Shares in NCC tanked on Tuesday despite the Manchester-based cybersecurity and software services firm delivering in-line annual results, as investors focused on the outlook statement, which pointed to a lengthening of sales cycles in recent months.
FirstGroup announced an agreement to acquire London bus operator RATP Dev Transit London the French state-owned from RATP Développement on Tuesday, for an enterprise value of £90m.
Moonpig said on Tuesday that it swung to a pre-tax loss in the first half as it pointed to "challenging" trading in its Experiences segment.
