Auto parts (original equipment)

Article Abstract:

More efficient manufacturing, fewer employees, and lower raw material prices will help auto parts makers achieve better earnings in 1996, especially in the 3rd and 4th qtrs. The General Motors, Dayton, OH, strike settlement kept the status quo, with only 30% of parts being purchased from outside suppliers, as opposed to 50% by its competitors. Long-term prospects for these stocks are good, but investors should wait for improved earnings.
