Director dealings: Burberry CEO makes share sale

(Sharecast News) - Burberry revealed on Thursday that chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd had sold 49,037 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed fashion house. Akeroyd, who sold the shares in order to cover tax and fees arising from the vesting and acquisition of an award granted to him on 15 March following his resignation from his former employer, disposed of the shares at an average price of 1,619.08p each, for a total value of £793,948.06.

Back in May, Burberry said its full-year outlook hinged on how fast China bounced back from Covid-19 lockdowns, as 2022 fiscal-year profits and revenues rose. Burberry maintained medium-term guidance of high single-digit revenue growth but said its outlook was "dependent on the impact of Covid-19" and the rate of recovery in consumer spending in Mainland China.

As of 1540 BST, Burberry shares were down 4.90% at 1,612.0p.
