up on upbeat outlook; WoS running slow

Fri 08 Jul 2022 13:54

(Sharecast News) - The FTSE 250 was up 0.18% at 18,841.74 at 1519 BST. Shares in house builder Vistry gained as the company said it expected price rises to drive margins above full year targets after a better-than-expected first half driven by strong demand.

The company added that it continued to expect adjusted annual pre-tax profit to be at the top end of market forecasts of £417m.

Completions for the first six months of the year rose to 3,219 up from 3,126. Forward sales increased to £2.9bn from £2.7bn.

"Wider industry cost pressures, including rising energy costs and increasing wages, are resulting in higher costs for certain materials," Vistry said in a trading update on Friday.

"Overall, we continue to expect to see build cost inflation for FY 22 in the region of 6%. Our focused commercial controls and strong client relationships have enabled us to effectively manage input-cost pressures in respect of our pre sold volume."

Tullow Oil and Petrofac both rallied on a rise in the Brent crude price.

Watches of Switzerland fell as investors took profits a day after the company posted record profits.
