Capita is trading at £297.04, up 5.71%, as gains appear to extend the positive reaction to its announced sale of its private sector contact centre business to Inspirit Capital.

  • The sale is intended to simplify operations and improve margins.
  • After the sale news, shares were reported up 16.8% at 280.80p.
  • No separate Capita announcement explaining the October 23 move was found; broader technology-sector weakness described in the supplied context does not explain the gain.
