Among the earnings stories for Thursday, Oct. 29, from AP Financial News:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Sprint Nextel Corp., the nation's third-largest wireless carrier, on Thursday reported a wider third-quarter loss and a larger exodus of customers despite an improved slate of phones and cheaper rates.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Health insurer Aetna Inc. said Thursday its third-quarter profit rose 18 percent on enrollment gains, but spiraling medical costs continued to hurt the company's core insurance business.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. wound up losing more money in its third quarter than a year earlier, even though its revenue was stable, in part because it repaid some debt early.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Energy company NorthWestern Corp. said late Wednesday that its third-quarter profit increased by 41 percent, spurred mostly by a $12.4 million tax benefit from a repair expense deduction.
NEW YORK (AP) — The world's largest publicly traded oil company said Thursday that oil production is bouncing back with crude prices.
CHICAGO (AP) — Burger King Corp.'s fiscal first-quarter profit slipped 6 percent as recession-weary diners stayed home or went bargain-hunting at competitors, the company said Thursday.
BROOMFIELD, Colo. (AP) — Plastic and metal packaging company Ball Corp. said Thursday its third-quarter profit rose slightly, crediting cost savings from previous restructuring efforts, and beat Wall Street predictions.
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Corinthian Colleges Inc. said Thursday that unemployment near 10 percent drove more students to its schools, boosting fiscal first-quarter profit by nearly sixfold.
