English to Chinese Other Investment / Securities stock exchange

Two other potential targets for the Americans—Deutsche Börse and Euronext—are back in the spotlight too.

Euronext, which this week reported fourth-quarter profits 53% up on the previous year and promised to return €1 billion ($831m) to investors through a special dividend and share buyback, declared that it was eager to bridge its differences with the Germans. “There is a time for talk and a time for action,” said Jean-François Théodore, Euronext's boss, when asked about the talks with Deutsche Börse. A little unhelpfully, the economics minister in the German state of Hesse, which licenses Deutsche Börse to operate the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, implied that the local regulator would insist on Frankfurt retaining the lead role in a merged entity.
