On this episode of Stock Movers:

- London’s Heathrow airport will close all day Friday after a nearby fire caused a major power outage, throwing one of the world’s busiest airports and the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of people into chaos. Home to airlines including IAG SA’s British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, Heathrow handles more than 1,400 flights and 200,000 passengers every day, and about 40 aircraft take off every hour at peak times on average.The airport, by far the biggest in the UK, is a major hub for trans-Atlantic travel as well as connections into the Middle East and Asia. While London has other airfields, including Gatwick and the smaller Stansted near Cambridge, Heathrow handles the lion’s share of air connections, and an outage on the current scale is unprecedented for the airfield.

- Douglas shares fall as much as 23%, the most ever and to a record low after the German beauty product retailer issued a profit warning, citing increasing competition and a consumer slowdown in France and Germany, its two biggest markets.

- J D Wetherspoon shares slide as much as 12%, hitting a two-year low, after Shore Capital said it expects consensus estimates to fall after the pub chain’s results came in softer than anticipated in the first half. Jefferies said it sees limited scope for its valuation multiple to expand due to concerns circling around the UK consumer.
