Bloomberg: Red Sox value ranks third

Bloomberg News, taking a page from Forbes' playbook, has estimated the 2012 valuations for all 30 MLB franchises. Tops are the New York Yankees with an estimated worth of $3.3 billion, and then come the Los Angeles Dodgers at $2.1 billion. The Red Sox rank third at $2.06 billion, just ahead of the New York Mets at $2.05 billion. In all, 10 teams are tabbed as having valuations of at least $1 billion, and the average across all 30 clubs is a tidy $1 billion.

Dunkin' Brands third-quarter profit soars

The operator of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins stores said yesterday that its net income jumped 36 percent, as revenue from established U.S. locations got a lift from strong beverage and breakfast sandwich growth.

But earnings fell short of expectations, and the company said it will probably hit the low end of its 2013 forecast due to write-downs on investments in Spain.

Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. said it earned $40.2 million, or 37 cents per share, in the three months that ended Sept. 30, up from $29.5 million, or 26 cents per share, in last year's quarter.

Microsoft reports record sales

Microsoft yesterday reported record sales of $18.5 billion for its fiscal first quarter, with net income jumping by a healthy 17 percent from a year ago to $5.2 billion.

It recorded a 10 percent increase in corporate software sales, a 47 percent jump in search-related ad sales, and increased sales of Microsoft's Surface tablet after a series of price cuts.

But revenue generated from Microsoft's flagship product, Windows, fell by 7 percent in the quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Compared with the great success of Windows 7, the company's Windows 8 operating system has proven a disappointment since its release last October.
