PROFIT RISE

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. had a third-quarter profit increase of 13 percent.

The earnings were attributed to cheaper buying costs. The Bentonville, Ark.-based company, however, said sales growth was slow due to higher oil prices.

“We would all like the economy to grow faster, but it is growing,” Wal-Mart chief executive Lee Scott told The Wall Street Journal this week. “We are well-positioned for the holidays, and we should have a better Christmas than last year.”

INCOME TUMBLES

Tyson Foods Inc. had a 55 percent decrease in its fiscal fourth-quarter net income.

The company attributed the loss to asset write-downs, higher grain costs and lower beef sales. The net income in October was $66 million, down from the $147 million it made a year earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported this week.
