Roger Montgomery
February 7, 2022
At $135.00 on 27 January, REA Group’s (ASX:REA) share price had fallen almost a quarter from its high of $176.81 in November 2021.

How will companies fare this reporting season?
Joseph Kim
February 3, 2022
February is here once again, and with that another reporting season. Conditions for this February reporting season are materially different to the ones faced by investors back in August. While we were in the midst of lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne, the June 2021 period just passed represented a robust set of operating conditions as economies were roaring from re-opening and fiscal stimulus, we had a manageable COVID-19 situation (B.O – before Omicron) and “supply chain disruptions” weren’t really a thing. continue…

February 1, 2022
In response to recent trading updates, the share prices of many listed retailers have been hit for six. With retail sales falling short of expectations, supply chain disruptions, and the risk of excess inventories, some investors have been spooked, and have headed for the exits. Happily, the price falls have not hit every business, and it’s interesting to see which retailers have won the market’s approval. continue…
