Analysts are upbeat about the earnings outlook for listed companies in the February reporting season, despite headwinds such as the coronavirus-induced supply chain disruptions. The consensus of analysts is that S&P/ASX 200 companies’ growth in earnings per share will exceed pre-pandemic levels. However, Karen Jorritsma of RBC Capital Markets says it will be a "very messy" reporting season, due to factors such as rising costs. Ansell has become the latest company to downgrade its earnings per share guidance in response to cost pressures.
