Among the earnings stories for Wednesday, April 9, from AP Financial News:

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Database provider InfoUSA Inc. said Wednesday that its first-quarter earnings rose, according to preliminary results.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Consumer products maker WD-40 Co. said Wednesday that its fiscal second-quarter profit declined to miss analysts' expectations, as growth in other regions failed to fully offset a U.S. sales decline.

UNION, N.J. (AP) -- Home furnishings and appliance retailer Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. said Wednesday its fiscal fourth-quarter profit dropped 16 percent due to a dip in sales and lower interest income.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Christopher & Banks Corp. swung to a loss in the fourth quarter as declining sales were met with swelling expenses, the women's clothing retailer said Wednesday.
