Man Group shares climbed to a new 52-week high on Friday, adding to Thursday’s rally and extending a year of gains, though no confirmed catalyst has emerged for the move.
Man Group (LON: EMG), the London-listed asset manager, hit a fresh 52-week high today. Shares closed at 336.8p on Thursday, above the previous 52-week high of 327.2p. The stock is now at 337.6p on Friday morning.
On Thursday, the session’s range ran from 324.6p to 336.0p. It is the first time this signal has fired for Man Group in the loaded trading history.
