LONDON (ShareCast) - DataCash director David Bailey has taken advantage of the shares strong run a day after the payment service provider announced a 270% surge in full year adjusted pre-tax profit.
The stock has risen by about 72% over the past six months, prompting Bailey to slash his stake by 100,000 shares to 555,562, or 0.61%, raising a total of £247,000.
Yesterday, the group reported a pre-tax profit increase to £7.8m from £2.6m a year ago on turnover was up 168% to £16.4m. The dividend rose 33%.
Chief operating officer Andrew Dark also reduced his holding, selling 10,000 shares also at 247p.
