Travis Perkins tanked as the builders' merchant said it barely broke even in 2024 on the back of falling volumes and prices and an underperforming merchanting business, with the bottom line weighed down further by £139m in impairment charges.
Irish convenience food manufacturer Greencore surged as it lifted its full-year profit outlook following a strong second quarter.
Spire Healthcare advanced after saying it had bought Acorn Occupational Health for £3.3m.
AJ Bell and IntegraFin both gained after upgrades to 'buy' at Deutsche Bank.
