Update: Black & Decker 2nd-quarter net off 22%
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Black & Decker Corp., the Towson, Md., toolmaker, reported second-quarter net income fell 22% on 3.4% lower revenue. Earnings fell to $96.7 million, or $1.61 a share, from $118 million, or $1.80, in the year-earlier period. Revenue fell to $1.64 billion from $1.7 billion. A survey of analysts by FactSet Research produced a consensus estimate of $1.43 of profit. A favorable tax rate contributed 12 cents a share to the latest earnings, enabling BDK to exceed estimates, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Nolan D. Archibald said in a statement. "Weak demand in the U.S. and slowing conditions in parts of Western Europe, however, resulted in lower sales and earnings than in 2007," he said. Black & Decker now expects earnings of $1.30 to $1.40 a share for the third quarter and adjusted earnings of $5.25 to $5.45 for the year. In April, Black & Decker had reduced its full-year adjusted forecast to a range of $5.25 to $5.65 a share.
