Amgen Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AMGN) fourth-quarter profit grew 15% percent to $961 million, or 91 cents per share, mostly due to lower expenses. Revenue was $3.75 billion about the same as last year.

Eaton Corp.'s (NYSE: ETN) fourth-quarter profit dropped 36% to $163 million, or 98 cents per share, as lower exchange rates cut into the company's sales. But sales rose 3.3% to $3.49 billion.

Halliburton Co.'s (NYSE: HAL) fourth-quarter profit fell 32% to $468 million, or 53 cents per share, on revenue of $4.91 billion.

Results were affected by productivity-initiative charges and the effects of foreign exchange. Shares fell $0.35, or 0.8%.

Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE: TSN) said it lost $112 million in its fiscal first quarter, or 30 cents per share, due to higher grain and energy costs and decreased demand from consumers. Revenue was $6.52 billion, slightly higher than a year ago. Shares rose $0.25, or 2.9%.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE: FCX) posted its biggest quarterly loss ever: $13.9 billion, or $36.78 per share, largely due to commodity price declines and the acquisition of Phelps Dodge.
