Paper & forest products industry

Article Abstract:

The majority of segments within the paper and forest products industries are poised for moderate growth throughout the second half of 1997, but even slight disruptions to the U.S. economy can negatively impact these companies. The increasing demand for newsprint paper grade has driven profits up in that region of the market, but other market sectors remain depressed and susceptible to change. Sales of wood products have been buoyed by continued strong housing starts rates.

Paper & forest products industry

Article Abstract:

The paper and forest products industry reported good financial results in 1997 partly due to increased prices for newsprint and rising orders for coated papers. However, supplies of paper and wood products are expected to exceed demand in 1998, especially in the international market. The paper and forest products industries are vulnerable to economic trends, and investors should consider whether they are willing to accept possible risks.

Paper & forest products industry

Article Abstract:

Paper and forest product stocks are not good investments during early 1997. These stocks have not performed well and an earnings increase did not happen during the latter half of 1996 because price increases did not take place. Investors should selectively choose any stocks within these industries because earnings improvements are not guaranteed.
