Director dealings: Rio Tinto CEO invests a day after disappointing results

29th Jul 2022 16:31

(Sharecast News) - Rio Tinto was at the top of the list of director buys on Friday, after its chief executive officer bought almost half a million pounds worth of shares.

The Anglo-Australian mining giant said Jakob Stausholm purchased 10,000 shares on Thursday in a market transaction on the London Stock Exchange.

Stausholm paid 4,856.87p for each share, spending a total of £485,686.91 in the process.

The purchase was made a day after the FTSE 100 company slashed its dividend, following a 29% tumble in first-half profit.

It cited weaker iron ore prices, labour shortages and higher costs for the fall, which sent its shares southwards after the results announcement on Wednesday.
