SYMBOL LOOKUP

That's up from its previous estimate of 66 cents to 71 cents per share.

The Atlanta-based owner of Popeyes restaurants said it was boosting its full-year outlook because of a nine cent-per-share second-quarter benefit it received from an insurance claim settlement.

Separately Monday, AFC Enterprises said it earned $6.6 million, or 26 cents per share, during the second quarter. That compares with the previous year's result of $6.6 million, or 22 cents per share.

Excluding a pretax benefit of $3.8 million, the company said it earned $4.3 million, or 17 cents per share.

AFC shares fell 9 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $8.44 in trading Wednesday.
