FTSE 100 movers: Kingfisher gains after results; Intertek hit by downgrade

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 1.5% at 7,497.68 in afternoon trade on Monday.

B&Q owner Kingfisher gained after it reiterated annual guidance as it reported an expected fall in first-quarter sales and announced a £300m share buyback. The company said total group sales fell 5.8% to £3.2bn in the three months to April 22, in line with its expectations, against tough comparators last year when a DIY boom amid Covid lockdowns boosted revenues.

Inspection, product testing and certification company Intertek was knocked lower by a downgrade to 'hold' at Stifel.

Spirax-Sarco edged down as it said it was considering closing its loss-making Chromalox manufacturing facility in Soissons, France.

The company has begun a consultation with trade unions about the financial underperformance of the facility and its consequences, including potential closure of the site.
