Among the earnings stories for Wednesday, April 30, from AP Financial News:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) _ International Paper reported Wednesday that first-quarter earnings sank as the company paid more for raw materials and did not benefit from land sales as it did in the same period last year.

NEW YORK (AP) _ RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.'s profit shrank 28 percent in the first quarter as the insurer collected less in premiums and reaped weaker returns from its investment portfolio, the company said Tuesday.

DES PLAINES, Ill. (AP) _ Shares of Littelfuse Inc. jumped Wednesday after the fuse maker said its first-quarter profit declined on charges, but adjusted earnings and the company's sales forecast surpassed Wall Street's expectations.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ Shares of Anaren Inc., which designs and makes microwave and radio frequency components, sank to a new three-year low Wednesday after the company reported its fiscal third-quarter profit declined as its gross margin fell.
