Building your own boom takes care in Hong Kong

Article Abstract:

Stock analysts are urging investors in Hong Kong Stock Exchange construction stocks to put their money into Paul Y.-ITC Construction Holdings and Hsin Chong Construction Group stocks. They believe that both firms are in a better position to take advantage of the building boom being experienced by Hong Kong, compared to the 18 other stocks listed in the exchange. They expect construction profits to reach their highest levels in 1997-98, the time when the colony's new airport is expected to be completed.
