We are well into the earnings season which is the period when listed companies publish interim and audited accounts for the period ended June 30th 2017.

It is also a period where investors evaluate their portfolios based on the results released by the companies. For companies that post great results, it is likely that you see their share price rise while those that post weaker results could see their share price nose dive.

Another item of importance is the interim dividend typically declared in this period. June 30th is typically represents the half-year period for most companies and is also when they decide to declare interim dividends. Dividends as you might know already, is a critical factor in also deciding how shares get valued.
