(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,239.99 -0.16%
Anglo-Eastern Plantations jumped after reporting higher output and better prices in the first nine months of the year.
The company added that it had agreed to buy Admiral Potential for around $9m to expand the group's landbank and enhance supply.
"We've achieved good operational progress in the first nine months, with further strategic land acquisition opportunities ahead. Elevated crude palm oil prices have strengthened cash generation, giving us a solid financial base to support future growth and deliver long-term shareholder value," the company said on Friday.
On a quiet day of trading Ceres Power Holdings led the fallers as investors took profits after UBS on Wednesday almost tripled its share price target, citing accelerating demand for the company's solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology and an improving financial outlook.
