Director dealings: Hunting chairman ups stake

Glick, who took over as chairman of Hunting back in September 2017, acquired the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 383.89p each, for a total value of £70,532.11.

Following the transaction, Glick's beneficial holding in Hunting was 41,373 ordinary shares - representing 0.02% of the company's share capital.

Hunting warned on Tuesday that expectations for annual profit were under threat from a sharpening slowdown in the US onshore oil and gas market as the company approaches its year-end.

The group said it still expected earnings in the year to the end of December to be within the range of market expectations but that this result depends on trading in December.

As of 1305 GMT, Hunting shares were up 4.33% at 404.60p.
