Finding Alpha: Reporting Season Unpacked & Navigating Iran Volatility
16 March 2026
Raaz Bhuyan, Portfolio Manager at WaveStone Capital, recently joined the Finding Alpha podcast with James Clark to break down the key takeaways from February reporting season and the themes shaping Australian equities. They discuss how results tracked versus expectations (including a strong beat-to-miss ratio), why performance was concentrated in banks and miners, and what that implies for broader market leadership. This episode also explores heightened volatility driven by geopolitics, the growing influence of AI and how it’s influencing sector positioning and where selective opportunities may be emerging beyond the index-heavyweights.
