Directors dealings: United Utilities director picks up some shares

(Sharecast News) - 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.
