German term or phrase: frühzyklisch

The German text refers to different industries as being "spätzyklisch" and "frühzyklisch", i.e. one industry is spätzyklisch, while the other frühzyklisch.
I found the definition "lagging" fpr spätzyklisch,
but I'm not sure how to express the meaning of "frühzyklisch" maybe something along the lines of "ahead of cyclical fluctuations"
I would certainly appreciate your suggestions
