Harman Int’l Stock Up 43% in 2 Weeks

Harman Industries saw its stock price soar in recent weeks, despite news its profit fell by 86% vs. 2010.


Can someone please explain the stock market to me?

Harman International Industries' (NYSE: HAR) stock is skyrocketing. The stock is up 43 percent in the past two weeks, rising from $26.20 on October 3 to $37.47 on October 14, as of press time.

The rise comes despite the fact that Harman announced in mid-August that its profits slumped 86 percent vs. the prior year; but Harman did report better-than-expected fourth quarter revenues due to international sales. As a result of that news, Relational Investors LLC increased its stake in the company. Harman brands include JBL, Lexicon, JBL Synthesis, Revel, Crown and others.

Investors just made some great money on bad news, while all the 99%-ers are protesting down on Wall St.
