FTSE 250 movers: Ocado, IntegraFin in the black

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 0.4% at 19,800.86 in afternoon trade on Tuesday. Ocado surged as Ocado Retail delivered a strong finish to its financial year, with sales growth accelerating in the fourth quarter as weekly orders reached a milestone of 500,000 for the first time.

The company, which is the grocery joint venture between Ocado Group and Marks & Spencer, reported retail revenues of £715.8m for the 13 weeks to 1 December, up 17.5% year-on-year and a pick-up from the 15.5% growth seen in the third quarter. That was followed by a record performance over the key Christmas trading period, Ocado Retail said.

IntegraFin gained as it reported a record quarter end for funds under direction (FUD) on the Transact platform of £65.9bn, up 3% during the quarter and 14% over the past year.

Chemring rose as it said its subsidiary Roke has signed a multi-year agreement with a major US Prime Contractor for the supply of its high-speed Miniature Radar Altimeter (MRA).

The agreement has a value of at least £26m ($32m) over four years with deliveries commencing in October 2025 and production taking place at Roke's Romsey, UK, site.

Crest Nicholson was in the black even as the housebuilder delayed publication of its full-year results amid a hike in fire safety provisions. It now expects the total fire remediation provision to be between £245m and £255m, an overall jump of between £120m and £130m.
