DineEquity swings to profit
DineEquity Inc. swung to a fourth-quarter profit over a year-earlier period hampered by heavy debt-extinguishment costs, masking a double-digit slump in revenue.
Food distributor Nash Finch Co. said Thursday it swung to a profit in its fourth quarter, due to a gain from real estate sales and the lack of an impairment charge that sunk last year's quarterly results.
