NEW YORK — H.J. Heinz Co.’s second-quarter net income rose 9 percent, helped by growth in overseas markets such as Latin America, more demand for its ketchup and price increases.
The maker of Classico pasta sauce and Ore-Ida potatoes said Friday that net income rose to $251.4 million, or 78 cents per share. That’s up from $231.4 million, or 73 cents per share, in the same period last year. That beat analyst expectations of 76 cents per share, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters.
