Electrical equipment industry
Article Abstract:
The electrical equipment industry has benefitted from the current trend of all industries to cut costs by providing them with industrial automation equipment, products that reduce energy and environmental management costs, and outsourcing services. However, the US electrical equipment market has matured and international expansion offers both opportunities and drawbacks. Because of the diversity of products produced by the industry, investments should be based on individual company performance rather than on the industry as an entity.

Electrical equipment industry
Article Abstract:
Stocks in the electrical equipment industry underperformed the market during the 4th qtr of 1998, due to the uncertain economic situation in Asia and other factors. The achievement of earnings improvements through operational efficiency has been driven by industry maturity in Europe and the US, and research and development expenditures have grown during the 1990s, as well. These stocks are not timely in 1999 and investors should seek opportunities in other industries.

Article Abstract:
The automotive and housing market segments of the electrical equipment industry have improved in 1996 over 1995, although the US industrial markets have slowed. Infrastructure needs are helping Asia become a fast growing market, and industry performance is improved by acquisitions, productivity, and cost-cutting. However, these stocks are not attractive in 1996, although some are well-ranked for timeliness and have potential for 1999-2001.
