LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Here are some of the companies whose
shares made notable moves in Tuesday's European trading
session.
Gainers
Philips NV climbed 3.4% as the Dutch conglomerate said it will
split into two new companies -- a lighting business and a
health-care and consumer-lifestyle company.
Yara International: Topping the Stoxx Europe 600 index , the
Norwegian chemical company gained 3.9% after saying it's discussing
a merger with U.S. fertilizer producer CF Industries (CF).
Decliners
Barclays PLC shares fell 1%. The U.K.'s financial regulator
fined the British bank nearly 38 million pounds ($62.2 million) for
putting client money at risk. Barclays said, according to The Wall
Street Journal, that it accepts the regulator's findings, but that
it didn't profit from the issue and that no customers lost out.
Raiffeisen Bank International AG dropped 10% as the Austrian
bank issued a profit warning largely because the ongoing Ukraine
crisis has driven it towards a net loss this year.
Stock in Tate & Lyle PLC tumbled 17% after the food
ingredients maker issued its second profit warning this year,
citing weaker selling prices and ongoing supply-chain issues.
