The shares gained 5.6 percent to 58.50 euros.

Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1 GY): Europe's largest exchange by stock value said third-quarter profit rose more than analysts estimated after financial-market turmoil boosted derivatives trading. The shares added 13 percent to 68.70 euros.

HeidelbergCement AG (HEI GY): Germany's biggest cement maker owned by German billionaire Adolf Merckle plans to release third- quarter results.

Profit, excluding changes in the value of the company's stake in drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis SA, likely rose 28 percent to 3.85 billion euros, according to the median of nine analyst estimates, as higher crude and natural-gas prices offset lower production. The shares added 3.5 percent to 44.50 euros.
