Australia shares gain on strong earnings; NZ hits another record

Australian shares climbed 0.8 per cent on Tuesday aided by broad-based gains across all sectors as sentiment was buoyed by better-than-feared results from several large companies in the earnings season so far.

The S&P/ASX 200 index rose 42.15 points to 5,557.20 by 0115 GMT. The benchmark lost 0.21 per cent on Monday.

Banks and healthcare stocks led gains, aided by strong earnings from healthcare services provider Healthscope which posted a nearly 19 per cent rise in full year profits.

Australian companies have fared well in the current earnings season which is almost halfway through, Deutsche and UBS analysts wrote in separate 'earnings review' notes.
