Household products industry
Article Abstract:
Stocks in the household products industry are not timely in 1996, due to the defensive traits of the industry's profits in a strong economy. Revenue and earnings have only been mediocre since 1992, also. Mass merchandisers have become larger and more sophisticated in their inventory management, and small manufacturers must change to survive. Further industry consolidation is anticipated, along with internal structural transition.

Household products industry
Article Abstract:
Stocks in the household products industry are no longer as defensive as they once were, and have a low timeliness ranking for 1996. Computer-based inventory models are now widely used by retailers and product inventories are not as highly stocked as before, and consumers are not spending at previous levels due to personal cost-cutting. Investors should consider these stocks only on an individual basis.
