Ten Entertainment Group PLC, up 7.6% at 282.02 pence, 12-month range 133.8p-282.-2p. The ten-pin bowling operator says it has continued to perform very well, with like-for-like sales growth compared to 2019 remaining above 30% through September and October. "This continuing strong sales performance means that the group now expects to make a modest profit before tax for FY21, ahead of previous expectations where a modest loss had been anticipated," it says.
