Blue Circle sees enthusiasm fade after projection

Article Abstract:

Blue Circle Industries PLC's plans to sell off its heating division began to deteriorate following the company's statement that its subsidiaries in Malaysia and Chile would post lower-than-expected financial performance for 1999. However, Blue Circle does have strong prospects for the long-term since markets in Asia have begun to stabilize. The company is concentrating entirely on heavy building materials.
