FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:

The London-based cigarette and nicotine product maker said its latest share buyback programme starts next Tuesday and ends on July 29. The Dunhill and Kent maker says the purpose of the programme is to reduce its share capital, and shares repurchased will be cancelled. Says it seeks to buy back up to 217.5 million shares. UBS has agreed to conduct the repurchases. Back in March 2024, BAT unveiled a GBP1.60 billion buyback move before extending it by announcing a GBP1.3 billion repurchase drive in December last year.

----------

Barratt Redrow PLC, up 1.5% at 298.45 pence, 12-month range 241.2p-473.9p. The Leicestershire, England-based house builder confirms that Dean Banks will join Barratt as its new chief executive on September 21. Barratt had announced Banks's hiring back in March, but at the time said only that he would start in the fourth quarter. Banks joins from Ventia Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based provider of infrastructure services, having previously worked for construction firm Balfour Beatty PLC. Outgoing CEO David Thomas will remain in post until Banks joins and will remain with the company until March 2027 to facilitate the transition. Also, Berenberg raises Barratt Redrow to 'buy' from 'hold', and raises its price target to 348p from 414p.

----------

Bellway PLC, up 2.5% at 2,064 pence, 12-month range 1,715p-2,980p. Berenberg raises Bellway to 'buy' from 'hold', and raises its price target to 2,400p from 2,100p.
