Chemical/diversified industry

Article Abstract:

Chemical industry earnings for 1994 and 1995 are currently strong, but as US economic growth slows earnings will decrease. Fertilizer and ammonia prices are still high, due to demand, but these sectors are not attractive for the long term. Investors need to be aware of the industry's cyclical nature before evaluating which stocks to buy, but many currently offer strong investment potential. Stocks to watch include IMC Global, Terra Industries and First Mississippi.

Chemical/diversified industry

Article Abstract:

Economic softness and adverse weather negatively affected the diversified chemical industry in the 1st qtr of 1996, with a 0.6% sales decline in January followed by a 1% decline in February. However, cost-cutting and other measures will help margins in the future. Fertilizer demand will also remain strong with greater US feed grain plantings. Several stocks in this industry are appropriate for timeliness, dividends, or long-term potential.

Chemical/diversified industry

Article Abstract:

Earnings and stock prices in the diversified chemical industry have outperformed the market since mid-1993. Cost reductions and worldwide economic growth have been the major factors. Revenues and earnings are expected to improve through 1995, but at a slower pace. Investors will find several timely stocks in this group and many are expected to see long-term price appreciation in the year ahead.
