Dow Jones News
Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. (KORS) will replace NYSE Euronext
Inc. (NYX) in the S&P 500 after trading closes Friday as
IntercontinentalExchange Inc.'s (ICE) deal to acquire NYSE is
expected to close soon.
Shares of Michael Kors were up 3.8% to $79.31 in after-hours
trading.
The fashion retailer has reported robust bottom-line growth
recently as demand in retail and wholesale merchandise grows, most
recently demonstrated in August, when the company posted an 82%
jump in fiscal first-quarter profit.
Meanwhile, ICE's $10.9 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext is
expected to be completed early next month. ICE plans to hold on to
NYSE's flagship U.S. stock market franchise and London-based
financial futures markets, although it intends to spin off the
continental European stock market operations in an initial public
offering next year.
