Reporting season has arrived.
This time of year is pivotal for the stock market as investors gauge how ASX-listed companies have delivered on their strategic goals amidst an evolving economic climate.
Key themes likely to shape sentiment include revenue growth, margin resilience, capital allocation, the quality of forward guidance, and, of course, dividends.
It's fair to say that August is poised to be an action-packed month.
And ASX 200 mining stocks will be firmly in the spotlight amongst the flurry of results.
We have already had an early glimpse with Rio Tinto Ltd (ASX: RIO) first out of the blocks, reporting its half-year FY25 results on Wednesday afternoon.
Investors appeared underwhelmed with the group's performance as the mining giant posted a drop in profits and declared its smallest dividend since 2018.
In turn, Rio Tinto's share price slipped by 3.5% in Thursday's trading, closing out the day at $111.78 per share.
Is this a sign of things to come for other ASX 200 mining shares during reporting season?
The month ahead
Before we dive into the key dates, a few points to note:
- Rio Tinto's financial year ends in December, so its results reflect the calendar year rather than the Australian financial year.
- The reporting dates listed below are for companies with financial years ending in June 2025 (FY25).
- These dates are subject to change, depending on final audit timelines and board signoffs.
- This is not an exhaustive list – other ASX 200 mining stocks will also report in August.
Without further ado, let's see when the mining industry's major players are due to deliver their FY25 results, listed in chronological order.
