Directors dealings: Greencore non-execs left picking through rubble
Three of Greencore Group's non-executive directors could be seen picking through the rubble of the convenience food manufacturer's shares on Wednesday, a day after a warning from its finance chief sent them crashing lower.
On Wednesday, Kevin F.O'Malley, Heather Ann McSharry and Gary Kennedy purchased £12,500, £25,500 and £36,330-worth of shares, respectively, the company said in separate statements.
The day before, the Irish food company told investors to expect lower full-year 2018 earnings per share, undermining investors' and analysts' faith in management's promises.
Greencore cited the "weak performance of the Group's underutilised original sites in the first half of FY18, combined with the timing of new business contributions, and the current GBP/USD exchange rate," for its lowered guidance.
In the wake of its trading update, at least three brokers, Peel Hunt, Davy and Numis downgraded their recommendations for the shares.
