FTSE 250 movers: Ocado hit by broker note; Bodycote, Babcock fall

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 0.9% at 20,377.54 in afternoon trade on Tuesday. Ocado was also under the cosh after Morgan Stanley cut its price target on the shares to 215p from 345p.

The bank said further downside was expected after North American partner Sobeys announced last week that it was delaying the launch of its latest customer fulfilment centre.

Morgan Stanley rates the shares at 'underweight'.

Bodycote and Babcock also fell after a profit warning from Airbus.
