 * Inflation-beating shares
 * Tech shares
 * Bank shares
 * Healthcare shares
 * Consumer staple shares



While inflation in Australia has cooled down from its peak of 7.8% in Q4, 2022,
it remains elevated and far away from the RBA's targeted range. According to the
RBA's recent projections, inflation is unlikely to reach central banks’ 2% - 3%
target band until late 2025. Therefore, the Reserve Bank of Australia has
emphasized its commitment to lowering inflation to its target range of 2% - 3%
by keeping interest rates higher for an extended period.

In this increasingly hawkish economic environment, attention is on stocks that
can outperform inflation during the earnings season. These are often referred to
as "defensive stocks," companies known for providing consistent dividends and
the ability to withstand the impact of inflation.

Whilst tech shares generally don’t perform well during periods of high
inflation, the recent hype around AI has bucked this trend and they continue to
succeed despite the inflationary environment.
Companies such as NVDIA and AMD who create the chips needed to implement AI have
seen a significant increase in their share price since the beginning of the
hype.

In the ASX market, these are the names with AI exposure: Appen, Brainchip and
Bigtincan.

Over the past year, bank shares have been somewhat turbulent, but following the
Federal Reserve's recent indication that interests are likely to drop in the
first half of 2024, they've rallied, reaching their highest level since the
banking crisis early last year.

That said, inflation and interest rates remain high, and some smaller, less
established banks may struggle, as customers look to invest their money into the
larger banks which they perceive to be more stable, lower risk options. But in
this increasingly dovish environment, this remains to be seen.

In the ASX market, four big banks—Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac, and NAB are
the most well-known bank shares.

With bank shares making up a sizeable portion of Australia’s sharemarket, the
country’s big four banks – CBA, WBC, ANZ and NAB – tend to be some of the most
heavily scrutinised shares every earnings season.

Due to an ageing population, it’s anticipated that healthcare stocks will grow
in the next year or so.

New developments in possible treatments for illnesses such as Alzheimer's,
diabetes and cancer are predicted to positively impact the market.

In fact, analysts from BlackRock expect a new treatment for diabetes which has
since been found to also help with obesity, could increase the revenue of the
prescription drug market by $100 billion.

The ASX healthcare sector encompasses a broad range of businesses, ranging from
biotech firms like CSL Limited, which is the third largest ASX-listed company by
market capitalization, to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facility owners
and operators, as well as medical device designers and manufacturers.

Due to the consistent demand consumer staple stocks are generally able to
perform well during periods of high inflation. These include sectors such as
retail, food and beverage, tobacco and personal products.

PepsiCo, Estee Lauder and Unilever are just a few of the consumer staple stocks
performing particularly well at the moment.

Top consumer staples stocks on the ASX include big supermarket chains like
Woolworth and Coles, and food and beverage producers like Bega Cheese and A2
Milk.

TAKE ADVANTAGES OF EARNINGS SEASON WITH EXTENDED HOURS TRADING

Trading pre- and post-market enables you to take a position on key US shares
outside normal trading hours.

Most AU traders can only trade the US stock markets from 01:30am to 8am AEDT,
but with our extended hours you can trade for much longer.*

 * CFDs on All Session US shares
   8pm to 12pm Monday to Thursday, and 8pm Friday to 9am Saturday AEDT*
 * Share trading on All Session US shares
   11pm to 9:30am Monday to Thursday, and 11pm Friday to 9am Saturday AEDT*

You'll find our extended trading hours markets labelled ‘All Session’, to
distinguish them from the shares which can only be traded in normal US market
hours.

*Our extended trading hours are based on UK hours, and are converted to AU time
zones. This means that the times listed are affected by both UK and AU clock
changes in the year, and will be adjusted by +/- 1 hour accordingly.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO TRADE WITH EXTENDED HOURS?

WHAT IS AN EARNINGS (REPORTING) SEASON?

An earnings season is a period in which most public companies release their
earnings reports.

Quarterly reports are mandatory in the US but not in Australia, where companies
report on a semi-annual basis instead. However, many larger Australian companies
also provide updates in the quarters in which they don’t report official
earnings, to satisfy investor demand for greater information and guidance.

 * When is earnings season
 * Why are earnings seasons important
 * Ways to trade earning seasons
 * What is an earnings report and call
 * How to trade earnings reports



Earnings seasons occur four times a year and fall in the months of January to
February, April to May, July and September to November. These are usually a
couple of weeks after the final month of each financial quarter (end of
December, March, June and August).

Although it’s not uncommon for companies to report outside of earnings seasons,
large companies’ releases tend to fall within a few weeks of each other, leading
to four discernible ‘seasons’ every year.

For more specific details, you can look at our earnings calendar to find out the
exact date of a company’s earnings announcement.

Earnings announcements are released outside of market hours so that the reports
reach as many people as possible and don’t interrupt the trading day. While this
usually means you can’t take a position immediately, with us you can trade over
90 US shares pre- and post-market hours.

Earnings season gives insights into the outlook of a company and can help you to
determine whether to take a position on the share.

This is why earnings releases are usually accompanied by volatility in a
company’s share price, because market sentiment is adjusting to the reports.
Even more volatility is expected once CEOs have provided more information in
earnings calls.

Market analysts will form estimates of whether a company’s earnings will rise or
fall, which can change as it gets closer to the official announcement. If the
actual numbers are above analysts’ expectations, the market could rise. But if
the figures are below expectations, it’s likely that the market will fall.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, the market can
move in the complete opposite direction – rising when the expectations aren’t
met, and falling when the earnings exceed expectations.

It’s also important to look at a company’s historical figures for predicted and
actual earnings and how the market responded to the reports. This could help you
form an educated guess as to how volatility might play out.

When analysts’ expectations of a company’s earnings per share are in line with
pre-released earnings guidance for that quarter, there tends to be little
volatility. Just remember, the opposite is also true.

Trade via CFDs

Take advantage of both rising and falling markets with these derivative
products. CFDs are also leveraged, so you can open a position for less – just
remember, leverage comes with increased risk.

custodial model, you’ll be able to buy and have a stake in actual assets – for
example, shares in a ASX 200-tracking ETF or ASX 200-constituent company. You’ll
also be entitled to dividends if any are paid, and granted voting rights if
applicable.

Plus, deal US shares commission-free, and Australian shares for as little as
A$5, when you trade three or more times per month.2

An earnings report is a document given to shareholders and analysts that details
items such as net income, earnings per share (EPS) and net sales.

An earnings call is a conference between the management of a company, analysts,
investors and the media to discuss the outcome of an earnings report. It is a
chance for questions to be asked about the main details of the reports.

Depending on when a company holds its earnings call, you can use the information
to inform their decisions. However, not all companies hold earnings calls, and
some will not fall within the earnings period.

 1. Choose which companies to focus on
    It’s impossible to cover every company, so just stick to a few of your
    favourites.
 2. Do your research and look at analysis
    Find out when each company is due to report its earnings, see what analysts
    expectations are and how the share price normally responds.
 3. Create a trading strategy and stick to it
    Choose your goals, methodology for entering and exiting trades, and how you
    will manage your risk.
 4. Open a trading account and take your first position
    You can monitor your trade easily on our platform, or set price alerts to
    let you know when your targets are met.
 5. Learn from each earnings season
    Once you decide to close your trade, it’s important to review your results
    and perform post-analysis to prepare you for the next earnings season.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly
due to leverage. You do not own or have any interest in the underlying asset.
You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can
afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Please consider the Margin
Trading Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Risk Disclosure Notice and Target
Market Determination before entering into any CFD transaction with us.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through an IG share trading account
can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally
put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your
exposure.
