Four weeks into the new decade, the S&P/ASX 200 index has risen an impressive 4.98 per cent. But this strong result masks the undercurrent of uncertainty.
The unknowns of the coronavirus have revived global economic fears and the cost of Australia's relentless drought and bushfire season is tipped to stretch far beyond the tourism industry. Meanwhile, interest rates are expected to stay at record lows ahead of the Reserve Bank's first 2020 meeting tomorrow.
In all, it's shaping up to be a revealing reporting season. All eyes will be on outlook statements.
Over the next month, investors have an opportunity to look under the hood of ASX, review their portfolios and search for bargains. Analysts pore over the results for the second half of 2019, using them to validate prior assumptions and forecast future performance.
With the deluge of information, heavy media coverage and rapid stock price movements, it can be difficult to stay on top of the results. Morningstar has compiled a handy list of more than 150 companies under coverage that will release earnings results during February Reporting Season.
The calendar is sorted by date, with notable results featured at the top. We'll update this list daily with links to Premium research notes from our Morningstar equity analyst team.
