Rise and Shine: What you need to know before the ASX opens
News
share
On Stockhead today we look at the opportunity the plant-based meat market has to offer, why Tolga Kumova really likes Meteoric and we take a look at the performance of the health sector over the last fortnight.
But first here’s what you need to know.
The day ahead
Keep your eyes open for CBA’s Composite Purchasing Managers Index – due out at 9am.
But it’s a very busy day for earnings. There’s no shortage of large caps releasing earnings including Qantas (ASX:QAN) – which may also be accompanied by updates about its projects.
Among smaller caps we have buy now, pay later stock Zip (ASX:Z1P) and Rural Funds Group (ASX:RFR).
Rural will be of particular interest, coming a fortnight after it was attacked by a short-seller and plummeted, yet recovered with its rebuttal – both in words and actions.
You can view a full list of upcoming earnings here.
