The Company also raised its fiscal 2011 outlook to $2.20 to 2.25 per share, placing estimates calling for $2.24 per share comfortably within range.

  • Yamana Gold, Inc. (NYSE: AUY) high of $14.40. Initially getting a nice push from gold prices yesterday, second-quarter earnings of 25 cent per share, which beat the Street consensus of 24 cents, elevated Yumana into positive territory long enough to hit a new high.
