FTSE 100 movers: Diageo fizzes higher ahead of results, Centrica recovers
(Sharecast News) - London's FTSE 100 was up 0.7% at 10,697.66 in afternoon trade on Friday.
Drinks firm Diageo fizzed higher ahead of interim results next Wednesday.
Luxury fashion brand Burberry saw its shares spark as Italy's Moncler - famous for its puffer jackets - reported well-received fourth-quarter and full-year results.
Segro advanced as it hailed a strong operational performance in the year to the end of December 2025, with a record £99m of new contracted rent commitments and 6% growth in like-for-like net rental income.
Chief executive David Sleath said: "Segro delivered a strong performance in 2025. We signed a record level of new rent through the excellent asset management of our existing portfolio and the signing of several large pre-lets, particularly in the second half of the year as structural drivers started to re-assert themselves and demand picked up."
He added that momentum has continued into 2026.
British Gas owner Centrica was also in the black, having tumbled on Thursday after saying it was pausing its share buyback programme as it reported a decline in full-year operating profit, with guidance from the energy firm also disappointing.
