FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:
----------
XP Power Ltd, up 7.9% at 1,942.00 pence, 12-month range 843.00p-2,060.00p. Jefferies raises the power control systems maker to 'buy' from 'hold' and lifts its price target to 2,330p from 1,870p. The new target implies around 20% upside from XP Power's current share price.
----------
THG PLC, down 3.0% at 26.83 pence, 12-month range 26.62p-52.55p. Extends Thursday's losses following interim earnings, when shares of the owner of the Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty and Myprotein brands dropped 13% as a warning over new European Union parcel duties overshadowed a strong first-half profit performance. THG expects third-quarter revenue growth of around 2%, with sales hurt by the European heatwave, the introduction of EU duties for THG Beauty from July 1, and the phasing of own-brand beauty revenue into the fourth quarter and financial 2027. The company says these factors are expected to be one-off in nature, while third-quarter earnings and cash generation remain in line with expectations and "robust".
----------
Harbour Energy PLC, down 2.9% at 269.70 pence, 12-month range 182.00p-321.00p. BASF sells 133 million Harbour Energy shares, representing a 7.9% stake, at 266p each in a transaction worth GBP353.8 million. Morgan Stanley places 80.0 million shares with institutional investors, while Harbour agrees to buy back a further 53.0 million shares from BASF for cancellation. The German chemicals group retains a 16% stake in Harbour and agrees to a 60-day lock-up preventing further sales. Around USD40 million of Harbour's purchase from BASF will count towards its ongoing USD250 million share buyback programme.
----------
Pan African Resources PLC, down 2.7% at 122.85 pence, 12-month range 74.74p-190.40p. Completes a definitive feasibility study for its Soweto Tailings Retreatment project in South Africa, outlining annual gold production of 35,000 to 40,000 ounces and life-of-mine output of around 561,000 ounces over approximately 15 years. The study estimates project capital of ZAR3.68 billion, or USD216 million, following around ZAR718 million of identified savings, with a post-tax net present value of USD109 million, an internal rate of return of 29.55% and a payback period of around three years at a gold price of USD3,550 an ounce. Pan African says the project could lift annual gold production from its wider Mogale Tailings Retreatment complex to around 100,000 ounces at peak production. A final investment decision is targeted for December, subject to board approval, financing and regulatory authorisations.
----------
Trainline PLC, up 3.0% at 195.60 pence, 12-month range 178.00p-307.60p. The rail and coach travel platform announces a new GBP100 million share buyback as it reports resilient first-half trading and reiterates its full-year guidance. Group net ticket sales are broadly flat on-year at GBP3.26 billion in the six months to August 31, while underlying revenue slips 0.9% to GBP233 million from GBP235 million. Trainline says UK rail demand remains resilient despite disruption from hot weather, strikes and a regulated fare freeze. It continues to expect financial 2027 net ticket sales of GBP6.20 billion to GBP6.45 billion and underlying revenue of GBP440 million to GBP455 million, while adjusted Ebitda as a percentage of net ticket sales is expected to slightly beat its around 2.9% guidance. The new buyback will begin after completion of its existing GBP150 million programme and run over the next 12 months.
