Shares of financial regulatory software provider Donnelley Financial Solutions (NYSE:DFIN) jumped 14.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that significantly surpassed analyst expectations.
The financial compliance software provider posted revenue of $172.5 million, an increase of 10.4% from the same quarter in the previous year and well above forecasts.
