While global players are getting ever-bigger boosts from their operations in fast-growing economies like China and Brazil, companies dependent on the U.S. market are hemmed in by recession-scarred consumers who are hesitant to spend.
Among the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the 10 that get the largest share of their sales abroad are expected to see revenues grow by an average of 8.3% over the next year.
By contract the 10 that do the least business outside the U.S. are likely to show average revenue gains of just 1.6%
For example, Atlanta-based Coca Cola Co. has operated internationally since the 1920s, and now garners about three quarters of its sales overseas.
This two track trend is likely to continue.
