FTSE 100 movers: Experian, IMI, BSkyB, ENRC

Thu, 09th May 2013 14:17

Credit checking giant Experian topped the FTSE Thursday after reporting full-year sales growth across all its global markets, particularly in Latin and North America. In the year to end-March, the company saw revenues from continuing activities rise six per cent to 4.7bn dollars, with earnings before interest and tax up seven per cent to 1.25bn dollars. Engineer IMI gained after delivering a positive full-year outlook despite a slow start to the year with revenues down 3.0% in the first four months of 2013. Analysts at Jefferies International said the company remains a "good, well managed business".Lloyds Banking Group advanced as it announced plans to axe 850 jobs in a bid to lower costs. The banking giant is trying to cut expenses by £1.5bn annually.British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB), on the other hand, dipped after rival BT Group announced it would offer its sports channels free to any BT broadband customer. It followed an early morning rise after BSkyB announced it would invest another $1.9m equity investment in streaming platform Roku.Eurasian Natural Resources Company retreated after the group said severe winter weather hit first quarter production at its iron ore division. Revenues fell slightly compared to the previous quarter, reflecting weaker commodity prices.Morrison Supermarket declined after posting a 1.8% fall in like-for-like sales in the first quarter, excluding fuel, as the company worked to improve its convenience store offering and promote competitive pricing.
