Value retailer B&M was one of the top risers in London trading today, as it announced plans to step up store openings after an improvement in trading.
The company’s shares rose by 4% to 510.2p, an all-time high. The lift made B&M the second-highest riser in the FTSE 100, behind only plumbing group Ferguson.
Several large listed REITs gave up some of the gains made yesterday, with British Land and Landsec both among the FTSE 100’s sharpest fallers.
The FTSE 100 and 250 both closed down, at 5,897 and 17,173 respectively.
