Top stories:

Computer maker Dell Inc. said Thursday its fiscal second-quarter profit fell 17 percent, hurt in part by lower prices and restructuring charges. The earnings were short of Wall Street estimates, and Dell shares plunged.

Other stories:

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (AP)--Chip maker Marvell Technology Group Ltd. on Thursday reported second-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street expectations, as it boosted sales while keeping expenses in check.

NEW YORK (AP)--Rising sales in Asia and Europe boosted Tiffany & Co.'s second-quarter profit on Thursday, signaling that strong international demand for jewelry is helping offset U.S. economic weakness.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)--Liquor company Brown-Forman Corp. said Thursday its first-quarter profit fell 7 percent, taking a shot to its earnings when problems with a key raw material in its tequila production caused a $22 million pretax charge. It also lowered its annual earnings projection as a result of the charge.
