FTSE 250 movers: Lancashire Holdings gains on results; Wizz flies lower

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 1% at 18,032.52 in afternoon trade on Thursday. Lancashire Holdings was the standout gainer on the index as it reported significant growth and a robust financial performance in an update, with a 23.2% year-on-year increase in gross premiums written to $1.6bn.

Domino's Pizza was in the red as it said sales had grown in the third quarter despite a slowdown in deliveries.

Domino's said total system sales were up 5.5%, reflecting an acceleration in new store openings, but total orders were down 1.2% in the quarter to 16.7m. Total orders have since returned to growth, up 1.2% so far in Q4.

Delivery orders were down 6.3% in Q3 as a result of "softer demand" in the wider delivery market.

Wizz Air flew lower after the low-cost airline said full-year profits would be at the bottom end of guidance due to a "difficult" environment.

Opioid addiction treatment maker Indivior was weaker after saying it swung to a loss in the third quarter despite a strong performance from Sublocade.
