It's already been a bumper ASX reporting season as a swathe of S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares have lifted the lid on their results.
But this coming week could be the busiest yet, with a whole host of ASX 200 shares pencilled into our Foolish ASX reporting season calendar.
Tomorrow will see Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV) post its maiden set of full-year results.
Meanwhile, Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) and Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC) should drop their FY22 reports on Thursday.
But amidst the flurry of news, there will be some even bigger ASX 200 shares releasing their results.
Without further ado, here are the three largest ASX 200 shares reporting this week.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
On Wednesday, investors will be able to sink their teeth into the full-year FY22 results from this ASX 200 supermarket share.
Coles last updated the market in April when it released its third-quarter sales report.
The company delivered 3.9% sales growth, with supermarkets and liquor growth offsetting a decline in Coles Express sales.
Coles noted the third quarter was characterised by unprecedented events, with Omicron and floods disrupting the company's operations. It also acknowledged cost price inflation was impacting suppliers on the back of increased raw material, commodity, shipping, and fuel costs.
Inflation will likely be the big talking point when Coles reports on Wednesday. Investors will be watching to see how much of the cost increases have been passed on to consumers. And how the current landscape has been impacting demand and purchasing patterns.
There's no doubt investors will also be eagerly awaiting their dividends. Broker Citi is expecting Coles to declare a final dividend of 32 cents. This would take Coles' total FY22 dividends to 65 cents, putting shares on a tasty dividend yield of 3.4%.
Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)
Coles' biggest rival will report the day after, with its FY22 results scheduled for release on Thursday.
It will be a similar story for Woolworths, with all eyes on how the ASX supermarket is navigating the current inflationary environment.
Woolies delivered 9.7% sales growth in the third quarter of FY22, with Australian Food sales up 5.4%. A return to COVID-related shopping behaviour underpinned this in the early part of the quarter along with rising food inflation.
The company has also been active on the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) front. It lobbed a bid for formerly ASX-listed Australian Pharmaceuticals Industries at the end of last year.
After that fell through, Woolies set its sights on a new target. To this end, the supermarket giant is now in the final stages of acquiring an 80% stake in online retail marketplace MyDeal.Com Au Ltd (ASX: MYD).
Notably, its FY22 report will be Woolworths' first full-year result after spinning off Endeavour at the end of June 2021.
Broker Goldman Sachs is forecasting a final dividend of 57 cents per share. This would take Woolies' FY22 dividends to 96 cents, putting shares on a dividend yield of 2.4%.
Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)
Last but not least, ASX 200 conglomerate Wesfarmers will round out the week and release its FY22 results on Friday.
While often put in the same basket, Wesfarmers is distinctly different from Coles and Woolies in that it doesn't operate a chain of supermarkets.
It instead plays around in the retail space, offering products that are more discretionary in nature through its stable of market-leading brands.
As a result, Wesfarmers is more exposed to inflation and rising living costs compared to supermarkets, which sell essential products.
So it goes without saying that inflation will again be a key theme when Wesfarmers hands in its FY22 report on Friday.
COVID lockdowns also rattled the ASX conglomerate during FY22 due to the non-essential nature of some of its retail stores.
With respect to dividends, broker Morgans anticipates Wesfarmers will declare a final dividend of 85 cents on Friday. This would take Wesfarmers' total FY22 dividends to $1.65, chalking up a dividend yield of 3.4%.
