INDUSTRY HEADLINES: Rubbermaid to cut jobs, lines The Atlanta Journal-Constitution...July 16, 2008 Wednesday Socked by higher commodity prices, particularly for resin used in its plastics, Newell Rubbermaid said Tuesday it will exit several product lines, raise prices on others by as much as 22 percent and cut an unspecified number of jobs. It lowered its full-year, per-share earnings forecast to $1.40 to $1.60 from prior guidance of $1.80 to $1.90. The new guidance assumes the per-barrel price of oil stays around $140 in a best-case scenario. The worst-case assumption: Oil hits $200 a barrel. "In recent weeks, input cost inflation has accelerated dramatically, especially in resin, which is the largest single component of our cost of goods," Mark Ketchum, Newell Rubbermaid's president and chief executive, said in a statement.
