Wall Street Hears Firestone Ties Records And Stock Plans
Firestone Tire reports new highs in sales and profits for the year ending Oct. 31 with last year’s sales at about 1.115 billion and earnings per share of 7.43. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co may offer voting common stock, a first for its 98 year history, potentially qualifying for a big board listing. Northern States Power earns slightly more than last year’s 1.22 a share as costs rise and rates fall. Cincinnati Milling Machine expects reduced unfilled orders but a backlog higher than normal heading into 1958. Missouri Pacific’s 60 cent dividend is seen as the new quarterly payment. Market observer comments on broad market uncertainty from global influences, with investors urged to hold a bold, bullish stance only if conditions stabilize.
