Paper & forest products industry
Article Abstract:
Paper and forest products industry economic conditions have been extremely volatile in 1996 and analysts are predicting that they will continue to remain so in 1997 except for a few companies who will offer some comparatively high yields on their securities. Despite a boom in the construction industry, lumber prices have dropped approximately 15% since September, 1996. In the paper industry, only Mosinee Paper Corp. is expected to show a satisfactory performance for 1996.

Paper & forest products industry
Article Abstract:
Prices are declining in the paper, pulp, paper and paperboard industries as manufacturers attempt to maintain market share. Capacity for both paper and paperboard is expected to increase by 2.5% per year through 1998, with paperboard rising the greatest. Earnings will increase for lumber companies with fewer Canadian imports. Investors must be cautious when selecting these stocks, although the industry is timely in 1996.
