Industrial Goods' Diversity Dispels Recession Maelstrom

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:18:01 EDT

www.rothmanresearch.com --With the global economy experiencing a deep and rapid transformation impact, companies across the globe in general industrial sector companies are re-engineering their business models. From chemicals and aerospace through to transport and engineering, businesses are finding new paths to competitive advantage in a world where trade is increasingly international and success belongs to fit and lean operators with distinct market positions. The declining price, scarcity of financial buyers and valuations for industrial companies has sank significantly but shows tremendous opportunities for strategic buyers with strong balance sheets. The large-cap, blue-chip, bellwether companies or industrial companies that have amassed strong balance sheets over the past few years will be the first to turn around when the rest of the economy does. "Historically, there is a lag between the rebound of the larger companies within a sector and the small to mid cap entities in the same space," says Mathew Collier, head analyst at http://www.rothmanresearch.com
