Summary
UBS, which slashed its price target for IG to 1,700p from 2,200p on Wednesday, thinks the market is concerned about risks associated with Underdog and the reasons for the deal. The FTSE 100 shrugged off early falls to close higher on Wednesday after the US Treasury said it plans to boost buybacks of longer-dated bonds. The operations include the 10-year to 20-year sector and the 20-year to 30-year sector.
Furthermore, The Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday that the Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% in the 12 months to July, accelerating from 2.6% in June. But Trainline plunged 14% after the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced an investigation into drip pricing. The core consumer price inflation rate, which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, was unchanged at 2.6% in the year to July.
In addition, The figure was in line with the FXStreet-cited consensus, but ahead of the 2.8% forecast in July’s Bank of England monetary policy report. The firm said improvement was driven by gross profit growth and disciplined cost control, with adjusted operating costs down 6.9% year-on-year and down 9.6% versus the second half of 2025. “We view the better-than-expected progress on narrowing Ebitda loss as a meaningful confidence boost for the market in Oxford Nanopore’s ability to break even next year,” said Citigroup analyst Veronika Dubajova.
