“The FTSE100 bounced back after yesterday's losses with investors hunting down bargain trades. Asian markets got off to a lacklustre start this morning and Wall Street ended mixed overnight,” says AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould.

“Carbonated mixers group Fevertree’s shares fizzed in early trading after the group posted a 77% jump in first half revenues and a 95% rise in its interim dividend. Fever-Tree is performing well in all regions but UK growth has been exceptional, up 113%. The group continues to invest and improve its infrastructure and its relationships with key suppliers and is well positioned as the opportunity for premium mixers continues to gather momentum. Fever-Tree’s shares were up by more than 9%.

Informa topped the blue-chip index following continued growth in revenue, profit and earnings in its seasonally stronger first half of the year. The group has continued to make steady operational and financial progress in the fourth year of its acceleration programme while also effectively integrating US-based Penton Information Services ahead of schedule. Informa’s shares were up by over 6.3%.

Domino's Pizza’s shares fell despite an increase in first half revenues and underlying pre-tax profits. The group continues to take market share but it is also aware that UK consumers are more cautious about the economic outlook. Domino's Pizza’s shares were down by 7%.”
