Build it and they will come -- if you've got enough cement for all those new buildings going up in the developing world. The French company Lafarge has been investing heavily to increase capacity in China and India.

With Asia representing just 10% of sales in 2005, that expansion won't be enough to stop sales growth at Lafarge from slowing from 14.9% in the first half of 2006 to 5.2% in the second half of the year, thanks to the slowdown in the U.S. housing market, according to projections by investment bank Natexis Bleichroeder.

But the company's cost-cutting efforts look successful enough -- with projected margins set to increase to 21.7% in 2006 and 22% in 2007 from 20.8% in 2005 -- that Natexis Bleichroeder projects a 10% increase in profit for the company in 2007.
