Reporting season exposed a market moving in two very different directions. While resources and AI-linked infrastructure businesses continue to benefit from powerful global tailwinds, many consumer and housing-exposed companies are facing a more challenging outlook.

Join Fidelity Australian equity portfolio managers Paul Taylor, Sam Heithersay and James Abela, with host Lukasz de Pourbaix, as they unpack what the latest results revealed about the economy, earnings and where opportunities are emerging.

Key topics discussed:


Why dispersion is growing across the Australian market, with stark differences emerging between sectors and individual companies.


Where capital is flowing, from AI infrastructure and resources to quality businesses offering earnings resilience and certainty.


What separates the winners from the losers, including management quality, margin resilience and capital discipline in a tougher environment.


Where the team is finding opportunities, as volatility and changing valuations create openings across technology, property, resources and consumer stocks.
