Earnings roundup: Orbitz posts $146.2 million 1Q net income; Dish falls short of expectations
Among the earnings stories for Thursday, May 9, from AP Business News:
— Orbitz Worldwide Inc. posted first-quarter net income of $146.2 million as a hefty tax benefit and higher revenue from hotel and vacation package bookings helped it rebound from a loss in the year-ago period.
— The satellite TV broadcaster Dish Network Corp. fell short of Wall Street expectations for the first quarter and its shares slid.
— The Carlyle Group LP, one of the country's largest private-equity firms, reported a slight rise in quarterly profits, mostly because of a 7 percent gain in the value of its investments.
