FTSE 100 movers: Next gains on results; Glencore goes ex-div
Sharecast - Glencore (LON:GLEN), St James’s Place (LON:SJP) and Admiral all fell as they traded without entitlement to the dividend.
Retailer Next was the standout gainer on the index as it backed its full-year guidance and posted a smaller-than-expected drop in first-quarter sales.
In the 13 weeks to 29 April, total full-price sales edged down 0.7%, but Next noted that this was moderately ahead of its guidance for a 2% decline.
The company maintained its guidance for full-year pre-tax profit of £795m and earnings per share of 501.9p. It also continues to expect a 1.5% fall in full-year sales.
Hargreaves Lansdown (LON:HRGV) was also a high riser after well-received first-quarter results, while oil giant Shell (LON:RDSa) rallied as it beat forecasts to post a first-quarter net profit of $9.65bn, although down 2% year-on-year due to lower oil and gas prices.
