KBR Inc. (KBR) is up almost 7% after the engineering and construction company said its Q1 net tripled last year's earnings largely on its Iraq war contracts.
The company reported net profit of $98 million, or 58 cents a share, up from $28 million, or 17 cents a share, a year ago. It attributed the gain to a favorable arbitration award and stronger "upstream business."
The company, a former subsidiary of Halliburton Co (HAL), provides services to oil and gas drillers and is one of the Pentagon's largest private contractors in Iraq. Revenue was up 24% at $2.52 billion.
SIRATYST (Stuff I Read and Thought You Should Too) “Either the triumph of imperialism and the destruction of all culture, and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; OR, the VICTORY OF SOCIALISM, that is, the conscious struggle of the international proletariat against imperialism.” Rosa Luxemburg
