Back in August last year, we noticed that despite excitement over a potential bid for Liberty International (LII, 522p), senior management in the form of a Harold Newton was selling shares. Unusual behaviour if you think there could soon be a bid on the table (see August 31st ‘Liberty International- PDMR selling’).
Since our caution, Liberty International have underperformed the Real Estate sector by around 20%, and the FTSE 100 by over 30%.
We believe Liberty International shares will continue to be vulnerable:
December 17th 2008 Harold Newton, a PDMR of Liberty, sold 19,000 shares at 495p taking his holding to 74,000 shares. Also
December 23rd and 24th William Black, also a PDMR of Liberty, sold 10,000 shares at between 482p and 488p, taking his holding to 100,000 shares.
View on Liberty International: Negative
Strength of Signal: Medium
