Household products industry
Article Abstract:
The integration of acquired companies and the restructuring of operations for the next century are two of the challenges that the household and consumer products industry faces in 1999. Some of the higher priced stocks in this industry have lost value due to recent interest rate rises and conservative investors may find opportunities here. Good revenues and financial strength could make several of these stocks attractive if interest rates increase, but few have potential for the next three to five years.
