What Wall Street Pros Will Look for This Earnings Season

“Normally, when a company reports results, a predictable ritual ensues. Investors locate the relevant earnings per share, and compare it to the consensus estimate. Then they dial in to the conference call and listen for the next quarter guidance. But the old ways will be of little use when banks kick off the reporting season mid-month. For a second straight quarter, investment pros everywhere are concocting homegrown methodologies and bespoke formulas to help them gauge a company’s health in the age of the coronavirus.”

“The pandemic is proving the ultimate test for Singapore, the tiny city-state that has a reputation of reinventing itself during times of crises.

The island nation of almost 6 million people punches above its weight as a leading international finance hub.”
