European stock movers in focus:
----------
BASF SE, down 2.4% at EUR51.90, 12-month range EUR41.48-EUR55.05. The German chemicals maker sells 133 million shares in Harbour Energy PLC, representing a 7.9% stake, at 266 pence each for GBP353.8 million. Morgan Stanley Europe SE places 80.0 million shares with institutional investors, while Harbour Energy agrees to buy back a further 53.0 million shares from BASF for cancellation. Following the transaction, BASF retains a 16% stake in Harbour Energy and agrees to a 60-day lock-up preventing further share sales. Around USD40 million of Harbour Energy's purchase will count towards its ongoing USD250 million share buyback programme. Harbour Energy shares are down 3.1% at 269.20p in London.
----------
Fraport AG, up 2.0% at EUR60.30, 12-month range EUR58.30-EUR86.95. The airport operator reports rising passenger and cargo volumes in August. Frankfurt Airport handled 6.3 million passengers during the month, up 4.1% on-year, supported by strong summer holiday demand. Passenger numbers to European holiday destinations increased, while Middle Eastern routes benefited from the resumption of air travel to the region. Cargo volumes rise 1.0% to 174,388 metric tons, while aircraft movements increase 6.4%. Across Fraport's actively managed airports, passenger traffic grows 6.4% to around 23.6 million, with its Greek airports handling 4.0% more passengers and Antalya Airport recording a 3.2% increase.
----------
Trainline PLC, up 2.4% at 194.50 pence, 12-month range 178.00p-307.60p. The rail and coach travel platform announces a new GBP100 million share buyback as it reports resilient first-half trading and reiterates its full-year guidance. Group net ticket sales are broadly flat on-year at GBP3.26 billion in the six months to August 31, while underlying revenue slips 0.9% to GBP233 million from GBP235 million. Trainline says UK rail demand remains resilient despite disruption from hot weather, strikes and a regulated fare freeze. It continues to expect financial 2027 net ticket sales of GBP6.20 billion to GBP6.45 billion and underlying revenue of GBP440 million to GBP455 million, while adjusted Ebitda as a percentage of net ticket sales is expected to slightly beat its around 2.9% guidance. The new buyback will begin after completion of its existing GBP150 million programme and run over the next 12 months.
----------
XP Power Ltd, up 8.2% at 1,947.00 pence, 12-month range 857.00p-2,060.00p. Jefferies raises the power control systems maker to 'buy' from 'hold' and lifts its price target to 2,330p from 1,870p. The new target implies around 20% upside from XP Power's current share price.
