LEHMAN BROTHERS TO TAKE $56 MILLION CHARGE Lehman Brothers Holdings said yesterday that it would take a fourth-quarter after-tax charge of $56 million, or 21 cents a share, to pay for a settlement of charges that it misled investors with biased research. Lehman, which announced fourth-quarter earnings in December, said profit would be 23 percent less than originally reported. It will post a profit of $187 million, or 69 cents a share, down from $243 million, or 91 cents. Regulators announced last month a $1.4 billion settlement with 10 of the largest securities firms to resolve conflict-of-interest allegations. The agreement includes a $50 million fine against Lehman, plus a requirement that it spend $25 million to buy independent research for customers and $5 million on investor education. (Bloomberg News) SCHERING SAYS '02 EARNINGS ARE SHORT OF FORECAST Schering-Plough said yesterday that 2002 profit was $1.40 to $1.42 a share, below estimates, because of declining sales for its Claritin allergy medication. The company said earlier that it expected to earn $1.58 a share. It had profit of 27 to 29 cents in the fourth quarter, below the 44-cent average estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call. Schering-Plough won approval in November to begin selling a version of Claritin without a doctor's prescription after losing a battle to prevent generic versions from reaching the market. Shares of Schering-Plough rose 19 cents, to $23.06.
