Earnings preview: Here are the ASX shares reporting today

Wondering which ASX companies are releasing results on Thursday?

Mitchell stumbled upon the concept of investing when in high school, devotedly urging his parents to put some money into a handful of technology companies with increasingly popular products among his demographic – many of which have gone on to great success. It wouldn’t be until 2017, some five years later, that Mitchell became an investor of his own money. Having studied and worked as a mechanical engineer in the building services industry, Mitchell takes a methodical and analytical approach to evaluating businesses. Rather than relying purely on numbers, Mitchell drills beyond a company’s metaphorical mantle to unearth obscure patterns or competitive advantages that would go otherwise unnoticed. His expertise resides within areas such as software, consumer goods, and building services equipment. However, his quest to find quality companies that set the industry standard and flex some degree of an impenetrable position has no limits – small cap to mega cap, cosmetics to healthcare – if it’s an exceptional business it’s on his radar.

What to expect

Will it be a day of redemption or damnation for ASX tech share, Appen? Earlier this month, a time some refer to as confession season, Appen informed shareholders of further weakening in its expectations for the first half.

Furthermore, management guided for a grim US$9.5 million after tax loss, cratering from a US$6.7 million profit in the prior corresponding period. The important questions for shareholders will be: is the pain set to continue, and for how long?

On a more positive note, ASX lithium share Allkem is set to release its full-year results for FY22 today. Keen commodity investors will be hopeful of an impressive bottom-line number after seeing what Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS) produced for FY22. According to Citi analysts, Allkem is expected to post a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $311 million.

Finally, the elephant in the room — buy now, pay later provider Zip. This high-flying ASX share has more than doubled from where it was at the beginning of July. So, will it deliver on the high hopes of investors today? My colleague, Cathryn Goh, put together a list of items she will be looking at in the company's FY22 results today — unit economics is one of them.

Don't forget to check back in throughout the day to see all the latest results from your favourite ASX shares.
