Hansen posts strong earnings

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:50:00 GMT

Nov. 6--Hansen Natural Corp. on Thursday continued to display its ability to ride out rough economic times by posting solid third-quarter earnings, although they did fall slightly short of analysts' predictions.
The Corona-based beverage maker reported a profit of $56.5 million for the third quarter, equating to 60 cents per share and up 7.8 percent from the $52.4 million, or 54 cents per share, in the same three months of 2008.
Analysts had predicted a profit of 63 cents a share, and Hansen's stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, was down by as much as 9 percent in after-hours trading.
