Article Abstract:
The global semiconductor trade agreement with Japan is due to expire in Jul 1996. US manufacturers are not as willing to agree to the expiration as other countries because foreign trade only represents a mere 23% of Japan's semiconductor market. New products in consumer electronics and personal computers are providing a growing Asian market and there is a new digital video disk standard. These stocks, however, are not recommended for investment in 1995.

Article Abstract:
Japanese consumer electronics have been easier to sell overseas, with the falling yen leading to increased profits. Demand for memory chips and semiconductors has increased with the boom in personal electronic devices, as well. One of the more promising consumer electronic formats is the digital video disk, also. Prospects for European companies are more mixed, however. These stocks must be individually selected for investment.

Article Abstract:
Foreign semiconductor companies are profiting from strong computer chip demand and increased market share. Consumer electronic sales and earnings, however, have decreased. PolyGram and Philips have become the European leaders in both consumer and semiconductor sectors, but the strong yen is making profits for Japanese companies difficult. PolyGram and Philips stocks will outperform the market for the next three to five years.
