UK general industrials
Article Abstract:
UK manufacturing shares tended to perform poorly in 1995 due to earnings downgrades. Earnings growth looks set to improve in 1996 and the shares could perform better. There could still be share price falls prior to Mar 1996 as more downgrades are announced, since the impact of events in 1995 has yet to become apparent. Share prices for cyclical industrial companies also tend to rise initially then fall over the year, and this could affect timing of share price changes in 1996.

The answer lies in the stocks
Article Abstract:
Stock building can have a major impact on output especially when changes occur in business cycles. The performance of the UK economy in 1996 will be affected by the extent to which output may be reduced as companies seek to cut stock levels. Surveys report a build-up of excess stocks but this may be short-term, and may affect manufacturers rather than wholesalers and retailers in terms of duration. Import growth should be slowed if de-stocking occurs.
