ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- HB Fuller Co., which makes adhesives and chemicals, said Wednesday it expects to grow earnings from continuing operations 10 percent to 15 percent, on a compound annual basis, from 2008 to 2012. The company also anticipates organic revenue growth of 3 percent to 5 percent per year, on a compound annual basis, during that period.

It previously forecast earnings of $1.65 per share to $1.75 per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial forecast a profit of $1.76 per share for 2007. Shares fell 65 cents to $29.90 in midday trading.
