Alberto-Culver Co

Article Abstract:

Alberto-Culver Co's enthusiasm about its billion dollar sales achievement prompted the addition of another 2-cent stock dividend to its usual 6 cents for the Sep 1992 quarter. Chmn and CEO Leonard Lavin has emphasized that the extra dividend reflects the firm's determination to reach the two-billion dollar sales level. The personal care products and specialty foods maker has also weathered relatively unsatisfactory market conditions. Alberto-Culver's 94.5% stake in Cedderoth International has also been profitable.
