The ASX winners

The Nearmap Ltd (ASX: NEA) share price soared above the clouds this week, propelling 30%. While the aerial imaging company lifted the lid on its FY22 results, it was a takeover bid that had the market excited. 

The Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW) share price was also on fire, lighting up 30% on Tuesday before eventually running out of steam to post a 7% gain across the week. Investors cheered as the online furniture retailer delivered 31% revenue growth in FY22 while its earnings margin came in at the high range of guidance.

The IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH) share price also hit a home run, finishing the week 17% higher. The market appears pleased with the company's global ambitions. Alongside its FY22 results, IPH announced a $387 million acquisition of Smart & Biggar, a leading Canadian intellectual property firm. This marks IPH's first expansion beyond the Asia Pacific region.

The Brambles Limited (ASX: BXB) share price also ended the week in the winners' column, pumping out a 12% gain. The logistics group shook off global supply chain challenges to deliver 9% sales growth in FY22, ahead of guidance, and boosted its final dividend.

Last but certainly not least, the BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) share price punched in a 7% weekly rise, fortifying its crown as the ASX's largest company. The Big Australian beat expectations in FY22 as strong cash flow performance led to a juicy final dividend of US$1.75 per share.

The ASX losers

While Temple & Webster soared, the pain continued for fellow ASX e-commerce share Redbubble Ltd (ASX: RBL). The Redbubble share price suffered a steep 40% intraday fall on Wednesday after marketplace revenue dropped 13% and earnings reversed in FY22.

The Pact Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: PGH) share price also found itself under pressure, packaging up a weekly loss of 19%. COVID and supply chain challenges contributed to a 25% fall in the company's FY22 underlying profit. Pact Group also slashed its final dividend by 75%.

The week wasn't kind to the TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPG) share price either, descending 13%. The ASX telco reported soft first-half results, impacted by restructuring and rising cost pressures.

The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Ltd (ASX: BEN) share price also had a week to forget, stumbling 11% as investors were unimpressed by the company's FY22 results. The ASX bank's commentary around its net interest margin may have spooked the market.

Finally, the Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT) share price failed to fire, slipping 8% across the week. The company's FY22 profits fell short of expectations and the ASX oil share warned investors that unit field operating costs would likely head north in FY23.
