FTSE 250 movers: Diversified Energy slumps for second week in a row

FTSE 250: 19,076.22, +0.00%

Diversified Energy Company registered another sharp share price fall on Tuesday, a week after a 12% slump that forced it to issue a statement saying there was no "operational or company-specific reason for this share price movement".

"The company further confirms there has been no material change to its financial and operational condition," it said last Tuesday, adding that it planned to issue its fourth quarter and year-end 2023 trading statement during the customary timeframe at the end of this month.

Crest Nicholson dipped as the housebuilder posted a bigger-than-expected fall in annual profits but said it was encouraged by an increase in customer inquiries as borrowing costs fell.

Royal Mail parent IDS rose after an upgrade to ‘buy’ at HSBC.
