"Sotheby's shares rose 4.9% to $15.72 each in after-hours trading, as revenue topped Wall Street's expectations. The stock has regained nearly three-quarters of its value this year, but it is still far below its all-time high of more than $58 in 2007. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected per-share earnings of 28 cents on revenue of $153 million."
