2012 has been a tumultuous economic period, and so the August reporting season will provide some interesting results for big name companies.

As results are released over the August period, CommSec’s expert market analysts are once again providing in depth examination of 50 key companies, across a range of industries; including construction, transport, media, resources, agriculture, retail and finance.

Video analysis

Juliette Saly, Juliana Roadley, Steven Daghlian and Tom Piotrowski, will be providing video analysis of each stock, and there will also be downloadable PDF reports for each available, so investors can keep  the results and consider what it means for them.

These reports are aimed at providing the key information investors need to know; including net profit, sales, EBITDA, dividends and dividend payments – all key performance indicators.

Results so Far

So far we’ve seen results from Leighton Holdings, Bradken Ltd, Transurban, Cochlear, Computershare, Rio Tinto, News Corporation, Telstra, UGL, Newcrest Mining, JB Hi-Fi and UGL Limited, and there’s been a mixed bag of fortunes over recent times.
