Pill scare pumps up LIG's prospects

Article Abstract:

London International (LIG) should benefit from concern over the safety of contraceptive pills in the UK. The company holds a 20% stake in the world condom market with Durex, its leading brand, and LIG ranks first among condom manufacturers world wide. The company has also seen a rise in profit from its surgical gloves division. LIG has experiences difficult times, but has sold non-core activities and is focusing on gloves and condoms. The company's margins have increased, and LIG shares are recommended for investors in Nov 1995.

Sentiment cools but India's prospects are good

Article Abstract:

Foreign investors have lost some of their initial enthusiasm for India, but it continues to perform better than most other emerging markets. It is likely to continue to fall in the short term, but this will create some advantages for fund managers, who will be able to benefit from more undervalued shares and have time to build up a promising portfolio. One of the main influencing factors in the near future will be the state elections in Feb 1995, in which the ruling Congress party is expected to do badly.
