edit Continued business for Harsco

Top Contributor: Charles Colon | Created when HSC was $65.30 | Edit | History

While trouble in the U.S. housing market has led to lower residential construction levels, the non-residential and commercial construction industries have been remarkably resilient. In 2008, commercial construction is expected to continue this success and grow 1.1%, contributing to a total expected growth in non-residential construction of 2.9%.[1] Internationally, non-residential construction rates are also very high. This activity translates to continued business for Harsco.

edit Company's services relatively cheaper due to the falling dollar

Top Contributor: Charles Colon | Created when HSC was $65.30 | Edit | History

The dollar continues to be valued at record-low levels compared to the euro and other world currencies. This should work to encourage international business for Harsco as the company's services are relatively cheaper.
