Thursday Morning's Market Report
BEND, OR -- Interfor, owners of the Gilchrist sawmill posted a net loss of almost $3 million in Q2. The company says demand for commodity forest products remains soft and they continue to have a cautious outlook.
Grocery giant Safeway says they have worries about deflation and decreasing profits. The company posted a smaller profit of $141 million on higher sales as margins tightened. They say sales revenue will decrease 3% this year.
Sterling Bank posted a massive $58 million loss in the 2nd quarter. Most of the loss is attributed to the sale of non-performing assets - bad loans - and the bank continues to be under the microscope of regulators.
