"We expect a material positive share price reaction for Entain", Citi analyst Monique Pollard comments.

It loses two contract tenders and says it is considering reducing its dividend payout rate in response to the uncertainty caused by the war on Iran. The Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire-based engineering and manufacturing company says it is considering reverting to its previous dividend policy of distributing up to 38% of post-tax profit plus depreciation and amortisation. The company proposed moving to a 58% payout ratio as it released its most-recent full-year results in July last year from the 38% it had maintained since 2018. Goodwin says its firm fixed order book stood at GBP288 million at the end of last month, despite the Mechanical Engineering division losing two tenders worth about GBP60.6 million combined.
----------
Spire Healthcare Group PLC, down 18% at 155.8p, 12-month range 148.83p-256.50p. It remains in talks with other parties regarding a potential sale of the company after two London-based private equity firms withdrew their bid interest. Bridgepoint Group PLC, and Triton Investment Advisers, both released statements saying they no longer were interested in buying London-based private healthcare company Spire.
----------
IG Group Holdings, down 2.3% at 1,417.00 pence, 12-month range 860.00p-1,477.00p. The provider of online trading platforms hit this 12-month high last week after it announced a new GBP125 million share buyback and said it was launching a strategic review of the business. Shares are up 49% over the past year and it begins trading on the FTSE 100 on Monday as an index review takes effect.
