Back to the future
Article Abstract:
The electrical equipment and electronics industry offers both high-tech products, and companies with more security and experience than newer dot-com firms. Companies in this sector may wait for a long time while they develop specialist products, and then see a rise in profit and stock price. Stock prices can overreact to news of events such as products launches and mergers. Some companies may focus on technological development, and then license technology. Investors can choose between niche companies, and larger firms that tend to be more established.
