Diversified company industry
Article Abstract:
Current U.S. economic conditions and uncertainty about the country's immediate economic future, coupled with a prevailing belief that another recession is not likely to occur soon, has increased investor interest in conglomerate corporations. Conglomerate corporations as an investment offer an equal number of advantages, such as low prices, and possible perils, such as cost cutting and asset shuffling. Studies of individual companies can provide better investment guidance than reviewing conglomerate corporations as an entity.

Diversified company industry
Article Abstract:
Stocks in conglomerate companies outperform the market in times of economic uncertainty, since they are less cyclical and defensive than non-diversified corporations. Many conglomerates have restructured and cut costs during the mid-1990s, but whether these are variable or fixed costs is difficult to evaluate. Investors must consider operating changes and how cost cutting is affecting production before committing funds to these stocks.
