Earnings season is like a company's own reality TV show.
It’s when companies release their earnings reports, which are like their report cards. Some report twice a year while others report up quarterly. Investors, analysts, and the media all tune in to see how they did. Just like on reality TV, there's always the potential for some drama. Will the company beat expectations? Will they miss? What will they say about the future?
Of course, earnings season isn't all about the drama. It's also a chance for investors to get a glimpse into how a company is doing. Are they growing? Are they profitable? Are they facing any challenges? The information that companies release during earnings season can be a valuable tool for investors who are trying to make informed decisions about their portfolios.
You can find the company's financial report cards in their annual financial statements, during their annual general meeting (AGM), on their company website, or in financial publications that follow these updates. You can also check the stock exchange's news service for more information about the results.
So when earnings season rolls around, don't just think of it as a boring financial event. Think of it as a chance to watch some corporate reality TV and learn a thing or two about the companies you're invested in.
