MOD-PAC CORP. (Nasdaq: MPAC), increased over 100% in early trading to $4.92 on well above average trading volume. The manufacturer of custom and stock paper board packaging and personalized print products today reported total revenue of $12.59 million in the third quarter of 2009, which ended October 3, 2009, relatively flat compared with revenue of $12.64 million in the 2008 third quarter. Strong sales growth in the custom folding carton line was offset by reduced sales in the stock packaging and personalized print lines which have been impacted heavily by the weak economy and the elimination of sales to the commercial print market due to the rationalization of the Company’s specialty print and direct mail product line in June this year. Excluding last year’s specialty print and direct mail sales, total revenue in the recent quarter grew $1.0 million, or 8.8%, as compared with the 2008 third quarter. Net income for the quarter was $1.01 million, or $0.29 per diluted share compared with net income of $14 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.


Pacer International Inc. (Nasdaq: PACR), jumped nearly 40% in early trading after the company announced after Tuesday’s close that it has resolved a dispute with Union Pacific and turned a surprise profit in the third quarter. The deal with Union Pacific extends and expands terms for big-box shipments under an agreement that would have expired in 2011. It also resolves claims between the two companies over domestic container transportation. Pacer said Union Pacific paid it $30 million under the new agreement, which Pacer will use to pay down a credit line by about 50 percent. Pacer also reported that its third-quarter profit dropped to $600,000, or 2 cents per share, for the quarter ended Sept. 30, from year-ago earnings of $20.8 million, or 59 cents per share. Revenue fell 25 percent to $418.7 million from $557.8 million as the economic slump curbed freight demand.
