Director dealings: Moneysupermarket chair ups stake

(Sharecast News) - Moneysupermarket revealed on Tuesday that chairman Robin Freestone had purchased 40,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed price comparison business.
Freestone, who originally joined Moneysupermarket back in 2015, acquired the shares on Monday at an average price of 336p each, for a total value of ?134,400.

Just last Friday, analysts at Berenberg upped their target price on shares of Moneysupermarket from 285.0p to 310.0p but reiterated their 'sell' rating, stating that the previous session's share price gains were overdone.

Moneysupermarket delivered in-line full-year results and maintained its guidance for 2020, sending the shares up last Thursday.

As of 1640 GMT, Moneysupermarket shares were down 1.98% at 327.40p.
