Margins in the container and packaging industry are under pressure from higher raw materials prices, especially for aluminum and and paper. There is also less demand for consumer food and industrial cans, and this is having an effect on earnings. The industry has matured and consolidation is expected to increase, due to economic necessity. These stocks are not timely for 1996, but several may have earnings potential in the future.

Article Abstract:
Stabilizing raw materials prices should benefit the packaging and container industry. Share prices have increased but early 1996 is not a good time to invest in these stocks except for long-term values. Raw material pricing changes should increase the earnings within the industry and foreign markets may also beckon with potential sales.
