EADS on Thursday cut its operating profit forecast for the year by EUR400 million to breakeven, as the company's top executive called on European governments to provide relief to help offset the blow of a rapidly sinking U.S. dollar. The dollar's swoon limited EADS' revenue growth to just EUR300 million in the third quarter, compared with a year earlier, despite 10 more Airbus jet deliveries and stronger output at the company's defense units. Airbus jets are priced in U.S. dollars, but most of the company's costs are in euros.

ITT Corp. may have to up its $1.7 billion bid for EDO Corp. to win shareholder approval of its proposed acquisition of the 82-year-old defense electronics supplier. SAC Capital Advisors, which owns about 6 percent of EDO's outstanding shares, said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing late last week that ITT's $56 a share offer "may be inadequate." EDO has scheduled a special shareholder meeting for Dec. 18 to ratify the acquisition.
