Got profits?
Shares of Dean Foods (DF) have soared as investors cheered signs that the nation's top dairy producer is beginning to see its business turn around after years of stagnant growth.
Most of Dean Foods' performance this year came after the company reported a quarterly profit that was twice what analysts expected, and raised its full-year guidance.
Investors were also impressed that Dean Foods was able to pass along higher prices to consumers and wholesalers, something the company struggled with in the past.
While Dean Foods' shares are up sharply this year, they have a long way to go to recover from their 2007 highs of around $47 a share.
