Metal fabricating industry
Article Abstract:
The US economy has become uneven in 1998 with growth accelerating in some industries and slowing in others, and metal fabricating may be affected due to its cyclical nature. However, suppliers to the aircraft, truck, and auto industries will see good demand in 1998, although it is difficult to assess the markets beyond this. There are several growth stocks in this industry, but investors need to be selective in their commitments.

Metal fabricating industry
Article Abstract:
Companies in the metal fabricating business are expected to grow moderately in the last quarter of 1997 and early 1998. This cyclical industry has a timeliness rating slightly above the median, as growing orders in the aerospace industry bring contracts for parts. Global expansion should help strengthen the metal fabricators as economic conditions change in each country.
