FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:
----------
Dunelm Group, down 12% at 776.75p, 12-month range 707.00p-1,246.00p. It reports steady annual profit, a slight revenue rise and the homewares retailer sets out a three-year growth plan. The plan will see the firm "saving to invest", by removing some GBP100 million of unproductive costs by financial 2029. In the year ended June 27, pretax profit was flat at GBP211.0 million, though total sales edged up 3.1% to GBP1.83 billion from GBP1.77 billion. It notes hot weather meant "significantly softer sales in the first six weeks of FY27". Alongside the aim to trim GBP100 million from its cost base, it notes non-recurring expenditure totalling GBP30 million to GBP40 million across the next two years. This is "primarily to strengthen our foundational infrastructure". It also notes increased capital expenditure, totalling some GBP125 million above its recent run-rate across the next three years. This will go towards the expansion and renewal of its stores. The plan aims for "a return to sustainable mid-to-high single digit sales growth".
----------
Johnson Service Group, down 8.0% at 132.2p, 12-month range 123.80p-172.10p. The workwear provider says its annual margin goal "remains on track, despite challenging market conditions". Pretax profit in the first half of 2026 rose 4.5% to GBP20.8 million from GBP19.9 million, while revenue edged up 0.2% to GBP258.0 million from GBP257.5 million, despite declining 0.7% on an organic basis. It ups its dividend by 13% to 1.8p per share from 1.6p. "Macroeconomic headwinds continue to influence competitive dynamics across the group's end market," the firm says. Johnson Service explains that there was a slower start to the year in the hotel, restaurant, cafe and catering market, or Horeca. It adds: "The seasonal uplift in Horeca over the summer months was more modest than originally anticipated and we expect that softer trading will persist throughout the remainder of the year. However, productivity improvements and our strong focus on operational cost management continue to help mitigate the impact of lower volumes in Horeca." Despite "ongoing market challenges", it still expects to achieve its adjusted operating margin target of "at least 14.0%" in 2026. In the first half, the margin expanded to 11.6% from 11.1% a year prior. In 2025 as a whole, it was 13.5%.
----------
Harbour Energy, up 3.4% at 271.8p, 12-month range 182.00p-321.00p. Brent spikes to above USD99 a barrel on Tuesday, its highest level since July, as the Middle East conflict continues to worry traders.
----------
Lloyds Banking Group, down 2.0% at 111.075p, 12-month range 79.52p-117.90p. Weaker risk appetite hits banking shares. Equity market sentiment has been hit by bond market worry and Bloomberg reports that the UK government is marketing a January 2056 bond at around 0.75 to 1 basis point over a 2055 gilt. "That would be the highest yield for any gilt sale since the Debt Management Office was created in 1998," Bloomberg reports. The UK 10-year gilt yield spiked to 5.20% from 5.15% late Monday.
----------
Computacenter, down 1.0% at 5,545.00p, 12-month range 2,242.00p-6,045.00p. It hails a record first half and the technology and services provider, which is a partner of chipmaker Nvidia, lifts its yearly outlook. Pretax profit in the six months to June 30 surged 95% to GBP142.6 million from GBP73.2 million, while revenue jumped 72% to GBP6.85 billion from GBP3.99 billion. Computacenter has raised its dividend by 15% to 27.1 pence per share from 23.6p. Adjusted pretax profit jumped 87% to GBP152.4 million from GBP81.5 million. For the whole of 2026, it now expects adjusted pretax profit "significantly ahead of current market expectations" and "no less than GBP380 million". It puts consensus at GBP340.9 million. Adjusted pretax profit in 2025 amounted to GBP272.0 million. "Computacenter delivered a record first half, significantly ahead of our expectations at the start of the year, as we converted strong and growing customer demand for digital infrastructure into substantial revenue, gross profit and operating profit growth," Chief Executive Officer Mike Norris says. The firm says it is entering the second half in a "strong position", with a record committed order backlog sized at GBP9.3 billion. Shares initially moved higher following the results but suffered selling pressure as the morning dragged on. The stock has more than doubled over the past 12 months.
