Bonds Are a 'Safe' Investment: A Big Lie Gets Even Bigger
Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: FLE) manufactures motor and mobile homes, as well as other types of manufactured housing. The market has not been kind to the company for the past several years, as gas prices and other costs continue to escalate.Nevertheless, Fleetwood has been actively rearranging itself, cutting excess manufacturing capacity, selling off unwanted assets, producing more fuel-efficient motor homes and RV trailers. These steps have made a difference in the 2Q FY 2008 results that company recently posted.
For starters, the company actually posted operating income this quarter, $4.4 million -- quite a change from last year's 2Q operating loss of $15.2 million. This quarter's operating income was offset by $3 million in write-downs, leading to a $1.2 million net loss, or $0.02 per share for the quarter, a big improvement over a net loss of $20.4 million or $0.32 per share in 2Q FY 2007.
