Director dealings: Investec director makes share sale

Investec said on Tuesday that executive director Richard Wainwright had disposed of 21,396 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed investment advisory.

Wainwright, the chief executive of Investec Bank Limited since February 2016, sold the shares on Monday at an average price of 5,815.0p each, for a total value of £1.24m.

In late May, Investec increased its dividend by 18% as the financial services group reported a 10% drop in full-year profit caused mainly by the coronavirus pandemic.

Adjusted operating profit for the year to the end of March fell to £377.6m from £419.2m a year earlier as operating income dropped 9.2% to £1.64bn. Adjusted earnings per share fell 14.7% to 28.9p in line with guidance.

As of 1625 BST, Investec shares were down 1.16% at 306.70p.
