Steam-systems group Spirax-Sarco Engineering drops 6% despite saying it continues to expect record revenue, profit and operating margin for 2021. Power generator SSE is also down 4% after saying it would sell assets and cut its dividend to help fund investment. Still, Sage rises 2% after increasing its dividend.
