COVID-19 has had a historic impact on Australia’s economy. The imposition of restrictions by Federal and State governments, coupled with depressed market conditions, has had significant financial ramifications for many of Australia’s largest listed companies.

As published by us in March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 in Australia precipitated an initial rush of earnings guidance withdrawals.

Our review has uncovered a number of interesting themes. We trust you will find these insights useful.
