FTSE 250 movers: TP Icap recovers; Aston Martin slumps

London’s FTSE 250 was up 0.7% at 17,203.28 in afternoon trade on Wednesday.

TP Icap was the best performer on the index, having slid on Tuesday on the back of a trading statement.

Aston Martin Lagonda tumbled as the luxury car maker posted a wider-than-expected third-quarter loss and downgraded its volume outlook for the year.

In the three months to the end of September, the adjusted operating loss narrowed to £48.4m from £55.5m in the same period a year earlier, but came in worse than expectations of £37.5m. Meanwhile, revenue ticked up to £362.1m from £315.5m.

The luxury car maker backed its full-year guidance but made some changes to the volume outlook due to initial delays to the DB12 ramp-up in the third quarter. It now expects year-on-year growth in volumes to 6,700 units for 2023, down from around 7,000 previously.
