FTSE 250 movers: ContourGlobal surges on deal news; TI Fluid in the red

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 0.5% at 20,014.56 in afternoon trade on Tuesday. Power generation firm ContourGlobal surged after agreeing to be bought by private equity group KKR for £1.75bn. Under the terms of the deal, KKR will pay 263.6p per share in cash, which is a premium of 36% to the closing share price on Monday.

KKR said the company's existing business provides a compelling platform for significant future organic and inorganic value-accretive growth, driven by the changing nature of the energy industry as a result of decarbonisation targets.

Bulmers and Magners owner C&C Group fizzed higher after saying it swung to a full-year profit as Covid restrictions eased.

In the year to 28 February, the company swung to an operating profit of €47.9m from a loss of €63.6m the year before, with revenues up 88% at €1.44bn. C&C said its performance was driven by 207.8% growth in on-trade net revenue amid fewer trading restrictions in the year.

Wizz Air was also trading up after the budget airline announced plans to set up a Maltese subsidiary.

On the downside, TI Fluid Systems slumped as it reported a decline in first-quarter revenues and volumes, pointing to supply chain disruptions.
