⚡ Quantum Brief
Rightmove Plc’s shares surged 7.1% on Friday, their biggest gain since April, after reporting a 12% rise in pretax profit to £290 million for the latest period. The UK property portal’s strong earnings and a £90 million share buyback announcement boosted investor confidence amid broader market volatility. The rally improves Rightmove’s chances of retaining its spot in the FTSE 100 index, which had been at risk due to recent AI-driven selloffs weighing on UK equities. Analysts attribute the performance to resilient demand in the housing market despite economic headwinds, contrasting with struggles in tech-heavy sectors. The buyback signals management’s confidence in sustained cash flow, offering a rare bright spot in the FTSE 100’s recent downturn.
