NationsBanc Growth Stocks Strategist Likes Year 2000 Cos.
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Michael Moe, of NationsBanc Montgomery Securities Inc., said he expects impressive earnings increases from some of America's fastest-growing companies in 1998, despite shaky worldwide markets.
Moe, growth-stocks strategist for NationsBanc, also named sectors he finds particularly attractive.
He said in an interview on CNBC Monday that Year 2000 companies will do well as corporations spend millions to solve computer problems at the turn of the century. He also thinks some Year 2000 companies, including Peoplesoft Inc. (PSFT), Oracle Corp. (ORCL) and Pegasystems Inc. (PEGA), have good prospects for growth after the computer problems are solved.
Moe also said he thinks Internet-commerce companies will grow quickly as the number of Internet users increases by 25% in the next two years.
He cited E*Trade Group Inc. (EGRP), Onsale Inc. (ONSL) and Cendant Corp. (CD) as attractive buys in the sector.
