FTSE 250 movers: Savills in the black; CMC Markets goes ex-div

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was up 0.5% at 23,468.27 in afternoon trade on Thursday.
Savills racked up healthy gains after the estate agent lifted annual guidance and reported a rise in first-half profits on the back of a booming UK property market.

Outsourcing and energy services company Mitie was on the rise after it acquired DAEL Ventures for $15m as part of an effort to broaden its expertise in the fast-growing telecoms sector.

Spirent was trading higher as it posted a 9% jump in first-half revenue, with progress across the portfolio.

Tritax Big Box was also up after it said profit rose 19% in the first half as the warehouse operator felt the benefit of "unprecedented" demand fuelled by the move to online shopping.

On the downside, CMC Markets was the worst performer on the index as it traded without entitlement to the dividend.

Oil and gas company Diversified Energy was on the back foot as it increased its dividend and reported a 3% rise in first-half earnings.
