Travis Perkins surged as it reported drop in first-half revenue and flat operating profits once property profits were stripped out, but with analysts pointing to early signs of a turnaround.
Volution ticked higher as it announced the acquisition of German ventilation firm GetAir for €40m.
Johson Matthey shot up as Jefferies reinstated a 'buy' rating on the stock following full-year results and the Cormetech acquisition.
AG Barr fizzed lower as the Irn-Bru maker backed its full-year guidance and reported a rise in interim revenue, but cautioned over a £10m revenue hit from supply chain issues.
