Dura Automotive returns to profit in 2nd quarter

DETROIT, July 24 (Reuters) - Auto parts maker Dura Automotive Systems Inc. said on Thursday it swung to a profit in the second quarter, boosted by an earlier restructuring.

Three analysts on average expected the Rochester Hills, Michigan-based company to earn 53 cents a share, with estimates ranging from 50 cents to 55 cents, according to Reuters Research, a unit of Reuters Group Plc.
