Earnings Roundup: AOL, America Movil

Among the earnings stories for Wednesday, Feb. 6, from AP Financial News:

NEW YORK (AP) _ AOL had its slowest quarter of advertising growth since beginning its ambitious transformation into an ad-focused Internet business, increasing uncertainty about AOL's future especially as Microsoft Corp. boosts its ambitions in the same arena.

MEXICO CITY (AP) _ America Movil SA, Latin America's largest mobile phone service provider, said Wednesday it expected to obtain 20 million to 21 million new subscribers this year while maintaining average revenues per user with the launch of its new third-generation headsets.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) _ Medical waste management company Stericycle Inc. said Wednesday its fourth-quarter profit narrowed, mainly on a hefty contract arbitration settlement in Australia.

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) _ WMS Industries Inc., which makes slot machines and other casino games, said Wednesday its fiscal second-quarter profit jumped by nearly a third as it shipped a record number of machines and benefited from strong international growth.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) _ Forrester Research Inc. said Wednesday its fourth-quarter profits were hurt by stock-compensation expenses and other special items, though adjusted net income rose.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Shares of nutritional and skin care products company USANA Health Sciences Inc. tanked Wednesday after it reported flat fourth quarter profit, offered lower-than-expected guidance and said its U.S. associate ranks suffered a decline.
