TITLE Companies In The Leading Industry #m#gm#m#Vehicle Parts
Group Drops Out of Favor The Auto/Truck - Original Equipment
group has drifted lower for the past six months, following a
sharp run-up early this year that had been premised on a surge in
auto sales expected as a result of a powerful economic recovery.
Still, the 35-stock group has retained most of its increase from
early this year and can claim a 24% gain for 1992.  Kysor Indus-
trial Corp. is one of the few stocks in the group that has
managed to continue climbing despite the recovery's anemic pace.
It has gained more than 140% since Jan. 1 on a turnaround in
earnings.  Cadillac, Mich.-based Kysor makes heavy-duty vehicle
and marine components as well as refrigerated display cases. The
company is expected to post a profit of $1.35 a share this year,
compared with a 35-cent deficit in 1991.  Superior Industries
International Inc. has managed to hang on to a 60% gain for the
year, despite a five-month slump. The stock had been a strong
performer, more than tripling from less than 8 in January 1991
until it peaked in May at 301/2. Superior, whose chief product is
aluminum car wheels, has had a deceleration in its earnings
growth for the past three quarters.
