Count buys more of DKN
Accountancy-based dealer group Count Financial has lifted its stake in competitor dealer group DKN Financial.
Count has informed the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that it has lifted its stake from the original 5 per cent purchased more than two weeks ago to 7.1 per cent.
The purchase of the further shareholding came after DKN reported a solid result for the six months to the end of December, increasing its profit by 25 per cent over the previous corresponding period.
