As August reporting season draws to a close, we saw plenty of big results move the markets this week. Supermarket giant Woolworths (ASX:WOW) tumbled over 10% on weak profit and margin pressure, facing pressure from its major competitor Coles. In contrast, Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) impressed with its first post-merger results, Eagers Automotive (ASX:APE) delivered record revenue, and Qantas (ASX:QAN) soared on robust travel demand. Looking ahead to FY26, cost control, consumer shifts, and sector tailwinds are expected to drive momentum, with opportunities emerging across growth-focused mid-caps.
