damage insurance to companies, its biggest business line.
    
    CREDIT AGRICOLE  CAGR.PA :
    France's second-biggest listed bank posted a
forecast-beating 55% jump in first-quarter net profit on Friday,

revenue up 11.1% to 801.6 million euros.

    The world's biggest music label on Thursday reported
first-quarter earnings that comfortably beat expectations,
