FTSE 250 movers: Clarkson surges on update; Oil price jumps boosts energy stocks
FTSE 250 (MCX) 19,836.12 -0.84%
Shipping services firm Clarkson said on Friday that results for the year to the end of December 2024 are set to be "slightly ahead" of current market expectations.
The company now expects underlying pre-tax profit to be "not less than" £115m. This compares to £109.2m in the year to the end of December 2023.
Results are due for release on 10 March.
A higher oil price on supply concerns boosted Harbour Energy and Diversified Energy, but also hit shares in Wizz Air, which is sensitive to price movements.
