Building materials industry
Article Abstract:
The building materials industry as an entity presents an attractive picture for investors as analysts rate it higher than most industrial market averages and predict that 1997 earnings will continue the pace set in 1996. he industry will benefit from new housing starts but is no longer dependant on construction, having branched off to work directly with the less variable repair and remodeling business. Investors, however, should consider the records of individual companies, especially those with low stock valuations.

Building materials industry
Article Abstract:
Housing starts in 1996 were approximately 7% above 1995 and with pent-up housing demand exhausted, housing starts are expected to decrease 7% in 1997. An even performance by financial markets and the US economy in 1997 should result in an excellent economic performance by the building materials industry. The building materials industry is expected to outpace market averages during 1997.
