Spouse cashes in CSR chips

A round-up of the biggest director deals today so far.

CSR chief technology officer James Collier's wife has sold 377,750 shares in the bluetooth and Global Position System chips maker at prices between 422.5p and 439.4p a share. That cuts Collier's stake to 1.02m shares, or 0.56%.

On 2 March 2009, Collier exercised an option over 382,002 shares at 5.37p a share. That cost £20,514.

Third quarter revenues were higher than expected and the underlying operating profit was $22.2m. CSR said it expects to post fourth quarter revenue of between $180m and $200m. A new order for an integrated Bluetooth/WiFi product should begin shipping before the end of the year.
