Low-cost Canadian carrier WestJet Airlines is back in the black after two quarters of red ink, but investors aren't popping champagne corks. Its profit of C$2.3 million ($1.9 million), or 2 cents per share, for the quarter ended June 30 fell far short of analysts' consensus forecast of 14 cents per share. Quarterly revenues came in at C$325 million, a 27% increase from the same period a year earlier but lower than analysts had expected.

At Lockheed Martin Corp.'s headquarters in Bethesda, Md., executives rolled out second-quarter results that wowed Wall Street. Net income was up 56% from a year earlier, to $461 million ($1.02 a share), profit margins rose, and the company increased its earnings estimate for the full year.

In 2003, advanced metals supplier Ladish Co. eked out a profit that was barely enough to pay a junior janitor: $19,000. Like other industrial manufacturers with large fixed costs and a heavy reliance on aerospace customers, Ladish's business went off a cliff during the downturn that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Sales dropped 30%, profits dried up, and its stock declined from more than $15 a share in 2001 to less than $5 in 2003.
