Reuters•1 hour agoRecent hurricanes take toll on quarterly earnings
After raging over the southern United States and Puerto Rico, remnants of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria are now dampening U.S. corporate profits. Over half of S&P 500 companies reporting third-quarter results in recent weeks, including Harley-Davidson (HOG.N), Delta Airlines and Costco (COST.O), have said on conference calls with investors that the storms harmed their businesses to some degree, according to a Thomson Reuters analysis. "We estimate the impact of the hurricanes accounted for approximately 1.5 to 2 percentage points of Harley-Davidson's retail sales decline during the quarter," the motorcycle maker's Chief Financial Officer, John Olin, told investors on Tuesday after reporting a decline in quarterly profit per share.
