The Weekly Finance Wrap-Up

As we enter the final stages of the reporting period, we find the aggregate results have been fine… 

There are small downgrades of 0.4% to June 2024 ASX 200 earnings per share, these are not as big as a normal reporting season downgrade of 0.7%   

MST Strategist Hasan Tevfik, notes if we include the effect of a weakening AUD during the reporting period, we find ASX 200 EPS has been downgraded by just 10 basis points.  

As always, there have been good, bad and ugly in the reporting period, and the shares prices are reflecting this.
