Sectoral Patterns and Market Implications

The earnings season reveals that sectors such as ferrous metals, e-commerce, and specialised industrial products continue to show pockets of strength. Large-cap companies, while generally more stable, have shown a lower proportion of positive results compared to mid-caps, which may be benefiting from greater operational flexibility and niche market positioning.

Small-cap companies, despite a slightly lower positive result rate than mid-caps, have produced some of the top overall results, suggesting that select small-cap stocks are capitalising on sectoral tailwinds and innovation-driven growth. This dynamic highlights the importance of discerning stock selection within the small-cap space to identify companies with robust fundamentals and growth potential.

Investors may note that the overall positive result rate of 43.0% for the Sep-2025 quarter, while an improvement over the previous quarter, still indicates that more than half of the companies reported results that did not meet positive thresholds. This mixed earnings environment calls for careful analysis of individual company performance and sectoral outlooks when making investment decisions.
