Chemical (specialty)
Article Abstract:
Only a handful of the diverse specialty chemical industry companies are expected to be of value to investors from 1997 through the end of the century and will offer few attractions other than that they will have stable earnings and will probably outperform basic chemical companies. Best expectations are that 1996 marked the end of rising raw material costs and that the current economic cycle is reaching a point generally favorable for specialty chemical stock margin expansion.

Chemical (specialty)
Article Abstract:
Gross margins for specialty chemical companies may contract during economic expansion when they are unable to pass on costs of materials to customers. Specialty chemical prices are increasing in 1996, even though they are under their early-1995 peaks, and several firms are diversifying overseas as a way to avoid this cycle. Investors must be discerning when evaluating these stocks as few of them are timely for 1996.
