Ashtead (LSE:AHT)
Historical Stock Chart

From May 2019 to May 2024

By Carla Mozee, MarketWatch

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. stocks rose Wednesday, with shares of Ashtead Group PLC higher after the equipment-rental company issued an upbeat outlook.

The FTSE 100 gained 0.3% to 6,847.20, on track for a fourth session of gains.

Ashtead was the best price performer on the benchmark, rising 2.9% as the company said full-year results should come in ahead of its previous expectations, following a strong first quarter. First-quarter profit was 74.7 million pounds ($124.5 million), up from GBP60.7 million a year ago.

Also higher were shares of Vodafone Group PLC , by 0.7%. The shares ended up 1.1% on Tuesday, pushed up late in the session after a Nikkei newspaper report that Japanese mobile-services company SoftBank Corp. (9984.TO) may be considering a takeover bid for Vodafone.
