Tire & rubber industry
Article Abstract:
Market conditions and economic advancement for both the tire industry and the rubber industry appears to be good for 1997 through 2002 but Timeliness ratings for investments will be Average or Below Average. Increased foreign trade, mergers and annexations, cost reductions and competitive pricing will improve market conditions for both industries but the consistency of these situations is questionable. Investment in these industries, as a whole, is not recommended, although a few individual companies offer some good prospects.

Tire & rubber industry
Article Abstract:
Profits for tire and rubber companies shrunk in 1st qtr 1995, due to rising material costs. Revenues and earnings should recover during the remainder of 1995 and 1996 with industry price increases and product demand. The weakened US dollar and improved business conditions in Europe have made foreign operations profitable. Cooper Tire and Carlisle are attractive investments for the next three to five years.
