European stock movers in focus:
----------
Computacenter PLC, up 11% at 4,581.00 pence, 12-month range 2,092.00p-4,702.00p. The Hatfield, England-based technology services provider raises its full-year guidance after stronger-than-expected trading in the second quarter. The company now expects adjusted pretax profit for the year to come in comfortably ahead of market expectations of GBP313.7 million, with first-half adjusted pretax profit set to be around double last year's GBP81.5 million. It also says its committed product order backlog at the end of June was well above the GBP7.1 billion reported at the end of 2025. North America trading was boosted by "even stronger than expected" volume growth with hyperscaler customers, benefiting both Technology Sourcing and Professional Services divisions.
----------
AstraZeneca PLC, down 8.0% at 13,094.00p, 12-month range 10,148.00p-15,732.00p. The Cambridge, England based pharmaceutical maker sinks after saying cardiovascular drug Wainua failed to meet the primary endpoint in a phase III trial for patients with transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy. The drug, which AstraZeneca is developing with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, did not show a statistically significant benefit on mortality or cardiovascular clinical events compared with placebo. However, the company says its safety profile remained consistent with previous studies and it will analyse the full data set with its partner.
----------
British American Tobacco PLC, down 2.3% at 4,504.00p, 12-month range 3,508.00p-5,326.00p. The cigarette and nicotine product maker trades ex-dividend on Thursday, meaning new investors do not qualify for the final payout of 61.26p per share.
----------
Brunello Cucinelli Spa, up 4.0% at EUR81.41, 12-month range EUR69.02-EUR110.65. JPMorgan places the Solomeo, Italy-based fashion brand on 'positive catalyst watch'. The US bank says it thinks interim results "should be a good reminder of the healthy developments at the company for both the top and bottom lines". The firm will report its half-year results on July 30.
----------
Partners Group Holding AG, down 1.4% at CHF654.00, 12-month range CHF632.40-CHF1,158.00. UBS cuts its rating on the Baar, Switzerland global private-markets investment firm to 'neutral' from 'buy'. It lowers the price target to CHF705 from CHF1,175 previously.
