Staff and agencies5 mins ago
The operator of the New York Stock Exchange and markets in Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels reported net profit of $172 million in the three months to Dec. 31, compared to a $1.34 billion net loss a year earlier, when collapsing equity markets forced it to slash the value of the 2007 merger of NYSE and Euronext.
For the full year, NYSE Euronext reported net profit $219 million, as revenue slipped 0.3 percent to $4.69 billion.
