Company Research

Public companies in the U.S. disclose significant information about their finances and operations in the form of SEC filings.

The 10-K/Q have the most detail about a company's finances.

• 10-K: The annual report submitted to the SEC for a U.S. publicly traded company. Here's how you read it.
• 10-Q: The quarterly report submitted to the SEC for a U.S. publicly traded company.
• 20-F: The equivalent of a 10-K for a foreign company trading on a US exchange.
• 8-K: A form submitted when a materially important event happens at a company, so shareholders know about it.
