Kodak Still Blurry: Fool by Numbers

By Motley Fool Contributors November 1, 2006

0 Recommendations

On Oct. 31, imaging company Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK) released earnings for the third quarter ended Sept. 30.

  • Declining volume and an unfavorable price mix led to a 9.8% drop in revenue.
  • Earnings under generally accepted accounting principles showed improvement, but remained in negative territory.
  • Net cash from operating activities is also negative through nine months, but management said it expects a positive full-year total of $800 million to $1 billion.
  • Our Motley Fool CAPS community has pinned a meager one star on this stock.
