What to expect in the reporting season

ANALYSTS believe the August full-year profit reporting season will mark the low point of the earnings rout, suggesting now could be the right time to start looking at cyclical stocks again. As companies prepare for what is tipped to be the worst reporting season in 20 years, most equity strategist are forecasting that earnings will hold up in fiscal 2010. For the 1510 listed companies with a June 30 balance date -- 72 per cent of all the companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange -- reporting season has already begun and will conclude on August 28. Almost all of the companies will post their full-year reports during August.
