Director dealings: TalkTalk founder walks the walk

9th Sep 2019 16:40

(Sharecast News) - TalkTalk boss and founder, Charles Dunstone, picked up 6.0m shares in the telecommunications carrier's stock at the start of the week.
Dunstone bought the shares in two tranches at 104.08p and 104.92p each one for a total transaction amount of 6.27m, raising his stake in the firm from 28.61% to 29.23% in the process.

Nearly two months before, the company had reported a 1.3% rise in revenues for the three months to 30 June to £387.0m amid a sharp pick up in the rate of uptake of fibre services by customers.

At the time, the firm also reiterated its full-year guidance.

Nearly five months before, at TalkTalk's Capital Markets Day, Dunstone had said that the firm was "more optimistic than the market feels".

Shares in the company ended Monday's session down by 0.86% to 103.80p, having been trading largely sideways over the preceding two years.
