Earning Plays

Wendy's 4Q earnings more than quadruple
Wendy's International says its fourth-quarter earnings more than quadrupled from a year ago, when it took major charges for discontinued operations.

The burger chain based in the Columbus suburbs also says its restaurants reported better margins for the quarter despite high commodity prices.

The fast-food company says it made $14.1 million, or 16 cents per share, for the quarter ended December 30th.

Discounting a 1-time charge, Wendy's would have made 21 cents a share, 2 cents below Wall Street analysts' forecasts.
