FTSE 100 & 250 movers in focus:

Intertek Group PLC, up 12% at 4,268.00 pence, 12-month range 3,519.42p-5,150.00p. Launches a strategic review of its Energy & Infrastructure division, considering options including a potential sale or demerger. The London-based assurance, inspection and testing group says the process will assess the best way to unlock value from Intertek Energy & Infrastructure, with completion and implementation targeted by mid-2027.
----------
Imperial Brands PLC, down 8.2% at 2,830.25 pence, 12-month range 2,648.00p-3,632.04p. Reiterates full-year guidance and reports a positive start to its 2030 transformation strategy, with first-half trading in line with expectations. Expects low-single-digit net revenue growth across tobacco and next-generation products in the first half, supported by pricing and innovation. Maintains guidance for at least high-single-digit earnings per share growth, free cash flow of at least £2.2 billion, and 3-5% adjusted operating profit growth. Notes no material impact from Middle East tensions so far, though uncertainty remains for the second half.
----------
Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC, up 6.7% at 43.45 pence, 12-month range 35.40p-89.00p. Shares in the luxury carmaker rise despite Deutsche Bank Research cutting its price target to 55p from 65p, retaining a ’hold’ rating.
----------
Atalaya Mining Copper SA, down 0.8% at 799.25 pence, 12-month range 320.50p-1,094.00p. First-quarter output is hit by ‘unusually heavy rains’. The owner of the Riotinto asset in Huelva, southern Spain, says copper production falls to 9,939 tonnes in the first three months of the year, from 14,291 a year earlier and 11,550 in the fourth quarter. Atalaya maintains full-year guidance of 50,000 to 54,000 tonnes. The firm adds that the Middle East conflict has ‘the potential to disrupt supply chains and increase energy prices’.
----------
BP PLC, down 0.4% at 577.20 pence, 12-month range 337.65p-609.40p. Expects an ‘exceptional’ oil trading result in the first quarter, following a weak fourth quarter, supported by stronger refining margins and higher oil prices. Says Brent averages $81.13 per barrel in the period, up from $63.73 in the fourth quarter, while its refining indicator margin improves to $16.9 per barrel from $15.2, reflecting stronger market conditions. Says heightened volatility in crude oil, natural gas, and refined products, driven by the Middle East crisis, is expected to impact financial results, including trading performance and working capital movements. Brent was trading at $97.90 a barrel on Tuesday, edging below the $100 mark and down from $101.95 late Monday.
