FTSE 100 movers: IAG, Beazley boosted by broker upgrades

Sharecast - Insurer Beazley was a high riser after a double upgrade to ‘buy’ from ‘sell’ at UBS.

The bank said the balance sheet is in a stronger position than it expected, consensus earnings are now reset, and the shares are close to a 10-year low on price-to-earnings.

BA and Iberia owner IAG was also boosted by broker notes. Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) lifted its stance on the shares to ‘buy’ from ‘hold’, while Barclays (LON:BARC) upgraded it to ‘overweight’ from ‘equalweight’.
