Article Abstract:
There will be good earnings for supermarket chains in 1995, due mainly to cost reduction. Competition will increase, however, with the addition of more stores. Product mix, especially with private-label brands, may help improve profit margins, but low inflation is keeping top-line growth low. Several of these shares are risky, but chains with strong growth may appeal to investors for the next three to five years.
