Chief Pulse Comment by John R Scannell
Strong aircraft sales, partly the result of accelerated foreign shipments, helped
Moog's first quarter profits rise by 9 percent, easily topping analyst forecasts.
"We're off to a nice start," said Scannell, who succeeded Chairman Robert T. Brady as chief executive officer in December. The improved profits came as
Moog's sales grew by 8 percent to $600 million, which also was slightly stronger than analysts were forecasting.
Moog executives said they now expect the company's sales for the current fiscal year, which ends in September, to be al most 2 percent lower than they originally predicted because of weaker foreign currencies and a slightly lower industrial sales forecast

Moreover, the iPhone is so profitable, it helped push
Apple's gross profit margin to 44.7%, a full seven percentage points higher than
Apple's average gross margin over the past three years.
The iPhone probably makes up 67% of Apple's gross profit, according to data compiled by Sanford Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi. This most recent triumph bears the mark of Cook's unique genius. He was recruited by Jobs when he was running the procurement operations for Compaq Computer in 1998

Chief Pulse Comment by Matthew Boyle
Much of the revival in business follows signs of economic recovery around the world with growing demand for the motor controllers and other parts it makes for vehicles ranging from forklift trucks to sports utility vehicles.
Chief executive Matt Boyle said: "Business with new customers in the on road electric vehicle sector and continued demand for aerial work platform and forklift truck applications combined to accelerate Sevcon's top line growth and improved our profitability in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.". The company, which has factories in China, Mexico and Poland, has seen particular growth in overseas markets with the industrial boom in the Far East. "This was a strong sales quarter for us in Europe and the Asia Pacific region

Chief Pulse Comment by Ron Johnson
More than 60 percent of its stores were built in or before the 1980s, according to Barclays Capital, and the company's overall sales have been weak.
Johnson added that he was not closing any stores, for now. "When we haven't gotten the whole concept right yet, it doesn't make sense," he said. Denise Lee Yohn, a branding consultant, said that she was impressed with some of his ideas, but that Penney's physical presence was a limiting factor
