    Navistar International Corp., the No. 3 U.S. truckmaker, posted a fiscal fourth-quarter profit today compared with a loss a year ago.

    Because of an improvement in truck sales, net income in the quarter ended Oct. 31 was $77 million, or $1 a share, compared with a net loss of $460 million, or $7.58 a share, a year earlier.

Ustian, Navistar president and chief executive officer, said the truck industry recovery is slower than originally forecast.
