Ford Reports Surprise Rise In Earnings DETROIT (AP) Ford Motor the nation's No. 2 automaker, surprised analysts Thursday by reporting a 12 percent rise in third-quarter profits. The firm said earnings were a record 8301 million, or $2 52 per share, in the third quarter, compared to 8267 million, or $2.25 per share, a year ago. The improvement came on a 10 percent jump in sales to 89.7 billion, also a record for the quarter ended Sept 30, Ford said. Sales in last year's third quarter were 88.8 billion.

Analysts had forecast a dip in Ford's earnings, the result of a 73 percent drop in the firm's North American profits.
