Detroit-based Compuware’s shares rose after the software maker said its second-quarter earnings climbed. Results were helped by the departure of some noncore lines and service contracts. Earnings were $28 million, or 12 cents per share, vs. $21.6 million, or 8 cents, a year ago. It nearly doubled its operating margin to 19 percent by divesting product lines and exiting service contracts.
