DaimlerChrysler says Q4 at risk
The German automaker is no longer confident about meeting 2001 profit targets of $1.1 bil-$1.55 bil after the Sept. 11 attacks. But Daimler expects to top its Q3 forecast, thanks to a faster than expected restructuring of its ailing Chrysler unit. Its U.S. shares rose 1.18, or 4%, to 29.98.
Chrysler will build a sports coupe in Germany. The Crossfire will be sold in 2003 and will be the first Chrysler car sold in the U.S. with borrowed parts from Mercedes-Benz.
