Hain Celestial (HAIN)

The natural and organic food industry including Hain Celestial (<a href=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/hain>HAIN</a>) is facing the brunt of the economic slowdown and escalating costs. The ongoing turmoil and the battered financial market are exerting pressure on consumer disposable incomes, triggering a shift in focus from higher priced organic products to cheaper private label brands. <p> Consequently, retailers and distributors are being compelled to reduce inventories, thus exerting pressure on the company&#39;s sales growth. Furthermore, a strong U.S. dollar continues to moderate results, adversely impacting the top-line. <p> In the most recent quarter, earnings were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate, and were down 17.6% year over year. We recently lowered our recommendation to Underperform.

China Fire & Security (CFSG)

China Fire & Security Group (<a href=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/cfsg>CFSG</a>) is a leading provider of industrial fire protection systems in China. The company&#39;s strong position in the industry has enabled it to win a high percentage of its bids, which is around 60-70% of bids in the iron and steel industry. <p> Though the company has been primarily serving the iron and steel industry, it is now looking at expanding into other industrial sectors such as transportation, marines, nuclear energy and petrochemical. China&#39;s industrial fire protection market is expected to grow 11% annually until 2011. <p> As a leading player in the market, we believe CFSG is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth potential. We are upgrading our rating on the stock from Neutral to Outperform.
