STOCKS NEWS EUROPE-ThyssenKrupp seen up on Q1 earnings beat

Shares in ThyssenKrupp (Xetra: TKA.DE - news) are indicated to rise 3.3 percent to the top of Germany's blue-chip index, according to premarket data, after a smaller loss at its Brazilian steel mill helped the German industrial conglomerate post a better-than-expected quarterly operating profit.

"Better profitability should work positive for shares," a local trader says.

ThyssenKrupp reports that adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for its fiscal first quarter through December more than doubled to 247 million euros ($337.55 million), beating the average forecast of 213 million euros given in a Reuters poll of analysts.
