FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:
----------
Shell PLC, up 2.8% at 2,993.50 pence, 12-month range 2,541.71p-3,758.50p. Raises second-quarter guidance for integrated gas and upstream production, while saying gas trading results will be "significantly higher" than in the first quarter following heightened market volatility during the Middle East conflict. The oil major also agrees to sell its South African downstream business to Abu Dhabi National Oil Co for an enterprise value of USD1.0 billion, exiting the country's fuel retail, aviation and lubricants markets through the disposal of its 580-service station network.
----------
BP PLC, up 1.2% at 473.40 pence, 12-month range 370.85p-609.40p. Agrees to sell its non-operated interest in the Bay du Nord project offshore Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada, to Equinor ASA. BP says the transaction is consistent with its focus on portfolio simplification and disciplined capital allocation. BP holds interests across 10 licences associated with the Bay du Nord project, representing an average working interest of around 37%, with Equinor being the operator.
----------
Rentokil Initial PLC, up 2.5% at 455.95 pence, 12-month range 334.80p-507.00p. Goldman Sachs upgrades the pest control firm to 'buy' from 'neutral' and raises its price target to 590p from 515p, saying recent share price weakness offers an attractive entry point. The broker expects North American organic growth to continue improving through 2027, supported by operational improvements and investment following the Terminix acquisition, and believes stronger execution could narrow Rentokil's valuation gap with US peer Rollins.
----------
Keller Group PLC, up 21% at 3,256.00 pence, 12-month range 1,238.00p-3,290.00p. Upgrades its full-year outlook, with the geotechnical contractor now expecting revenue and underlying operating profit to come in materially ahead of market expectations of GBP3.15 billion and GBP223 million, respectively. Keller cites exceptional trading in North America, where strong demand for infrastructure and data centre projects has driven performance across its US and Canadian operations, which account for around 60% of group revenue. Keller also reports robust trading in Europe and the Middle East, says tendering activity remains buoyant and highlights its strong cash generation and balance sheet as it backs its long-term growth strategy.
----------
Victrex PLC, up 20% at 697.50 pence, 12-month range 515.00p-794.00p. Reports stronger-than-expected third-quarter trading and reaffirms full-year guidance. The polymer solutions provider posts an 18% increase in quarterly revenue to GBP84.5 million as sales volumes rise 17% to 1,238 tonnes, driven by continued momentum in aerospace and electronics within its Sustainable Solutions business and signs of stabilisation in medical markets. Victrex maintains guidance for underlying pretax profit of GBP42 million to GBP44 million in financial 2026 and says it remains on track to deliver at least GBP10 million of annualised cost savings by financial 2027 under its profit improvement plan.
