24th Apr 2025 16:18

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 19,476.57 -0.03%

Indivior led the risers after results beat expectations. The company reported first-quarter total net revenue of $266m, down 6% but beating the consensus estimate of $243m.

Operating income fell 12% to $66m, with net income down 23% at $47m.

Shares in Senior sparked, after the high-tech engineering firm reiterated its full-year outlook and downplayed the impact of tariffs.

Updating on the three months to March end, the FTSE 250 company said it had seen "robust" trading during the first quarter.

Group revenues rose 3% year-on-year, with aerospace sales up 4%, driven by growth in civil aviation.

Flexonics revenues were largely in line with the previous year, after lower sales to upstream oil and gas customers were largely offset by a strong performance in downstream oil and gas.

Overall, the book to bill ratio was 1.34, which Senior called "healthy".

Looking to the rest of the year, it acknowledged that the global tariff regime kick-started by Donald Trump could have a broad macroeconomic impact on the markets it operates in.

Automotive distributor Inchcape said on Thursday that revenues had fallen amid what it called an "uncertain market environment" during Q1.

Inchcape said group revenues were down 5% at £2.1bn, with new vehicle sales slipping 3% and underlying total insurable value falling 4%. Group organic revenue was 5% lower and reported revenues dropped 8%.

The FTSE 250-listed group said it had seen a continued improvement in performance in the Americas, with further growth throughout Q1, while it had experienced continuing headwinds in several key markets in the Asia-Pacific region and lower revenues in Europe & Africa, driven by order bank unwind.
