FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - There were two more record highs in the third German stock league SDax on Tuesday. Both the shares of the investment group Mutares and the shares of Atoss Software reached record highs. Mutares rose by 2.3 percent to EUR 37.30 and Atoss Software by 1.8 percent to EUR 248. However, profit-taking set in recently.

For Mutares it was the fourth stock market day in a row with a high and for Atoss Software the third with a record. Mutares' share price rally began at the beginning of September and since then has seen a gain of almost 70 percent. Atoss Software has risen by a peak of 27 percent from its most recent low just over three weeks ago.

Mutares recently received a boost from its inclusion in the SDax at the end of last year. In addition, the prospect of successful sales of shareholdings, combined with distributions to shareholders, is creating share price fantasy. Investors in Atoss Software value, among other things, an increasing proportion of recurring revenues. Berenberg Bank estimates that this will account for 74 percent of total sales in the coming year./bek/jha/
