FTSE 250 movers: Fisher, NMC Health, Evraz

20th Aug 2013 15:49

James Fisher, the worldwide marine services was on the rise after revealing that it had sold 25 per cent of its stake in Foreland Holdings, and acquired Osiris, a diving and sub-sea services firm. The stake in Foreland Holdings was sold for an initial consideration of £11.4m, with potential additional consideration on the sale of two vessels owned by Foreland. Growth in referrals and patient numbers helped Abu Dhabi healthcare and distribution group NMC Health to a strong first half result, prompting a strong rise in shares. One of the largest private healthcare providers in the United Arab Emirates, where mandatory health insurance legislation is looming, NMC grew revenues 14.7% to $273.1m and EBITDA by 16.1% to $46.1m. As on the top tier index, miners on the FTSE 250 were providing a drag, hit by unimpressive results from BHP Billiton and Glencore Xstrata. Evraz was the biggest faller on the second tier.
