NYSE, whose $7.4 billion takeover by German peer Deutsche Boerse (DB1Gn.DE) was scuppered last week, on Friday posted a 13 percent rise in fourth-quarter operating profit to $212 million, compared with a forecast for $208 million.

“Despite challenging market conditions, our fourth-quarter results were solid with an increasing contribution from non-trading revenue sources and continued cost discipline,” chief financial officer Michael Geltzeiler said.

Information and technology were the drivers behind the profit hike, with revenue in that unit up 11 percent to $127 million, compared with a 1 percent fall in futures trading and a 2 percent rise in share trading.

NYSE, like rivals Deutsche Boerse, the London Stock exchange (LSE.L) and Nasdaq OMX (NDAQ.O),has seen its core trading units squeezed by cheaper rivals in recent years.

This has prompted the world’s top exchanges to reassess their role and look to non-core areas, such as supplying trading systems and information to clients, to drive growth.

NYSE chief executive Duncan Niederauer said after the Deutsche Boerse deal failed last week that five of NYSE Euronext’s past six acquisitions were technology assets and he expected more of these deals.

“I would not expect us, nor anyone else in the industry, to do a mega-merger any time soon,” Niederauer said. “Everyone is going to kind of take a pause and reassess the landscape.”

The European Commission killed the NYSE-Boerse deal, which would have created the world’s biggest stock exchange operator,Discount Ed hardy hats, saying the combined entity’s near-monopoly would make it hard for new players to compete.

NYSE Euronext has also been seen by analysts as an obvious rival bidder for European clearing house LCH.Clearnet, which has been in exclusive sales talks with the London Stock Exchange (LSE.L) since September.

NYSE was in talks about a possible joint bid for LCH with data vendor Markit but the plan was scrapped in the middle part of last year as the LSE emerged as the front-runner.

LCH.Clearnet chief executive Ian Axe said on Friday: “We are willing to take calls but we are currently in negotiations with the LSE.”

Geltzeiler said on Friday NYSE Euronext will detail its two-year growth plan at an investor day in April.

Why? It’s cute but still looks a little dangerous. Plus, it has the three aggro-chic staples: leather, chains and denim.

The size and shape of this purse is a nice alternative to all of my gold grommets and studs that have invaded my closet and my life.

I do like to mix the metals every once in a while, too. Skip the silver chains around the wrist and neck and break out that bling. I’ll be wearing this with jeans and a leather jacket or a faux-fur vest.

What’s also great about this not-your-standard-evening-bag satchel is that I can leave the big old super-sized day bag behind and proudly display this at night and give my back a rest! (Lugging fashions “it” bags look a little dopey when you’re out for a cocktail.)

But the best thing is,wholesale Ankh Royalty, it’s only $32.

PRODUCT DETAILS
- Striped insets and chain link fringe
- Beaded drawstring closure and 3 interior compartments

With her new collaboration,wholesale Christian Audigier, Harajuku Mini for Target, Stefani is broadening her scope to let other kids (and moms) in on the secret. She’d done childrenswear before, but was limited by its distribution and price point. “It’s just so exciting for me, because now I can do real fashion,” she said at a launch event in L.A. this weekend. “Before it was like, ‘OK, Gwen, you can do a onesie with a character on it.’ But that’s not fashion, you can get that anywhere.”

The 80-piece exclusive collection includes apparel and accessories for kids aged 6 months to 16 years old. Stefani emphasized the affordable price and the grown-up styling as the key selling points. “If you look at the line, it reeks of everything that I’ve worn and done, especially this first collection. I wanted it to be a real condensed version of things that I’ve done in my career and to shrink them down. Actual prints that I’m using are actually right off of costumes that I’ve worn, and you can pull them right up to dresses that I’ve worn and things like that,” she said. “There’s really a traditional side to it, because that’s really my style. I’ve always really liked that traditional kind of English schoolgirl type of look, but there’s also an edgy modern thing going on, which is what I have always loved about Japanese culture. You’ve got the deep tradition of Japan and then you’ve got their futuristic modern thing, and I love that whole mix of masculine and feminine. I think this line really has all that in it.”
