Analyst: Printing Safe in Volatile Market

NEW YORK—Printing is often referred to as a mature industry. But it stands to reason that with maturity comes security.

The Associated Press quoted a Longbow research analyst as saying the commercial printing industry may be a safe sector to invest in amid a general market experiencing volatility.

Analyst Piyush Sharma, in a client note, said that commercial printing shipment growth is largely stable, “making the group a strong contender for inclusion in a defensive and moderate-risk portfolio.” He added that the printing industry is “relatively attractive during a lean economic environment,” the AP reported.
