Drug industry
Article Abstract:
Macroeconomic factors and strong earnings allowed 10 large-capitalized drug companies to outperform the market in 1997, gaining about 57%, some soaring 80% or more. Price flexibility and good performance by several of the drug multinationals also helped stock prices. However, expiring drug patents, the Asian financial crisis, and the uncertainty over consolidation should make investors cautious about drug company stocks in the late 1990s.
