Alexander & Baldwin raises dividend

Ford earnings way up on demand for trucks

DEARBORN, Mich. >> Pickup trucks powered Ford Motor Co. to record North American results in the third quarter.

Ford earned $2.7 billion in North America, up 89 percent from a year ago, largely on higher sales of its new F-150 pickup truck. Ford introduced the aluminum-sided truck last fall but didn’t reach full production at its two U.S. factories until June.

The results were the strongest indication yet that Ford’s risky decision to remake its best-selling vehicle as a lighter aluminum model is paying off. Sales of F-Series pickups reached a nine-year high for the period. In the U.S. alone, Ford sold 207,271 F-Series trucks. That’s 85 trucks per hour.

U.S. home values, rents defying slowdown

WASHINGTON >> U.S. housing appears to be insulated so far from the cooling global economy.

Home values and rental prices are steadily rising, fueled by strong demand and a tight supply, a pair of reports Tuesday showed.

The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index climbed 5.1 percent in the 12 months that ended in August. And in September, median rents nationwide rose a seasonally adjusted 3.7 percent from a year ago, according to real estate data firm Zillow.
