FTSE 250 movers: NCC tanks; FirstGroup motors

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,929.78 -0.57%

Shares in NCC tanked on Tuesday despite the Manchester-based cybersecurity and software services firm delivering in-line annual results, as investors focused on the outlook statement, which pointed to a lengthening of sales cycles in recent months.

FirstGroup announced an agreement to acquire London bus operator RATP Dev Transit London the French state-owned from RATP Développement on Tuesday, for an enterprise value of £90m.

Moonpig said on Tuesday that it swung to a pre-tax loss in the first half as it pointed to "challenging" trading in its Experiences segment.

In the six months to the end of October, the greeting cards and gift retailer swung to a reported pre-tax loss of £33.3m from a profit of £18.9m in the same period a year earlier. Adjusted pre-tax profit was up 9% at £27.3m.
