Computer and peripherals industry

Article Abstract:

Computer markets in Europe and the US are not expected to grow until the 4th qtr of 1996, although the US economy is growing at an annual rate of 2.5% to 3% in 1996. However, strong demand for servers, among other factors, will allow the computer and peripherals industry to achieve good 1996 earnings. Stocks in the computer industry underperformed the market in 1996, but investors will find many with good price potential for 1999-2001.

Computer and peripherals industry

Article Abstract:

The computer and computer peripherals industries had a relatively good year in 1998 according to industry reports. Prospects for these sectors are likely to remain good not only in 1999 but in the early years of the next century, as well, with high demand for their products in the US and abroad. These stocks will outperform the market in 1999, but are not likely to appreciate over the next three to five years.
