(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 20,964.18 0.34%
Wood Group shares surged on Wednesday, although there was no apparent reason for the rise.

Victrex jumped after an upgrade to 'buy' at Jefferies. The stock spiked on Tuesday, despite a slide in annual profits, after the polymer specialist said 2025 had got off to a "solid" start.

Zigup, formerly Redde Northgate, slumped as it posted a drop in interim profit and revenue in a mixed half-year, with underlying revenues growing 5.6% to £775m on the back of robust performances in vehicle hire and claims services, although reported revenue slipped 0.8% to £903.6m due to weaker vehicle sales.
