Analyst Update: Merger Updates, Dividends, Quarterly Results, and Settlements

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. markets extended their gains for a third session on Friday with the S&P 500 adding up its second best week in almost two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 17,804.80, up 0.15%, the NASDAQ Composite edged 0.36% higher at 4,765.38, and the S&P 500 advanced 0.46% to close the session at 2,070.65. The rally in the U.S. stocks was fueled by the Federal Reserve's assurance on Wednesday to take a patient approach towards raising interest rates, which calmed the investors over the policy outlook. On the other hand, the European markets ended Friday's session on a mixed note as Italian banking and healthcare stocks weighed down the wider benchmarks. The Asian markets extended the previous day's gain on Friday and ended on a positive note boosted by the momentum on Wall Street following the reassurance from Federal Reserve that interest rates would be hiked no sooner than mid-2015.

Remy International, Inc. (Remy) will hold a special meeting of its shareholders on December 31, 2014, to seek approval of the previously announced merger agreement among Remy International, Inc., (old Remy), Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

Roka Bioscience, Inc. (Roka Bioscience) reported solid 166.7% YoY increase in its revenue for third quarter 2014. The said improvements were attributed to increase in the number of Atlas instruments placed with commercial customers and increased commercial utilization of the instruments.
