Topic: Reporting Season

What is the Doherty Institute and are they really giving us a roadmap out of lockdown? Which company say an 80% increase in revenue on the back of Zoom Face, what are the Truckies actually striking about, and how did Crowdstrike strike it lucky?

Equity Mates is all about making markets accessible. For a long time now we’ve had a gripe with earnings calls. Why? They’re at inconvenient times, and they’re hard to find and listen to on demand. Last week Bryce and Alec made a deep dive on the US Tech Giants, but this week they turn their ears to Europe, and eavesdrop on some of the biggest companies you've never heard of (and some you definitely have) during their reporting season.

The US Reporting season is well and truly upon us, and all the big tech companies are holding their earnings calls. Despite being such a rich source of information for retail investors, earnings calls have been hard for the average person to access - they’re hard to find, and often at really unfortunate times. Thankfully, Quartr has solved this problem, and now allows the average investor to eavesdrop on these huge earnings calls. In today’s episode they cover four of the big US tech companies - hearing from Twitter, Facebook, Snap, and Square (who talks about their very important APT acquisition).

Our first guest for this series is a long-term friend and previous guest of the show - Larry Diamond. Larry is the CEO and co-founder of Zip (ASX: Z1P), and in this conversation Bryce and Alec ask him the questions you helped put together - in our Equity Mates Facebook Discussion Group. Listen to his previous episode here.

Reporting season is one of the most important times of the year for the stock market. All listed companies are required to update the market on how they've been going, and in August every year the majority of Australian companies report their full year results.

It's that time of year again, where companies report their performance to their shareholders, and the market. Over in the US, companies report every quarter, so we're seeing Quarter 2 results coming through at the moment..
