FTSE 250 movers: 4Imprint rallies; Greggs in the red

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 0.4% at 19,072.67 in afternoon trade on Tuesday. 4Imprint rallied as it said that demand continued to be robust and that it was set to beat analysts' estimates for half-year profits.

Domino's Pizza gained after it lifted its full-year profit forecast as it announced a £70m share buyback and posted a jump in first-half profit.

In the 26 weeks to 25 June, underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 8.2% to £68.7m on revenue of £332.9m, up 19.6%. Domino's said revenue was driven by an increase in system sales volume, acceleration of store openings and the pass-through of food costs.

Industrial thread maker Coats Group was up even as it downgraded its full-year expectations and reported a decline in first-half profit and revenue.

In the six months to the end of June, adjusted operating profit fell to $107m from $125m, with revenue down 11% to $715m and organic revenue down 19%. Coats pointed to widespread industry destocking in apparel and footwear, and previously-disclosed customer contract insourcing in the performance materials segment.

Builders' merchant Travis Perkins rose despite posting a drop in first-half profit and revenue amid weak markets.

Bakery chain Greggs was under the cosh despite backing its full-year guidance as it posted a jump in first-half profit and sales.

In the 26 weeks to 1 July, pre-tax profit rose to £80m from £55.8m in the same period a year earlier, on sales of £844m, up from £694.5m. The company declared a dividend per share of 16p, up from 15p.
