BANGALORE, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Joy Global Inc JOYG.O posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit and raised its full-year earnings view as miners, eyeing a recovery in demand, resume spending on mining equipment.

Shares of the company, known for its giant shovels and draglines, rose 7 percent to $60.33 in mid-day trade on Nasdaq. About 3 million shares changed hands, twice the 10-day moving average volume of the stock.

Joy Global, which along with rival Bucyrus International Inc BUCY.O holds about 80 percent share of the global mining equipment market, said it expects capital spending for the mining industry to be up about 30 percent this year and rise by another 10 percent in 2011.

The company's bullish forecast is in contrast to its cautious view in June, when the market was gripped by fears of project cancellations from large customers following the European debt sovereign crisis and the Australian super-profit tax worry.

Global mining is now operating at capacity utilization rates of more than 90 percent, resulting in demand for additional capacity and driving prices of mining equipment, Joy Global said on Wednesday.

Over the last three months, Joy Global shares have gained 10 percent in value and Bucyrus shares 7 percent, outperforming the broader Dow Jones US Industrials index .DJUSIN, which has shed 4 percent.

While Joy Global and Bucyrus have enjoyed market dominance for years, they might see increased competition with earth-moving equipment giant Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) set to launch a line of mining shovels. [ID:nN01118847]

For 2010, Milwaukee-based Joy Global now expects earnings of $4.10-$4.15 a share, up from $3.85-$4.00 a share earlier. It also narrowed full-year revenue forecast to $3.35-$3.4 billion, from $3.3-$3.4 billion.

The company said new orders more than doubled to $973 million for the third quarter ended July 30.

Backlog increased to $1.8 billion at the end of the quarter from $1.5 billion as of Oct. 30, 2009.

The company maintained its operating profit margin at 20 percent, helped by cost controls. (Reporting by Bijoy Koyitty in Bangalore; Editing by Unnikrishnan Nair, Anne Pallivathuckal)
