Net income rose to 179.6 billion yen ($1.7 billion), or 98.98 yen a share for the three months ended June 30, from 166.1 billion yen, or 91.38, a year earlier, the company said in a release Friday.
Honda is the only major carmaker this year to have boosted sales in the U.S., where it surpassed Chrysler as the fourth-biggest seller in May and June. The company increased U.S. sales of the Fit, as gasoline costs climbed to more than $4 a gallon.
Bratz mistrial weighed
The lawyer for the maker of Bratz dolls said Friday he will seek a mistrial over an ethnic slur made by a juror who has been dismissed from the copyright infringement case brought by Mattel Inc.
The juror made the remark about company CEO Isaac Larian during jury deliberations in the first phase of the federal trial in Riverside, Calif., said attorney Thomas Nolan, who represents MGA Entertainment Inc.
Nolan said the juror, a woman, was dismissed after another
member of the panel accused her of making inappropriate comments about Larian's ethnic background. Larian is Iranian.
Netflix beats forecast
Netflix Inc.'s second-quarter profit crept up 4 percent, beating analyst expectations as the online DVD rental leader signed up 168,000 new customers while spending less money to attract them to the service.
The Los Gatos, Calif.-based company said Friday that it earned $26.6 million, or 42 cents per share, from April through June, up from $25.6 million, or 37 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. The average earnings estimate among analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial was 40 cents per share.
Netflix shares gained $1.12, or 4.2 percent, to $27.85 in Friday trading.
