17th Oct 2018 16:40

(Sharecast News) - Evraz chairman Alexander Abramov sold 1.66m ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed outfit on Wednesday.Abramov, who joined the Russian steel maker's board back in 2005, disposed of the shares at an average price of 52.50p, for a total value of £874,239.41.Evraz declared a second interim dividend back in August after a half-year where earnings and free cash flow surged, though the results arrived the morning after Washington declared new sanctions against Russia.The FTSE 100 group increased revenues 24.2% to $6.3bn in the first six months of the year. Revenues from Russia were up 12% to $2.3bn, 29% in the Americas to $1.4bn, 35% to $1.3bn from Asia and 32% in Europe to $703m.In the second half, Evraz warned that market prices could decline, particularly international coal and steel benchmarks. Management's confidence in the overall financial performance remaining "solid" comes from a pipeline of internal improvements and a pricing environment that is still seen as being generally strong relative to the average levels seen in the last three years.However, Moscow was hit by economic sanctions by the UK and US during the half, mainly due to the expulsion of suspected Russian spies as part of a response to the March poisoning of former agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury.As of 1640 BST, Evraz shares had ticked up 0.55% to 551p.Top Director BuysTelit Communications (TCM)Director name: Pino,Paolo Dal Amount purchased: 150,000 @ 162.26pValue: £243,389.99Raven Property Group Limited (RAV)Director name: Bilton,Anton John GodfreyAmount purchased: 250,000 @ 42.00pValue: £105,000.00Telit Communications (TCM)Director name: Dafna,Yariv Amount purchased: 25,000 @ 164.00pValue: £41,000.00Brown (n.)
