FTSE 250 movers: Premier Foods powers ahead; Polymetal hit by downgrade

(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 250 was down 1.3% at 21,083.63 in afternoon trade on Wednesday. Greeting cards retailer Moonpig was on the back foot, having rallied a day earlier after it lifted its revenue outlook for the current financial year.

Capricorn Energy was the biggest loser even as Barclays upped its price target on the shares to 285p from 245p, while precious metals miner Polymetal slumped after a downgrade to 'hold' at Berenberg.

The bank cited heightened uncertainty around the Russian assets and said it has changed its valuation to be based on the NAV of the Kazakh assets alone.

Going the other way, Mr Kipling owner Premier Foods was looking "exceedingly good" at the top of the index, followed by opioid addiction treatment maker Indivior.
