FTSE 250 movers: Harbour Energy tanks; Balfour Beatty rallies

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,377.60 -0.51% Harbour Energy tanked after its third-largest shareholder, EIG Management, sold 60m shares in a placing to institutional investors, raising about £153m.

4Imprint tumbled after results, as it said tariff-related costs may influence revenue and margins in 2026.

Hochschild Mining was also weaker even as it reported a rise in annual earnings as geopolitical turmoil boosted precious metals prices.

On the upside, Balfour Beatty rallied after it posted a jump in full-year profits, driven by strong performances in UK construction and support services.

Construction materials group Breedon racked up strong gains as it hailed another year of revenue and EBITDA growth and a record cash performance.
