The operator of Canada’s major stock exchanges says net income attributable to shareholders was $39.4 million or 73 cents per diluted share in the three-months ended Sept. 30, up from $19.2 million or 38 cents in the comparable prior-year period.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange and the Montreal Exchange for derivatives among other business, said adjusted earnings jumped 15 per cent to 86 cents per share from 75 cents. The adjusted earnings excluded 13 cents per share of amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions…
