Home appliance industry
Article Abstract:
Competition at the low end of the US home appliance market is making price increases difficult for manufacturers in spite of encouraging economic news. However, price increases are being put into effect for higher-end goods. The European market is weak for appliance makers in 1996, due to a sluggish economy, and lower earnings are expected from this area. Both Asia and Europe provide future growth markets, and investors must concentrate on global companies.

Home appliance industry
Article Abstract:
The slowing North American economy and competition in the European market has weakened the home appliance industry. Major appliance sales in the US will decrease 3% to 5% in 1995 from 1994, mainly due to fewer new homes, Mexican currency problems, and the economy. The competitive appliance market in Europe has narrowed market share and margins. With exceptions, such as Black & Decker, these stocks are not recommended.

Article Abstract:
The home appliance industry stock situation should be good throughout the rest of the 1990s decade but stocks may not do well during 1997. There should be strong gains during 4th qtr 1996 for the US as US consumers remain aware of strong US economic conditions. Those companies that can adapt quickly to changing market conditions should prove to be wise investments.
