British Steel
Article Abstract:
British Steel is likely to face a drop in demand for the half year from Sep 1995. The company is unlikely to be able to raise prices prior to Mar 1996. A dividend increase has pushed up British Steel's share price. The company's profit is forecast at 1.09 billion pounds sterling for full-year 1995-1996 by Panmure Gordon. A new steel plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will be on-line from 1996, though the industry's cycle could have reached its peak by then.
