This screen lists stocks on the London Stock Exchange that opened more than 5% below the previous close today, biggest gaps first. Gap downs usually follow bad news released outside trading hours, such as weak earnings, a guidance cut or a downgrade. Some keep falling as holders exit, while others recover as bargain hunters step in, so watch how the price behaves after the open. LSE prices are quoted in pence, and the list skips thinly traded shares.
