Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
The specialty retail industry performed poorly during the 1990s, with high inventory levels and low consumer spending. Industry prospects are good for 1996 compared to 1995, however, with 2.8% gross domestic product growth in the 1st qtr and 2.5% to 3% growth forecast for the remainder of 1996. The high-end retail segment with affluent customers is expected to outperform th market. Investors must evaluate individual stocks before investing.

Retail (special lines) industry
Article Abstract:
Same-store sales in the special lines retail industry slowed in Jun and Jul of 1996, due to lower consumer spending, calendar shifts, and the weather. Television broadcasting of the Olympics in late July also affected sales, as well. Companies in this industry are expected to refocus efforts after the 1996 holiday season, and several retailers are forecast to expand. Investors should seek stocks with turnaround, value, or growth potential.
