Telecom Industry Analysis, Research & Ratios ► (edit / improve)
Industry Analysis evaluates the major industry characteristics that affect investments. Company specific factors drive the performance of individual companies, but macro-economic factors can affect the performance, stock prices, growth rates, and chart movements of any stock, currency, or commodity. All stock traders should review industry research before trading.
| Description: The telecom industry includes companies who help transmit information for the purposes of communication (see full telecom description: competitors, industry ratios, best stocks, market leaders, aggregate SWOT Analysis, and streaming industry news).
Profit Analysis: The best way to profit from telecom stock investments is to find the most undervalued investments (Wall Street and Main Street buy ratings) during economic recessions. Those investments should be undervalued (see Wall Street on left side), and have high Main Street Common Sense investment ratings (see Main Street on right side). When an economic recovery occurs, telecom stocks tend to outperform the general stock market, because consumers and businesses quickly resume spending on items they wanted, but resisted buying during tougher economic times. Eventually those investments become overvalued, because profits and stock prices increase past their fair values. During the last stages of an economic business cycle, just before a recession, it is best to sell telecom stocks, because they are likely to decrease in price quickly. Telecom makes the lives of consumers and businesses easier, but during tough economic times, people tend to choose alternative means to communicate, which offsets the benefits of telecom investments temporarily. Expensive (overvalued) stocks with low Main Street Common Sense ratings should be sold at any time to invest in better stocks. Two buys ratings are the best and two sell ratings are the worst possible stock investments. Trading Strategy: During economic recessions, consumers and businesses tend to cut back on telecom expenses to save money during tough economic times. Less spending decreases business revenue and eventually decreases stock prices. During economic recoveries, consumers have more income and business investment needs, so spending quickly increases. Higher spending increases business revenue and eventually increases stock prices. During a longer economic expansion, discretionary income and business demand increases, but at a slower pace than during the recovery stage.
