372 Facts: AVX Corporation manufactures capacitors for electronic products. Tantalum is an elemental metal, as rare in nature as uranium, used in the manufacture of those products. In January, 2001, AVX entered into a multi-year supply contract with Cabot Corporation, a major supplier of tantalum powder and wire. In the years immediately preceding the contract, the tantalum market favored buyers and AVX purchased it from Cabot at preferable prices without entering binding, long-term contracts. When demand for capacitors and the tantalum used in their manufacture increased dramatically in late 2000, Cabot took advantage of what was then a seller's market to negotiate aggressively a multi-year deal.
CVS moved quickly to become one of the top players in the rapidly consolidating U.S. drugstore industry. In addition to pursuing acquisitions, CVS also was growing organically by aggressively opening new locations. In 1998, for example, the company announced plans to open as many as 200 stores in New York City over a three-year period. At the same time, some of the older locations, particularly those in strip malls, were being closed down in favor of freestanding sites, some of which began featuring drive-through pharmacies. CVS has grown its business into the largest retail pharmacy in the world through strong organic growth and a tradition of acquisitions.
Merck Financial Review Today Merck is a conglomerate of Merck and Schering-Plough that merged in November 2009, which is at the present time the second-largest health care company in the world and a global leader in consumer products and animal care (Merck, 2012). Merck has a financial improvement over the past year. The increase can be attributed to growth of many medications produced, such as Singulair, a medicine for the chronic treatment of asthma and the relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and Gardasil, a vaccine to help prevent certain diseases caused by four types of human papillomavirus (“HPV”). However, this increase was offset because of negative trends in other human and animal medications, such as Cozaar and Hyzaar, treatments for hypertension as well as the loss of marketing rights to three medications, Caelyx, Subutex, and Suboxone. Medicaid rebates recently implemented by the U.S. healthcare reform also made a negative impact on revenues (Merck, 2012).
