Directors dealings: United Utilities director picks up some shares
United Utilities non-executive director Michael Lewis and his spouse bought a large amount of shares in the water group just before the Easter break.
The couple purchased 3,000 shares at €12.44 apiece on 28 March on Tradegate, for a total transaction amount of €37,320.
As recently as 14 February, the company had reiterated its financial guidance for the 2024 financial year.
That was despite the weather-related challenges encountered, especially the high rainfall across the north west of England.
