4. Статья. GE Earnings, Revenue Jump in Third Quarter

Oct. 9 (AP) -- General Electric Co.'s third-quarter earnings rose 11 percent and revenue jumped 15 percent as a rebounding economy and acquisitions drove a sharp increase in orders, the company said.

The Fairfield-based industrial, financial services and media conglomerate said Friday it earned $4.05 billion, or 38 cents per share, in the July-September period, up from $3.65 billion, or 36 cents a share, a year ago.

The results matched the consensus estimate of 38 cents per share of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.

Revenue for the quarter was $38.3 billion, up from $33.4 billion a year ago. It was the largest quarterly jump in revenue in several years and followed an 11 percent increase in the second quarter.

Excluding acquisitions, industrial sales rose 12 percent.

For the first nine months of 2004, GE reported earnings of $11.2 billion, or $1.08 per share, on revenue of $108.7 billion. That compared with earnings of $10.4 billion, or $1.04 per share, on revenue of $97.2 billion a year ago.
