At one point, shares in Micro Focus, one of the UK largest IT companies, fell by a half, as the company announced a profits warning. The problems are related to the purchase of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's software business for £6.8bn, a purchase that included former UK company Autonomy that had been adsorbed into HP earlier. Despite the warning, the company has stated that its cost savings drive is ahead of schedule and its net debt was expected to be in line with expectations.
