12th Jul 2024 14:59

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,151.31 -0.18%

Moonpig rebounded from Thursday's slump when a group of investors sold 35m shares in the company in a placing via Citi, JPMorgan and Jefferies, raising proceeds of approximately £61m.

Crest Nicholson Holdings gained after saying on Thursday it was "minded" to recommend Bellway's revised £720m takeover offer.

Office owner and operator Workspace Group gave up gains made on Thursday after an improvement in pricing helped lift rental income in its first quarter as occupancy held stable, while new lettings were bolstered by "resilient" customer demand.
