Director Dealings
Every day – at 9.30am, 1pm and 5pm – we update our Director Dealings tables with the latest share purchases and sales by directors of LSE-listed companies. This information is publicly available, but not always easily accessible, which makes our Director Dealings page a powerful tool for assessing potential share price variations and dealing opportunities.
