Natural gas (diversified) industry

Article Abstract:

Natural gas prices in 1997 have fallen short of the excellent prices obtained during the same quarters in 1996. This trend is expected to continue throughout 1997. Despite lagging natural gas prices, the Henri Hub prices are solid. Improved production and cost cutting measures have helped many companies post strong profit gains during the 1st qtr 1997. Deregulation and consolidation trends in this industry are expected to help it improve and change.

Natural gas (diversified) industry

Article Abstract:

Diversified natural gas industry securities are expected to record performances in 1997 that will be very similar to their average performance in 1996 which will not excite most investors. However, some companies show good prospects for growth in a 3-5 year period and offer good total returns to long-term investors. Mergers, cold weather and low inventories are expected to increase natural gas prices and corporate profits in 1997.

Natural gas (diversified) industry

Article Abstract:

Prices for natural gas have sharply decreased from their highs during the winter of 1995-1996. Cooler-than-normal summer weather in the Midwest and Northeast during 1996 has also adversely affected gas prices, along with ample supplies. Competition within the gas industry has increased with the onset of deregulation. Several of these stocks are timely for 1996 and some have favorable potential for 1999 to 2001.
