The results missed Wall Street expectations, and Mylan reduced its 2016 profit forecast.

In early October, Mylan said it would pay $465 million to settle allegations that it overbilled Medicaid for years for its life-saving EpiPen. The settlement with the Department of Justice follows news that EpiPen has been incorrectly classified since late 1997 as a generic product under the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled, rather than as a brand-name drug, which requires rebates to Medicaid nearly twice as high as for generic medicines. That charge, other litigation costs and higher spending on marketing, administration and research doubled operating expenses in the latest quarter. On Wednesday, Mylan reported a third-quarter loss of $119.8 million, or 23 cents per share, after reporting a $428.6 million profit in the same period a year earlier. Earnings, adjusted for nonrecurring costs, came to $1.38 per share, well below the $1.50 per share analysts expected.

Christmas cheer cu ps Starbucks will be unveiling its holiday coffee cups for this year with what look to be snowflakes and reindeer, after last more subdued red cups caused an uproar from critics who said the chain was part of a so-called war on Christmas. The coffee chain was set to roll out the red cups to stores today. But a New York store had a display Tuesday showing 10 different cups it said were designed by customers around the world, some featuring ornaments, Santa Claus and other holiday symbols. Starbucks Corp. says its plans are still under wraps and declined to say more about the cups.

It has released holiday cups every year since 1997. The outcry over plainer red cup grew after now President-elect Donald Trump suggested boycotting the chain. Arctic refuge drilling U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, hopes to advance a proposal to allow for oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, seeing an opportunity with Republicans controlling Congress and Republican Donald Trump set to become president.

Murkowski told reporters she will continue chairing the Senate energy committee and will work early on to push for allowing drilling. U.S. Rep. Don Young also plans to pursue legislation to open the refuge to drilling when the new Congress convenes in January. Murkowski says she sees opportunities to advance energy policy in Alaska.

But she says Republicans will have to work with Democrats. Elisabeth Balster Dabney, executive director of the Northern Alaska Environmental Center, predicted any efforts to allow for drilling on the coastal plain would be a major fight. shift Co. reported a boost in profit as it dramatically cut costs while it continues to sell company-owned restaurants and shift to a more franchise-heavy operation. Profit surged more than five-fold to $48.9 million, or 18 cents per share, despite a 22 percent drop in overall revenue.

The drop in revenue was more than offset by an 89.8 percent rise in operating profit as it sells back restaurants. The Dublin, Ohio-based company said still on track with plans to lower its company-run restaurant ownership to about 5 percent of the total system by end. It plans on selling 315 restaurants to franchisees during 2016. shares rose 20 cents to close at $11.33 Wednesday. The stock has climbed 20 percent in the last 12 months.

British economy The European Union says that economic growth in Britain is set to next year because of the impact of the June referendum vote to leave the 28-nation bloc. In publication of the Autumn forecasts, the EU said that GDP growth in Britain is set to fall from a projected 1.9 percent for this year, to just 1 percent next year, before slightly picking up to 1.2 percent in 2018.

The company said Wednesday it will suspend the third shifts at factories in Lordstown, Ohio, and in Lansing, because of the market change, which is growing and shows no sign of abating. About 1,250 workers will be furloughed at the Lordstown plant, which makes the Chevrolet Cruze compact car, starting Jan.

Another 840 will be idled at the Lansing Grand River factory, which makes the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car and the Cadillac ATS and CTS luxury cars, when their shifts end Jan. 16. supply and demand, and right now the demand is not there for what we said Glenn Johnson, president of a United Auto Workers union local at the Lordstown plant. Last month, 61.6 percent of U.S.

new vehicle sales were trucks and SUVs, according to Autodata Corp. a record that is likely to be broken, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president for forecasting at the consulting firm LMC Automotive. Because of the shift, likely the GM layoffs be the last at auto factories that build only cars in the slowing compact, subcompact and midsize segments, Schuster said. not inevitable but the likelihood is certainly he said. Americans have been moving away from cars toward trucks and SUVs for several years now as gas prices have dropped to near $2 per gallon and the larger vehicles have become more efficient.

