Newspaper industry

Article Abstract:

The newspaper industry had a banner year in 1996 with excellent financial returns, stock prices and cost control and should perform equally well in 1997 except for the uncertainty that newsprint prices may soar and investment may be limited by high stock prices. Best investment possibilities are newspapers that are diversifying into television broadcasting and new technologies. Newspapers with highly volatile stocks are poor 3-5 year holdings for capital appreciation.

Newspaper industry

Article Abstract:

Rising newsprint costs and a tight advertising market are making profit margins difficult to maintain for newspapers. Ad linage for Oct 1995 fell below Oct 1994. Circulation and advertising revenues are rising less than newsprint prices, and newspapers are investing in mills to offset costs. Ad space sales will be major factor on newspaper stocks for the next three to five years, few of which have any current appeal.

Newspaper industry

Article Abstract:

Newspaper publishing stocks have underperformed the market in the 1990s. The advertising base for newspapers is smaller and ad revenues will grow only 7% in 1995. Newsprint prices, which rose 20% to 30% in 1994, could climb 40% in 1995 and increase costs. Electronic newspaper technology will add revenue in the next three to five years, but newspaper stocks will continue to underperform the market in 1995 and 1996.
