Publishing industry

Article Abstract:

Earnings for the publishing industry have outperformed the economy in 1995, and this is expected to continue through 1996. Publishers of textbooks and educational materials will be leaders, although increased costs will offset profit margins. Acquisitions and strategic alliances in the next several years are needed for growth in maturing markets. Publishing is not a timely industry, but investors may find some worthwhile stocks.

Article Abstract:

Publishing is a mature industry and growth has become more difficult. Expected revenue growth for 1996 is 6%, which is below 1995. The textbook market is expected to weaken, and postage and paper costs are also putting pressure on margins. New markets, alliances, and acquisitions will enhance operations in the next three to five years. Several stocks are worthwhile investments, although this is not a timely industry.

Article Abstract:

Stocks in publishing and printing experienced a poor year in 1994, and 1995 is not expected to see improvement even though several magazine and text-book publishers should do well. The increasing price of paper and reduced volume forecast a poor year for financial printing. Few of the stocks in this group are expected to do well in the next 12 months, although many will offer investors long-term growth opportunity.
