This article is for subscribers only.
European stocks climbed as companies including SAP SE and Actelion Ltd. posted better-than-forecast results.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 0.6 percent to 409.12 at the close of trading. The measure extended gains to as much as 1 percent after Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem told RTL Television that some progress had been made in debt talks with Greece and a deal may still be reached by the end of the month. Shares had earlier pared their advance as a measure of German investor confidence unexpectedly fell in April.
