The transactions are announced just days after the brokerage announced that a number of its senior executives acquired Plus500 Ltd shares.

  • Asaf Elimelech, CEO of Plus500 Ltd, acquired 460 shares in the brokerage at a price of £6.8200 per share and 30,000 shares at a price of £6.8370. The transactions were executed on August 14, 2019.

Last week, Plus500 Ltd posted its results for the first half of 2019, with revenues and profits markedly down from a year earlier.

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, net profit was $51.6 million, down 80% from the $261.7 million registered in the equivalent period in 2018. Revenues in the first half of 2019 amounted to $148 million, down 68% from $465.5 million registered in the first half of 2018. The company blamed the drop on the low volatility within the first quarter of 2019.
