FTSE 250 movers: Wizz Air soars; Marshalls tanks

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,038.53 -0.53%

Close Brothers rose as it sold its Winterflood execution services and securities business to Marex Group for £103.9m in cash as it slims down its portfolios to focus on the group's core lending activities.

Wizz Air flew higher after an upgrade to 'overweight' from 'equalweight' by Barclays, while Softcat rallied after an upgrade to 'buy' from 'hold' at Panmure Liberum.

On the downside, Marshalls tumbled as it warned on profits following a weaker-than-expected performance from its landscaping products business. Building supplier Travis Perkins fell on the sentiment.

Jupiter Fund Management slumped despite reporting better-than-expected underlying first-half pre-tax profit and improved flows.
