Director dealings: Daax Corp. picks up more shares in Genel Energy

(Sharecast News) - Daax Corporation stepped in to buy more shares in Kurdistan-focused oil exploration group Genel Energy.
According to Genel, on 23 March, Daax picked up 120,000 shares at 84p apiece, for a total transaction value of ?100,800.

That followed the purchase of another 200,000 shares at 74p each during the previous trading session, for which Dax shelled out ?148,000.

Daax's chair was Hassan Gozal, one of Genel's non-executive directors.

As recently as 10 January, analysts at JP Morgan had reiterated their 'overweight' stance on the outfit's shares, telling clients looking for exposure to the Middle East that it was a better option than rival Pharos Energy.

"We are more bullish EU Energy heading into 2020, seeing a year of vindication for the EU majors and the start of a more positive chapter for EU OFS. E&Ps sit at the sharp end of oil beta and enjoy stronger balance sheets having effectively harvested cash in recent years, shielding them more effectively from downside price risk."
