FTSE 250 movers: Bumi lands on its derriere

3rd Feb 2012 13:48

Bumi, the Indonesian coal miner, hit a bum note with shareholders who have demanded a meeting to request a meeting to persuade their fellow shareholders to boot out co-Chairman Nathaniel Rothschild along with a number of other members of the board. Specialist bank and asset manager Investec fell after saying that assets under management excluding a contribution from the recently-acquired Evolution Group declined in the nine months to December 31st. Electrocomponents was also in the red after seeing revenue growth slow down. Revenues in the four months to January 31st rose by 4%, but were only 1% higher in January alone. Retailers, meanwhile, were generally on the rise, with JD Sports and Home Retail both making it into the top ten.
