FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German exchange operator Deutsche Boerse posted an 11 percent rise in first-quarter net profit, roughly in line with expectations.
Net profit attributable to shareholders of 275 million euros (£237.35 million) was a little more than the 267 million euros expected in a Reuters poll and up from 249 million euros a year ago.
