Canadian banking stocks soar on U.S. law change By Ian Karleff TORONTO, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Investors continued to apply higher valuations to Canadian banking stocks on Monday after last week's killing of depression-era legislation in the U.S. opened the way for a new wave of financial conglomerates. Replacing the Glass-Steagall Act with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 removes restrictions on who can own banks and what banks can do. That effectively expands the market for Canadian banks with U.S. operations or could spur further acquisitions by Canadian banks in that country. ''The playing field is level. The banks can get into the insurance industry, insurance into brokerage, brokerage into banks and insurance,'' said Peter Chandler, director and senior vice-president at Canaccord Capital. Canadian banks likely to benefit the most were among the top percent gainers in the banking sector on Monday. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (Toronto:CM.TO - news) , owner of U.S. investment banker CIBC Oppenheimer, rose C$1.35 or 4 percent to C$35.70, and Toronto-Dominion Bank (Toronto:TD.TO - news) with its discount brokerage TD Waterhouse a strong U.S. player rising 4 percent, or C$1.45 to C$36.70. ''This means more competition, more consolidation, and more movement in that direction in other jurisdictions over time including Canada,'' added Chandler. The Bank of Montreal (Toronto:BMO.TO - news) with about 1 million clients at its Chicago-based Harris Bank, rose C$1.25 to C$57.50. Royal Bank of Canada (Toronto:RY.TO - news), in the midst of shopping for a mid-sized U.S. institution, also rose about 2 percent to end the day up C$1.55 to C$68.05. Canadian banks are also set to report fourth-quarter earnings starting on Thursday with Toronto-Dominion. Banking analysts are expecting earnings per share to climb as much as 20 percent from the same quarter last year, albeit a quarter marred by markets that were roiling from financial woes in Russia and Asia. Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee meets on Tuesday to decide the direction of interest rates. Although market watchers remain divided about whether the Fed will raise rates by another 25 basis points, recent inflation data suggests the U.S. economy is still healthy without major signs of inflation. ''There seems to be a friendlier interest rate outlook over the next couple of days, and that is the main driver of what we saw Friday and again today,'' said banking analyst Susan Cohen at Dundee Securities.

RHAT news RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (Reuters) - Red Hat Inc (Nasdaq:RHAT - news)., the leading distributor of Linux software, said Monday it plans to buy Cygnus Solutions in a stock deal valued at $674 million. The merger would combine Red Hat, the leading supplier of Linux software used to power servers -- the computers that run Web sites -- with privately-held Cygnus, a supplier of Linux software programming tools, with strength in software used to run handheld devices including cellphones and mobile computers. Cygnus software can also be used to power tiny computers embedded in other devices that control everything from car brakes to refrigerators and elevators. The transaction price is based on Red Hat's Friday closing price of 101-13/16 on Nasdaq. Red Hat plans to issue up to 6,624,344 shares for the outstanding Cygnus securities. The transaction, which is subject to approval by the U.S. Justice Department and Cygnus shareholders, is expected to close Jan. 27, Red Hat said. Matthew Szulik, the president of Red Hat, would lead the combined companies as president and CEO. The Linux operating system is a growing alternative to Microsoft's Windows software. The programming code is freely available to users. Companies like Red Hat make money by charging for services required to install and maintain the software.
