What to expect
Plenty of eyes will be on energy retailer AGL Energy today after a disastrous full-year result from Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG) yesterday. Shocking the market, AGL's competitor revealed a considerable $1.43 billion loss for FY22.
However, analysts are suspecting AGL will fare better with its own financials. Estimates from Bloomberg have the company's net profit after tax (NPAT) pegged at $323.8 million.
Another ASX share packaging up its full-year numbers for today is hearing solutions company, Cochlear. Analysts at Citi expect NPAT to come in at $299 million. This figure would represent a nearly 9% reduction in its statutory earnings from the prior year.
No doubt Latitude will pique the interest of those interested in the buy now, pay later space. The financial solutions provider is set to release its half-year results today following an outstanding performance from fellow BNPL company, Sezzle Inc (ASX: SZL) yesterday.
Lastly, investors will be dialing in today to hear how teleco giant TPG has performed in the latest half. Estimates are suggesting a dividend of 9 cents per share is possible.
