Famous German car company sees first quarter net profit fall 17%.
I can't reveal the name because in the past I have fallen foul of this forum...
The figures were described as "the effects from the international financial crisis" resulting in "exceptional expenses".

Reason for edit: company singular not plural.

BMW. Sales up 11%, PBT down 25%, net profit down 17% for the quarter. What's the secret?

Still worth 22.6 billion Euros, don;t think they'll have to sell product lines to the Chinese just yet.

True, if you bring PBT into then gold should be selling at $2224 an ounce and the fact economist can't agree if this is a recession, a depression or what's todays term ?

American mainstream company turns a $282m net loss twelve months ago into $100m profit and some companies are down 17% is not worthy of a posting.
