8th Dec 2025 15:22

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 21,981.07 -0.38%

Shares in SDCL Efficiency Income Trust tumbled on Monday after it reported a drop in net asset value per share and said that gearing had exceeded the investment policy.

Kainos surged after an upgrade to 'buy' at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies rose as it appointed Francis Van Parys as chief executive, succeeding Gordon Sanghera, who has led the company since its inception in 2005. Van Parys is currently president and CEO of acute care diagnostics company Radiometer, part of Danaher Corporation.

Rotork was knocked lower by a downgrade to 'equalweight' at Morgan Stanley.
