Aluminum Industry Prospects At Present In A Holding Position The year 1979 was an excellent one for the aluminum industry, with the four major North American producers Alcan Aluminum, Aluminum Company of America, Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical, and Reynolds Metals showing fine sales and earnings. LN THE last quarter, it was obvious that a slowdown was taking place, owing largely to the decline in the automotive and construction fields. Still, the momentum that built up in the first three quarters of 1979 was enough to assure the companies peak profits for the full year. REFLECTING these good gains, all of the firms hiked their dividends during 1979. This year, what with less favorable economic conditions, aluminum shipments will likely slip below the record levels seen in 1979. the inFURTHERMORE, dustry is confronted with sharply increased energy costs, a probable slackening in domestic product demand (especially from the automobile and construction fields), and the anticipated substantially higher labor costs as a result of the expiration of labor contracts next month (May 31). On the positive side, the top producers have all recently increased prices again to counteract the rising costs. Layton boys staters t Love, Tom Watson and Eric A. Bryant.

Recently appointed Governors Minority Committee includes William Thome Jr., left, Paul Boggs of Clearfield; Phil Prawl, lne Apitz, Michael Martinez, William Espinoza, Governor Scott M. Matheson and Peter Cooke. ALSO, productivity within the industry has been improved, energy conservation has been stressed, and demand from aerospace, container, and electrical markets should hold up quite well this year. Although the domestic aluminum industry is not by any means experiencing a boom, the same is not true tor overseas demand. Foreign buyers were recently paying more than 90 cents a pound for aluminum ingot compared with the 9 cents they were paying six months earlier. AS A result, U.S. aluminum ingot exports have risen sharply. In this country, of course, major producers are con- strained by government guidelines so our aluminum price remains far below the price overseas. The domestic price of primary ingot, however, was recently raised by six cents, to 72 cents a pound. THE LARGE amounts of aluminum being exported have served to tighten domestic aluminum supplies even though demand in the U.S. has slipped because of the uneasy eco nomy. This is a situation which may well continue over the near term. It is expected that in the fu- ture the aluminum industry will grow at a more rapid rate than the overall economy, even though there will be temporary downturns of the sort we look for this vear. ALUMINUM Company of America, the nations largest in the field, believes that aluminum demand will advance by five percent a year in the 1980s. If so, it will far outpace available supplies in the U.S. and abroad. IN VIEW of this tight supply outlook, Alcoa is planning to add substantial productive capacity in the U.S. and overseas. One of the standouts in the aluminum picture is the allaluminum can, which has been making broad inroads into the beverage can market, espe cially beer cans. IT IS estimated that aluminum cans have now captured 60 percent of this market, up from only 18 percent as recently as 1969. By 1985, another eight percent gain is anticipated. The reason for the eAtellent consumer acceptance of the aluminum can is. its light weight, plus the fact that it does not rust, chills very rapidly, and protects and the taste quality of the beverage. BECAUSE OF the favorable prospects for the aluminum industry and the reasonable prices at which the foremost aluminum stocks are selling the Research Department of Babsons Reports is maintaining hold positions on Alcan, Alcoa, Kaiser, and Reynolds. For the moment, however, purchases are no being long-ter- |
