Computer and peripherals industry

Article Abstract:

The computer industry as a whole did very well in 1994, with sales of personal computers leading the way. Earnings growth is expected to continue into 1995, and even to the end of the decade for some companies. Sales to the home market were particularly high in 1994, although sales momentum is expected to taper off as the market becomes saturated. The industry is ranked second out of 96 for timeliness, and many of the group's shares are expected to outperform the rest of the industry during 1995. Caution is advised for conservative investors, however, due to the industry's historic volatility.

Computer and peripherals industry

Article Abstract:

The computer and peripherals industry is expected to benefit from the current domestic economic recovery. Pressure on profit margins from overcapacity and intense competition, however, is expected continue for the short term. This industry group is not considered timely and is expected to perform poorly during 1994. Computer and peripheral companies are expected to experience sharply increased earnings performances from 1996 to 1998.
