4 useful resources to give you an edge in reporting season

'Tis the season where the rubber meets the road, and we all get to find out which corporations have been performing and which have not. 

To help you navigate the season accordingly, I've highlighted four useful resources available on Livewire and Market Index to give you an edge.

#2 The Reporting Season Calendar

If you were going to confine your interest in reporting season to just a few days, it would be the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of week 3. 

This is when the bulk of ASX companies report, with the Thursday being known as 'Super Thursday' given the deluge of results. 

Some other key dates to look out for are highlighted below (please note some dates are estimates):

• Monday 12 Feb: CAR, JBH

• Tuesday 13 Feb: CSL, JHX, MQG, SEK

• Wednesday 14 Feb: CBA, CPU

• Thursday 15 Feb: GMG, ORG, S32, TLS, WES

• Friday 16 Feb: IAG, QBE

• Monday 19 Feb: COH, WBC

• Tuesday 20 Feb: BHP, SHL

• Wednesday 21 Feb: NAB, STO, WOW, WTC

• Thursday 22 Feb: FLT, FMG, MIN, QAN 

• Friday 23 Feb: PDN

Of course, you can find a comprehensive guide to all the key dates via the Market Index reporting season calendar, available here.

#3 Learn from other investors via our Reporting Season Survey

We're running a 4-minute investor survey as we head into the busy period of reporting season and all participants will get sent a summary of the results giving you access to the insights of other investors. 

• Which companies do you think will beat or miss expectations? 

• Which sectors are likely to present the best opportunities?
