Chrysler Reports Remarkable Profits 01/19/96 Both Reuters and the Associated Press reported that Chrysler announced its profits for the fourth quarter. Although earnings were 11% lower than last year's figures, they surprised Wall Street and and comprised the second best quarterly earnings the company has ever seen. Chrysler stock rose $1.87 in response and profit sharing employees can expect a payment averaging $3,200. Profits have been credited to minivan and full-sized pickup sales, and less spending on consumer incentives. Summarized by Paul Dever
