BERLIN, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Germany's K+S AG SDFGn.DE kept
its guidance for a significant increase in full-year earnings
after second-quarter operating profit rose more than expected to
179.2 million euros ($199.56 million).
Quarterly operating profit rose 14 percent from last year's
157.3 million euros, beating a 168 million-euro consensus
forecast in a Reuters poll.
The salt and fertilizer company on Thursday affirmed its
rejection of a takeover proposal by Canada's Potash Corp of
Saskatchewan POT.TO which is worth 41 euros per share.
