Total revenue was $1.76 billion, slightly more than last year. “We continue to deliver solid profit growth despite soft market demand,” Chief Executive Mitch Butier said in a statement. “Our focus in this slower growth environment has been to protect our margins in the base business, while driving faster-than-average growth in high value categories like RFID, and we’re executing well on both fronts.” Shares of Avery Dennison (AVY) closed Wednesday up $7.71, or 6.5 percent, to $126.14 on the New York Stock Exchange.
