FTSE 250 movers: Vesuvius erupts; Big Yellow feeling blue
(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,350.94 -0.22% Molten metal flow engineering specialist Vesuvius said in a trading update on Tuesday that it anticipated trading profit for the 2024 financial year to be slightly below 2023 levels on a constant currency basis, maintaining a return on sales margin of around 10.2%.
Bodycote said on Tuesday that full-year operating profit was set to be in line with market expectations as it hailed a "resilient performance in challenging end markets".
In an update for the period from 1 July to end of October, the provider of heat treatment and specialist thermal processing services said group revenue grew by 0.2% organically, excluding surcharges.
Petershill Partners, a global investor in alternative asset managers, reported a solid third-quarter performance in an update on Tuesday, supported by strong partner fee-related earnings (FRE) and significant capital returns.
The FTSE 250 company said that despite a 1% quarterly decline in aggregate partner-firm assets under management (AuM) to $328bn, the figure still rose 8% year-on-year, while aggregate fee-paying partner-firm AuM increased 18% annually to $233bn, reflecting robust long-term growth.
Self-storage warehouse operator Big Yellow Group has predicted a return to earnings per share growth in the second half after a slight reduction in the first six months of its financial year as higher operating costs weighed on the bottom line.
The group reported an adjusted pre-tax profit of £54.9m for the first half ended 30 September on revenues of £103m - both up 3% on the previous year.
However, EPRA earnings per share were down 3% at 28p, as a result of higher operating costs and additional shares in issue following a placing last October, which should only impact the first half of the year.
