American Dairy Shares Tank on Revised Outlook

    Shares of American Dairy (ADY) plunged 21% Monday after the company drastically revised its full-year outlook.

    The company, which distributes infant formula and milk powder in China, cut its 2009 revenue outlook to between $270 and $290 million. It had earlier forecast sales of $330 million to $360 million.

    Reuters reported that a company official said the cut was based on a review of October sales, which suggested that fourth-quarter bump the company usually experiences may be less than expected.

    American Dairy also posted higher third quarter earnings spurred largely by a shift toward higher margin infant formula products.

    The company’s net income from continuing operations hit $11.1 million, or 52 cents per share, compared with a loss of $22.1 million, or $1.32 per share, a year ago.

    Revenue increased 94% to $72.1 million.
