Publishing industry

Article Abstract:

The maturing of traditional publishing markets, for both periodicals and books, is the significant issue facing the industry in 1996. Industry growth is expected to be only 5% to 6% in 1996, but solid earnings are forecast for the last six months of 1996, due to lower paper prices. Many publishers are also seeking alternative markets, such as on-line services and home video. These stocks are not timely in 1996, but several have investment potential.

Article Abstract:

The traditional markets for publishers have matured, and the 6% increase in revenues during 1995 are considered good earnings. However, the presidential campaign and Summer Olympics will have a positive impact on the industry for the last half of 1996. The new technologies are also allowing many companies to enter electronic publishing. Most stocks in this industry offer little to the investor, although several offer attractive potential.

Article Abstract:

Stocks in the publishing industry have underperformed the market in the 1990s as their traditional markets have become mature and the paper costs have increased. Publishers, especially magazines which rely on advertising, will remain weak in 1996, but several are well-positioned in the electronic publishing area. Most of these stocks are not well-ranked for timeliness in 1996, but several are good investments for 1998-2000.
