Melrose Industries is trading 4.72% down at £452.60, following a sector-wide selloff across aerospace and defence shares on October 23.

  • Reuters reported a 4.6% sector fall, with peers including Safran pressured by concerns over slower aftermarket growth and high fuel prices.
  • A contemporaneous report said Melrose fell with the engine group; no separate company-specific catalyst was identified.
  • Volume data was not supplied, so activity versus average cannot be assessed.
