Among the earnings stories for Tuesday, Oct. 28, from AP Financial News:

MIAMI (AP) — Royal Caribbean Cruises said Tuesday that its earnings rose 4 percent in the third quarter, but warned that new bookings deteriorated during September due to the economic turmoil.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — CACI International Inc. on Tuesday said its first-quarter profit rose 15 percent as it secured more valuable contracts with the defense department, state and local governments and federal civilian agencies.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Whirlpool Corp. said Tuesday it is eliminating about 5,000 jobs this year and next, due in large part to the long downturn in the U.S. housing market.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Shares of Hercules, which has agreed to be acquired by fellow chemical company Ashland, soared Tuesday even after it reported that its third-quarter profit fell 19 percent.

CONCORD, Calif. (AP) — Logistics and transportation company Pacer International Inc. on Tuesday said its third-quarter profit jumped by more than half, helped by revenue growth from its intermodal and logistics segments.
