Last week earnings season kicked off with results from the likes of ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD) and Rio Tinto Limited (ASX: RIO).

It is expected to move up a gear this week with a wide range of results scheduled for release. Here is what to expect from week two of earnings season:

Tuesday.

Things kick off again on Tuesday with results from honey producer Capilano Honey Ltd (ASX: CZZ), education services provider Navitas Limited (ASX: NVT), accounting software company Reckon Limited (ASX: RKN), and toll road giant Transurban Group (ASX: TCL).

In respect to the latter, Transurban is expected to report net profit after tax of $456.14 million according to the Bloomberg consensus estimate.

Wednesday.

On Wednesday the results of embattled financial services company AMP Limited (ASX: AMP), banking giant Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), and sports betting and lotteries company Tabcorp Holdings Limited (ASX: TAH) are scheduled to be released.

According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, the broker has forecast Commonwealth Bank to deliver a cash profit down 5.9% on the prior corresponding period to $9,089 million. Goldman has forecast a final dividend of $2.30 per share versus the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $2.25 per share.

Thursday.

On Thursday energy company AGL Energy Ltd (ASX: AGL), casino and resorts operator Crown Resorts Ltd (ASX: CWN), investment company Magellan Financial Group Ltd (ASX: MFG), and insurance giant Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN) are pencilled in to release their results.

The four companies are expected to report profits of $1,310 million, $408 million, $209.8 million, and $990.6 million, respectively.

Friday.

Week two finishes with results from retail park-focused property group Aventus Retail Property Fund (ASX: AVN), baby products retailer Baby Bunting Group Ltd (ASX: BBN), and real estate investment trust Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW).

While the market is expecting a weak result from Baby Bunting due to the negative impact of clearance sales from closing competitors, a lot of focus will be on how FY 2019 has started and management's outlook.
