Santa Fe Industries Revenue to Top $1 Billion in 1973
John Reed, chairman of Santa Fe Industries, told stockholders the firm expects revenues to substantially exceed $1 billion in 1973. He cited a first four months net income of $27.8 million versus $23.7 million in 1972, a 15 percent rise, with earnings per share up to $1.07 from 95 cents. The 1972 transportation group accounted for most revenues and income before taxes, while rail revenue rose in early 1973 despite higher wages and costs tied to export chain efforts.
