WIZZ AIR CEO SNAPS UP £140,900 SHARES
Jozsef Varadi, chief executive of budget airline Wizz Air (WIZZ:AIM), bought 10,000 shares at £14.09 for a total value of £140,900 through a legal entity closely associated with him, VAXCO Holdings Co, on 2 August.
Varadi’s move comes after the budget airline reported a 98% fall in net profit to €1.2 million for the three months ending 30 June due to higher leasing costs for planes and a product recall from Airbus (AIR:EPA) engine supplier Pratt & Whitney engines.
Wizz Air is forecasting a net profit for the current financial year of between €350 million and €400 million, down from its previous guidance of between €500 million and €600 million.
The shares recently hit a new 52-week low and are down 35% year-to-date.
