  • ASX200 faces a weak FY25 reporting season with a declining EPS outlook and lower forward P/E ratios, reflecting cautious sentiment in Australian equities.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
