SYMBOL LOOKUP

COLUMBIA, Md. (AP)--Micros Systems Inc., which makes information systems for the hospitality industry, said Thursday its fiscal 2008 fourth-quarter profit grew 12 percent on higher revenue.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)--Hurco Cos., a maker of computerized machine tools, Thursday said its net income rose 13 percent in the latest quarter, as a weak dollar and growth in European sales offset weak U.S. demand.

NEW YORK (AP)--Williams-Sonoma Inc. said Thursday its second-quarter profit fell by nearly 30 percent, and the company slashed its profit forecast for 2008.

CHICAGO (AP)--Beleaguered retailer Sears Holdings Corp. reported a hefty drop in second-quarter profit as sales slumped, despite a restructuring aimed at drawing back shoppers who've taken their checkbooks elsewhere.
