FTSE 100 movers: Computacenter gains, LSEG in the red

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.5% at 10,656.90 in afternoon trade on Friday. Computacenter was among the top performers. Earlier in the week, the tech provider said full-year earnings were set to be "significantly ahead" of forecasts after it almost doubled interim profits on the back of a strong performance in North America driven by demand for artificial intelligence-related infrastructure.

It now expects adjusted earnings to be at least £380m compared with a company-compiled consensus of £341m.

On the downside, LSEG, Sage Group and Relx were among the biggest losers, while Barratt Redrow nudged lower after UBS cut its price target on the housebuilder to 370p from 402p.
