AGL Energy Limited (ASX: AGL)

The AGL share price is down 4% to $7.81. Investors have been selling this energy company’s shares after the release of disappointing full year results for FY 2022. AGL reported an underlying profit after tax of $225 million, which was down 58% year over year.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp Ltd (ASX: FPH)

The Fisher & Paykel share price is down over 5% to $18.14. This follows the release of the medical device company’s guidance for FY 2023. The company revealed that it expects to report revenue of NZ$670 million and net profit after tax of NZ$85 million to NZ$95 million. This will be a big decline on the prior corresponding period which saw revenues of NZ$900 million thanks to COVID tailwinds.

Inghams Group Ltd (ASX: ING)

The Inghams share price is down 9% to $2.69. This morning this poultry company posted a 57.9% decline in net profit after tax to $35.1 million for FY 2022. Management blamed this on higher feed costs and supply chain disruptions. Inghams was forced to slash its dividend by 58% to 7 cents per share due to its lower profits.

TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPG)

The TPG share price is down over 13% to $5.74. This follows the release of the telco giant’s half year results. TPG reported an adjusted net profit after tax of $331 million, which was up 3.8% over the prior corresponding period. According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, TPG’s profits missed by 15%. It also highlights “disappointing opex and Mobile ARPU growth.”
