Maersk shares jump 25 percent after strong financial results

Danish shipping giant Maersk saw its share price jump about 25 percent in days.

This rise reflects strong financial results from the Copenhagen-based company.

The surge began on Thursday after Maersk released its half-year report.

Results were far better than market expectations.

Profit for the second quarter more than doubled.

Investors reacted quickly to the strong financial performance.

The company showed strong profit growth across the first half of the year.

According to The Copenhagen Post, the stock market responded very positively.
