Semiconductor (capital equipment)
Article Abstract:
The semiconductor capital equipment industry has not yet recovered from the downturn it suffered in 1996, due to the slowing of capital spending and the worldwide oversupply of microchips. However, the prospects for the companies in this industry remain strong in the long term in spite of problems current in 1997, and many are good acquisition targets. Investors will find valuable individual stocks in this industry, but several are risky for some accounts.

Semiconductor (capital equipment)
Article Abstract:
Earnings for the semiconductor (capital equipment) industry during the 2nd qtr of 1998 were below estimates and the 3rd qtr of 1998 may poor as well due to low billings by manufacturers. The Asian and Pacific Rim region is expected to be the focal point of the industry's turnaround in future years as 50% of the sector's revenues are generated there. These stocks are not timely in 1998, but several have potential for the years 2001-2003.
