FTSE 100 movers: Sports Direct sinks on Ashley's transaction

Thu, 24th Oct 2013 14:34

Sports Direct, the High Street retailer which impressed the market with its first-half trading update yesterday, sank sharply today. The firm revealed that MASH Holdings, a company wholly owned by founder and Deputy Chairman Mike Ashley, sold 16m shares (a 2.7% stake) at 662.5p each, a 7.5% discount to Wednesday's closing price. The £106m sale reduced MASH's holding to 61.7%.Meanwhile, increased risk appetite helped the share prices of miners Antofagasta and Fresnillo higher.Drugmaker Shire climbed after it increased its full year earnings guidance from 'double digit' to 'mid-to-high teens' after extracting encouraging cost saving in the third quarter. The three months to September 30th saw a 13% increase in product sales lift total revenues 12% to $1.24bn, leading to operating profits and earnings both surging 30% to $422m and $1.77 per share. Aberdeen Asset Management climbed on the news it was in talks with Lloyds for the potential acquisition of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership. Banking stocks in general were higher, rebounding after the announcement of European Central Bank stress tests scared investors yesterday. Lloyds was among the top 10 performers this afternoon. Power systems group Rolls-Royce rose after winning a contract for the supply of thrusters and deck machinery for use in drilling offshore Korea.Advertising giant WPP advanced after reporting a 7.2% rise in revenue to £8.2bn in the first nine months on the back of acquisitions and new business wins.
