FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:
----------
Marks & Spencer Group PLC, up 1.7% at 364.85 pence, 12-month range 308.9p-408.3p. Data from Worldpanel by Numerator shows that the retailer's grocery sales shot up 12% over the 12 weeks to June 14. For the UK as a whole, annual grocery price inflation in the four weeks to June 14 was 3.0%, easing from 3.1% in the month ended May 17. For the full 12 weeks of the survey to June 14, UK grocery sales rise 1.5% to GBP36.56 billion from GBP36.01 billion a year prior. In the final four weeks, take-home sales increase by 2.4%, coinciding with the UK's hottest May day on record and a ten-day heatwave. Ocado Retail, an Ocado PLC and Marks & Spencer joint venture, is the fastest-growing grocery retailer. Sales jump 14% to GBP807 million from GBP711 million, while its market share grows to 2.2% from 2.0%.
----------
Bunzl PLC, up 1.5% at 2,502 pence, 12-month range 1,989p-2,588p. The London-based distribution and outsourcing says it now expects 2026 revenue growth at constant exchange rates to be driven by modest underlying revenue growth, supported by some inflation and a small contribution from acquisitions. Leaves its operating margin guidance unchanged and continues to expect margin to be slightly lower year-on-year. For the six months ending June 30, Bunzl expects revenue growth of around 4% at constant exchange rates, including underlying revenue growth of about 3%. The company says growth was supported by inflation in certain product categories during the second quarter, reflecting higher product costs linked to geopolitical events. "We expect growth to be supported by inflation across certain categories in the second quarter, with product-cost increases driven by geopolitical events, and we are also seeing encouraging volume growth," Bunzl says. Acquisitions, net of disposals, are expected to contribute around 1% of first-half revenue growth, and Bunzl also announces the completion of the acquisition of Scientifix Group, an Australian distributor serving the life sciences and biotechnology sectors. Finally, Bunzl expects good year-on-year growth in adjusted operating profit at constant exchange rates in the first half, with operating margin increasing modestly due to inflation-related benefits and the annualisation of synergies from its acquisition of Nisbets.
----------
Telecom Plus PLC, down 26% at 710 pence, 12-month range 710p-2,025p. The London-based provider of bundled household utility services, under the Utility Warehouse brand, reports GBP113.0 million in pretax profit for the financial year ended March 31, up 6.7% from GBP105.9 million a year prior. Revenue advances 5.6% to GBP1.94 billion from GBP1.84 billion, with growth driven by higher customer numbers but offset in part by lower average energy consumption across the unseasonable warm winter period. Telecom Plus declares a final dividend of 12p, down 79% from 57p a year earlier, bringing its total dividend for the year to 50p, down 47% from 94p. However, the company is proposing that a further GBP40 million be allocated to share buybacks, lifting total shareholder distributions by 6.4% to 100p, from 94p. Less positively, the company sees adjusted pretax profit in financial 2027 in the range of GBP80 million to GBP90 million, down from GBP132.2 million in financial 2026, reflecting the first year of investment under its new five-year plan. Says that by 2031, however, it expects the plan to deliver adjusted pretax profit of around GBP175 million.
