Kansas City Southern’s 3Q Profit Declines
Kansas City Southern said Thursday it earned $25.8 million, 27 cents a share, in its third quarter, compared with $48.9 million, or 52 cents, a year ago.
Revenue dropped 21.4% to $386.1 million from $491.5 million a year ago. Carloads fell 9%.
The freight railroad said that revenues had increased 13% over the second quarter and that carloads had increased 12% in the same period.
Those figures “provide reason to believe that at least we are seeing some signs of a modest recovery,” Chairman Michael Haverty said.
