Roxboro
Article Abstract:
Roxboro has seen a drop in its share price of 26% following a warning that demand for its products have dropped. The company's profit for full-year 1996 is forecast at some 16 million pounds sterling, showing little growth compared with the previous year. Other divisions, such as aerospace sensors, are performing well. The company's gearing should be reduced due to strong cash generation. Roxboro may make small acquisitions and could sell its relay unit. The company's profit for 1997 is forecast at 19.5 million pounds sterling by Albert E. Sharp.

Sourcing growth
Article Abstract:
Deltron Electronics, a distributor of electronic components, appears to offer a good medium-term investment opportunity. It has operations in France, Denmark and Sweden, and will achieve less than 50% of its sales in the UK in the year to Sep 1998. It has a strong market niche, and risk is spread by the fact that 60% of its business is distribution and 40% its own-made product. It was negatively affected by the strength of sterling in the year to Sep 1997.
