Aerospace/defense industry

Article Abstract:

The aerospace and defense industries will have a $50-billion sales company with the proposed merger of McDonnell Douglas Corp and Boeing Co, and more mergers are expected in the future. Jetliner orders have increased since 1990, and the need for new jetliners should remain high. However, the end of the Cold War will put pressure on the defense budget. Individual stocks need to be evaluated before investors make purchase commitments.

Article Abstract:

Congress is seeking to add $10 bil. to $12 bil. to the proposed fiscal 1997 defense budget, although President Bill Clinton may veto it. McDonnell Douglas Corp and Lockheed Martin Corp are benefitting from the need for military cargo planes. Large aircraft production and expansion are being considered by both Boeing Co and McDonnell Douglas in the commercial sector. Investors must concentrate on timely stocks in 1996 for selection.

Aerospace/defense industry

Article Abstract:

The defense-aerospace industry boosted earnings 25% between 1992 and 1994 through aggressive cost cutting, despite sluggish sales of 2%. But these gains will level off if government contracting activity does not pick up. Investors are advised to concentrate on companies that rank 1 and 2 for timeliness, particularly those with a strong commercial airline orientation since demand in this segment will accelerate by 1998.
