FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:
----------
Smith & Nephew PLC, down 7.2% at 1,111.25 pence, 12-month range 1,050.00p-1,441.50p. Cuts its full-year sales growth guidance to 4% from around 6% after second-quarter underlying revenue growth of 1.6% missed consensus, hurt by weaker demand for US hip and knee implants. First-half revenue rises 4.6% to USD3.10 billion from USD2.96 billion a year earlier, while operating profit increases 4.3% to USD448 million from USD429 million. Smith & Nephew maintains its profit, free cash flow and return on invested capital guidance, citing USD130 million of efficiency savings in the first half, and raises its interim dividend by 4.0% to 15.6 US cents.
----------
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC, down 4.0% at 7,735.00 pence, 12-month range 6,280.00p-8,545.00p. The soft drinks bottler reaffirms annual guidance despite slower second-quarter growth, saying the consumer backdrop remains challenging and the impact of the Middle East conflict remains uncertain. First-half pretax profit rises 6.3% to EUR1.34 billion from EUR1.26 billion a year earlier, while revenue increases 4.4% to EUR10.72 billion from EUR10.27 billion and operating profit climbs 6.9% to EUR1.46 billion. Second-quarter revenue growth slows to 2.5% from 6.7% in the first quarter, but the company still expects full-year comparable, currency-neutral revenue growth of 3% to 4% and operating profit growth of around 7%, while raising its interim dividend 3.8% to EUR0.82 per share.
----------
Antofagasta PLC, up 3.9% at 3,821.00 pence, 12-month range 1,902.50-4,475.00p. The Chile-focused copper miner gains as copper prices climb to their highest level in two months, nearing USD14,000 a tonne on the London Metal Exchange, with traders monitoring rising US stockpiles ahead of President Donald Trump's expected decision on copper import tariffs.
----------
Travis Perkins PLC, up 18% at 674.25 pence, 12-month range 493.40p-723.50p. The builders' merchant jumps after first-half pretax profit rises 27% to GBP47.0 million from GBP37.1 million a year earlier, despite revenue edging down to GBP2.26 billion from GBP2.30 billion. Travis Perkins says it is seeing "encouraging early progress" in its operational turnaround and remains confident about its prospects, expecting second-half trading conditions to be similar to the first half. The company cuts its interim dividend 11% to 4.0p from 4.5p, while guiding for 2026 base capital expenditure of GBP60 million to GBP70 million and around GBP5 million in property profits.
----------
Metro Bank Holdings PLC, down 9.6% at 162.40 pence, 12-month range 98.30p-185.60p. The lender's shares fall despite first-half pretax profit rising 41% to GBP60.7 million from GBP43.1 million and underlying revenue increasing to GBP301.0 million from GBP286.1 million, as investors focus on a slip in customer deposits and lower capital and liquidity ratios. The CET1 capital ratio slips to 12.3% from 12.8% a year earlier, while the liquidity coverage ratio falls to 270% from 315%. Metro Bank nevertheless reaffirms all guidance for 2026 and beyond, with earnings per share improving to 4.7p from 4.5p.