Baby boomers and young people are attracted to smaller SUVs because of their cargo-carrying ability, high seating position and visibility. Sales of the Ohio-manufactured Cruze are down nearly 20 percent this year even though a new version is only in its second year of production. Of the vehicles made in Lansing, ATS and CTS sales each are down about 17 percent this year, while Camaro sales are off 9 percent. More than 2,000 face GM layo ANNE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK Serious deal-seekers are already planning their Thanksgiving weekend shopping, and experts believe that once again the holiday itself may offer better deals than Black Friday the day afterward. Amid the clutter of deals clamoring for attention, smart and careful shoppers can come out ahead.

researching and said Benjamin Glaser, features editor with DealNews.com, a deal comparison website. Here are four ways to get the most out of Black Friday weekend and beyond. STUDY UP: Make a comprehensive list of what you plan to buy, research what those items usually sell for at full price and on sale, and figure out how much you want to spend. Also check out store fliers from previous years online, since many retailers repeat the same deals at the same price. Eighty percent of the products and 43 percent of the prices highlighted on the front pages of the 2015 and 2014 Black Friday fliers of Best Buy, Target, Walmart and J.C.

Penney were the same, said Market Track LLC, a price tracking firm. Make sure to note at what times different stores plan to start their Black Friday deals both online and at the store. For example, J.C. Penney is making its deals available on its website on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for the first time. It will open its doors on Thanksgiving at 3 p.m., the same time as last year.

offered last Thursday a subset of the Black Friday deals that will be available for Thanksgiving, when it opens its doors at 6 p.m. For the first time, it will offer online starting on Thanksgiving while supplies last. In the past, doorbusters were only at the store. LOOK AT THE WHOLE SEASON: Retailers have been starting to spread their offers out, with some starting well before Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Earlier this month, Walmart and Amazon.com both kicked holiday deals on thousands of items.

Still, a good chance you can get a better deal on Thanksgiving for certain items. DealNews.com said 38 percent of the specials pushed on the holiday were what the site considered top deals, compared to only 31 percent for Black Friday. But not every deal is the best on Thanksgiving. DealNews.com said likely better to buy cameras, TVs, tablets and major appliances on Thanksgiving, and tools on Black Friday. On the Monday after Thanksgiving, known as Cyber Monday, is also a good day for shoppers to get deep discounts on clothing and laptops.

Traci Gregorski, senior vice president of marketing at Market Track, says that Monday is also a good time to buy laptops, small appliances and toys and games, based on an analysis of more than 1,400 listings across Amazon, Best Buy, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart. to the benefit to do their homework to ensure they are getting the best Gregorski said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It turns out that President Donald Trump may not be bad for the stock market after all.

Asian stock markets stumbled shortly after Trump overtook Hillary Clinton in the presidential vote count early Wednesday. From there, Wall Street appeared set for a slump of its own, only it never materialized. Global financial markets soon steadied as Trump delivered an acceptance speech pledging to unify a deeply divided nation. And despite wavering in the first hour of trading, U.S. stocks rallied the rest of the day, lifting the Dow Jones industrial average within 50 points of a record high close.

The average was briefly up 317 points.

The Standard 500 index gained 23.70 points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,163.26 The Nasdaq composite index rose 57.58 points, or 1.1 percent, to 5,251.07. Wall Street had largely seen Clinton as more likely to maintain the status quo, while viewing polices as less clear. Investor anxiety ratcheted up in recent weeks as the race tightened, leading to a nine-day slump for the market that ended Monday. By Election Day, the market had mostly bounced back and priced in a Clinton win. On Wednesday, faced with a president-elect Trump, traders piled into health care and financial stocks sectors seen as likely to struggle under a Clinton administration.

They also sold off safe-haven stocks like utilities and consumer-focused companies. Investors hope Trump plans for infrastructure spending, tax cuts and lighter regulation will benefit the economy. They expect those spending plans will call for issuing more debt. A sell-off in bonds sent prices tum bling, driving the yield on the 10-year Treasury note up to 2.08 percent from 1.86 percent late Tuesday. the highest the rate has been since January.

That yield is a benchmark used to set interest rates on many kinds of loans including home mortgages. Traders are selling bonds to hedge against the possibility that interest rates, which have been ultra-low for years, could rise steadily again under a Trump administration, said Tom di Galoma, managing director of trading at Seaport Global Securities. are starting to believe that Donald Trump is good for the economy, which makes him not so good for the bond di Galoma said. also had the stock market come back overnight.
