Earnings season is now in full swing as we head into February.
With Chinese New Year just around the corner, investors have to juggle between upcoming festivities and keeping an eye on the health of the businesses they own.
The earnings report cards have been mixed thus far.
On one hand, businesses that have performed admirably through the crisis are continuing to do so.
Glove companies such as UG Healthcare Limited (SGX: 8K7) are reporting sharply higher revenue and earnings on the back of surging demand for healthcare gloves.
And data centre specialist Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU) has continued to churn out stronger financial numbers as data usage explodes upwards.
On the other hand, companies that have been adversely impacted by the crisis are still trying to cope the best they can.
Blue-chip companies Singapore Post Limited (SGX: S08) reported a 38% year on year fall in operating profit while Singapore Airlines Limited (SGX: C6L) announced a S$142 million net loss for its fiscal 2021’s third quarter.
The good news is that both companies are actively pivoting their businesses and adapting to what the crisis has thrown at them.
And if their transformation works, they should eventually emerge stronger.
