The reporting season kicks off next week and we can expect a plethora of releases across the NZX. About two thirds of the companies on our market will report

earnings through August and September. As always, there will be winners and losers. Some companies will be feeling the pressure of slower economic growth

and rising costs, while others will have enjoyed a pleasing return to profitability. The next several weeks will allow us to take the pulse of corporate New Zealand, providing some real-time insights into where the economy is at and where it’s headed.
